The present study explores the carbon sequestration potential of two extensively cultivated banana cultivars, i.e. Atsu Mungo and Aot Mungo, from Nagaland, North East India. The Musa cultivars were planted on experi­mental plots along an altitudinal gradient. Plant traits such as suckers, number of leaves, height and diameter at breast height were recorded. The biomass and carbon sequestration potential were estimated using allometric equations. The cultivars had substantial carbon seque­stration ability and higher values of sequestration were observed at lower altitudes for both cultivars
