The objective of this project is to study of carbon storage of prominent plant species in the summer and rainy seasons of Bang Rak ,Trang, White cheese wood Tree, Indian oak, Yang Na Tree and sentang to compare the carbon sequestration of the dominant tree species in the summer and rainy season in Bang Rak. Summer in February -March 2023 and during the rainy season in July - August 2023, the authors collected tree data using the GLOBE observer trees height app, i.e. height and circumference of trees, and then used the data to calculate the biomass of trees and analyze the amount of carbon sequestered in trees according to the principle of the allometry equation. Carbon-Storage app The results showed that the growth of each dominant plant species The height, circumference and amount of rainy season carbon storage are higher than in summer for all varieties and there are statistically significant differences. The dominant tree with the highest average increase in height is sentang, Indian oak tree is the dominant tree with the highest average increase in circumference, and Indian oak tree has the highest increase in carbon sequestration over summer, accounting for 40.19 percent.
