This study explores the allometric modeling, biomass estimation, and carbon stock potential of highland bamboo in the Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia. The study was conducted in two key highland bamboo growing areas within the Sidama Regional State: a natural bamboo forest in Garamba and homestead bamboo farms in Hula. In Garamba, highland bamboo forms pure stands at elevations higher than other tree species, while in Hula, it is cultivated in discrete stands within farmlands, mainly for bamboo pole production.
