However, there have been limited scientifically investigation and communication of the potential carbon stock potential of natural forest resources with the global community. Therefore, inventory and estimation of stocks and fluxes of carbon from natural vegetation under different forest communities and different environmental patterns should be done and communicate to the global community for conservation and to get appropriate credit. To do this, 9 forest communities in different agroecology were selected areas of Awi Zone, Northwest Ethiopia. To this end 76 quadrates with 20meter*20meter quadrate size 200meter distance within quadrates and transect lines Diameter, height, and environmental gradient data were collected and analyzed with R Ver.3.1, XLSTAT, and SPSS Ver.25.

Three sites representing three different elevations viz. highland, midland and lowland agroecology were selected. A total of 196 households were randomly selected to collect socioeconomic data. Data on woody species diversity in crop fields was collected by categorizing households as rich, medium and poor and from that categorized household the woody species data were collected from near, medium and far away from homesteads. A total of 39 woody species belonging to 24 families were recorded in the farmlands of the study area. The Shannon diversity index varied from 2.61 to 2.85 and species evenness varied from 0.83 to 0.87 in the study areas. Woody species diversity, richness and abundance were significantly different between rich, medium and poor households at the three study sites. Similarly species richness, abundance and divers...
