Industrialization and population growth enhance earth greenhouse effect which is a critical environment problem. Carbon dioxide is the most significant contributor to the human influence on the green house effect and trees act as sink for CO2 by fixing carbon during photosynthesis and storing surplus carbon as biomass which after through time as tree grow, die & decay. Carbon sequestration is a natural method for the removal of carbon from atmosphere by storing it in the biosphere. As more photosynthesis occurs more co2 is converted in to biomass reducing Co2 in the atmosphere and sequestering it in plant tissue above and below ground resulting with growth of different parts. The continued and indiscriminate exploitation of forest resulted in an imminent environment crisis. The release of Co2 cannot be stopped easily. The only solution for Co2 mitigation is reforestation and conservation of existing species and diversity keeping in this view an attempt has been made to study the carbon sequestration by P1 comportment of Kamta beat forest of Chitrakoot. The study area was divided in to open and dense forest. Total 8 tree species were observed. In open forest total no. of trees was found 182 and in dense forest no. of trees was found 246. In this study carbon sequestration by open forest was 3793.94 kg/year & by dense forest 7730.95 kg/year. The total carbon sequestration was observed 11524.89 kg/year in study area.
