The present study was undertaken at the experimental site situated at Agroforestry Research Centre, Haldi of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Bamboo as species has many economical and ecological benefits. Soil samples collected under six different bamboo species namely Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Bambusa nutans, Dendrocalamus asper Bambusa bambos Bambusa balcooa and Dendrocalamus strictus showed significant increase in microbial population and soil organic carbon (SOC) than open plot (control). Maximum bacterial (67.87 × 106 cfu g-1) and actinomycetes (53.17 × 105 cfu g-1) population was showed under D. hamiltonii. Microbial populations and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock also showed significant correlation.
