Analysis of above-ground biomass and carbon stock was performed in South-West of Western Carpathians.Data from two management plans of Moldova Noua Forest District (10 years between) were used.Total above-ground biomass and carbon stock was calculated using allometric equations.Forests from Moldova Noua Forest District stored 1.814.297tonnes of biomass in 2006 and in 2016 stored 1.706.545tonnes of biomass.Also, total equivalent of CO2 decreased from 852.720 tonnes in 2006 to 802.076 tonnes in 2016.The theoretical functions Gamma 3P, Lognormal 3P and Weibull 3P have not been suitable to describe the experimental distribution of carbon stock.A GIS based method was used to assess the geographic distribution of quantity of carbon stock and was established the evolution of carbon stock between 2006 and 2016.The results are promising and were obtained with a minimum effort, encouraging further research.
