The present study reported soil organic carbon content in the year and after when the natural forest was converted into another land used management systems known as agroforestry. The experiment has 15 treatments laid down in randomize block design with three replications involving 45 subplots. The treatment consisted of three multipurpose trees (Michelia champaca, Tectona grandis, Parkia roxburghii) and three agricultural crops (Zea mays, Curcuma longa and Glycine max). Highest soil organic carbon content was recorded in the treatment T7 (Michelia champaca + Zea mays) and minimum in T11 (Tectona grandis + Curcuma longa). Among the tree, T4 (Michelia champaca) recorded maximum soil organic carbon followed by T6 (Parkia rogburghii) and lowest in T5 (Tectona grandis). Among the crop, T1 (Zea mays) recorded highest soil organic carbon compared to that of T3 (Glycine max) and T2 (Curcuma longa). The content of soil organic carbon gradually decreased at the start of the experiment, but slightly increased towards the end of harvesting. Soil organic carbon content was higher in tree-crop interaction in comparison to the control plots. Similar patterns were observed for all the treatments. The study suggests that tree-based agroforestry system provides a good source and sink of carbon even though no significant variation was observed between the different treatments during the first year period of study.
