Carbon stocks of above- and belowground tree biomass in Kibate Forest around Wonchi Crater Lake, Central Highland of Ethiopia

Sixty-six plots (30m X 30m) were laid out at 100m interval distance along altitudinal gradients in five transects. Environmental variables, tree biomass, and C stock (Aboveground biomass, Belowground biomass, Total biomass, Aboveground C stock, Belowground C stock, Total Carbon stock, Human impact, and Livestock grazing) within 66 plots in Kibate Forest were assessed.

A total of 125 species were recorded in Kibate Forest, out of which 20 species were tree forms. The list of species is published in another dataset which was done in Kibate Forest. Four species with large-sized individual tree contributed to more than half of the total stem density (57.8%).
