Maintaining trees on farmland improves the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural lands and contributes to global carbon balance. Samples of 35 trees were harvested for aboveground biomass (AGB) and carbon stock measurements in parkland agroforestry fields of eastern zone of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Allometric equations were developed using the regression models that related the total AGB with diameter at stump height (DSH), diameter at breast height (DBH) and a combination of DSH, DBH, height (H) and crown diameter (CD). The allometric model related to DBH, Ln (AGB) = -2.85 + 2.4 ln (DBH), was considered the best fit, with the highest adj. R2 (0.88) and lowest prediction residuals sum of squares (PRESS) (3.51 kg), bias (-2 kg), root mean square error (RMSE) (0.3 kg), and Akaike information criterion (AIC) at P<0.01. To validate the best-fitting model for AGB estimation, cross-validation was performed. When assessed with the AGB of F. albida data sets from this work, the species-specific and multi-species previously published models substantially overestimated by 60% and underestimated by 50% respectively. F. albida total AGB was 3372.25 kg ha-1 and 1584.96 kg ha-1 of carbon for a density of 47 trees ha-1 in the parklands. In the F. albida-based parkland farming system, our study identified patterns of carbon distribution in different tree sizes that may serve as a guide for programs that measure, report, and verify carbon stock and promote climate resilient farming system.

Journal of Hyojeong Academia aims to serve as a global platform where researchers and scholars of various disciplines can contribute ideas for our sustainable global community of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness. The journal is a multidisciplinary, open‐access, internationally peer‐reviewed
academic journal, and it invites all areas of research conducted in the spirit of post materialism including studies centering on God, studies unifying religions and
sciences, and studies on all aspects of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness.
