The present study aims to quantify carbon storage in different biomass pools of Psidium guajava agroecosystems in the northern region of Cameroon in order to understand their contribution to climate change mitigation. The destructive and non-destructive methods were used according to a random complete Fisher block device with 4 repetitions. The results obtained show that the average total carbon stock of Psidium guajava agroecosystems in the northern zone of Cameroon is 44.44 ± 4.96 tC/ha. The total carbon stock varies by region; in the Adamawa region (46.30 ± 4.91 tC/ha); North (46.34 ± 4.93 tC/ha) and Far North (40.69 ± 4.98 tC/ha). These results show the considerable contribution of Psidium guajava agroecosystems in the fight against the mitigation of climate change in the Septentrion zone of Cameroon.
