Agroforestry systems offer a promising nature-based solution for climate change mitigation by enhancing carbon (C) sequestration in both biomass and soils. This study was conducted in Habro District, West Hararghe Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia, to assess and compare the carbon stock potential of parkland and coffee-based agroforestry systems. Habro District was purposefully selected due to its prevalent agroforestry practices. A total of 32 farm plots (16 from each system) were randomly selected from two kebeles. Field measurements included vegetation inventory, soil sampling at two depths (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm), and biomass assessment using species-specific and general allometric equations.
