In the present study, carbon stocks of linear structures of trees outside forest in Kurnool district were estimated through sampling of 236 0.1 ha plots. A total of 3922 tree individuals belonging to 51 angiosperm species were enumerated in the sampled plots. The mean tree density was 150.50 per ha; mean basal area is 24.54 m2 ha-1; mean volume of trees with ≥10 cm diameter is 20.07 m3 ha-1; mean total tree biomass is 176.20 tons ha-1 and mean carbon stock is 83.66 tons ha-1. Extrapolated biomass and carbon content for linear structures are calculated as 0.528 Mt and 0.251 Mt respectively. The carbon sequestration potential is estimated as 0.918 Mt CO2.
