- Forests are key components of the global carbon cycle, yet their sequestration potential is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic disturbance, particularly in dryland ecosystems. This study assessed ecosystem carbon stocks of the Gamadu Indigenous Afromontane Forest in the Borana dryland of southern Ethiopia across low-, moderate-, and high-disturbance gradients. Aboveground and belowground biomass, soil organic carbon (0–30 cm), litter, and deadwood carbon pools were quantified using systematic plot-based sampling and standard allometric and laboratory methods. Results showed a pronounced decline in total ecosystem carbon stock with increasing disturbance, from 363.04 t ha⁻¹ in low-disturbance sites to 267.06 t ha⁻¹ in highly disturbed sites. Live biomass constituted the dominant carbon pool (≈72.5%), followed by soil organic carbon (≈24.3%), while litter and deadwood contributed marginally. Biomass carbon was strongly correlated with tree structural attributes, particularly diameter at breast height and basal area. Deadwood carbon increased with disturbance, reflecting elevated tree mortality. Despite disturbance, large culturally protected trees persisted across sites, highlighting the conservation role of the Borana Gada system. The study demonstrates that minimizing disturbance is critical for maintaining carbon stocks and underscores the importance of integrating indigenous forest governance into climate change mitigation strategies.

- 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.
