A study was conduct to measure carbon stock in Mukteshwar region of Central Himalayas; 12plots of 20×20m (400m²) were laid down in four different disturbance regime of oak forest. The aim of the research was to estimate the soil organic carbon and role of organic carbon in degradation of oak forest. From this research we found that It was observed that the minimum carbon in the soil (%) was observed in the degraded forest and where the fall of the garbage was lower and the removal of the rubbish was considerable in relation to the fall of the garbage. The intensity of pruning in degraded forests was high, which reduced the crown coverage; The combination of the aforementioned factors had a negative impact on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The percentage of carbon in the soil varied significantly between disorders. Undisturbed forest land showing a high level of carbon in the soil in the upper layers and in the degraded forest showed less carbon in the soil. However, when descending into the deeper depths, the variation in soil carbon through the disturbances is minimal, suggesting that the impact of the soil carbon disturbance is concentrated in the upper layers. Even the impact of the disturbances began to manifest in the deeper layers, but the difference is minimal.
