Estimation of Mangrove Carbon Stocks at Muara Badak Waters, Kutai Kartanegara
Keywords:
Mangrove, carbon stock, mangrove density, Muara BadakAbstract
The most important ecological function of the mangrove ecosystem is to absorb and store carbon in efforts to mitigate global warming. This study aims to determine the density of mangrove species and analyze the amount of carbon stock in mangrove area at the Muara Badak Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. This research was conducted in July 2022 at two sampling stations using the line transect method. The results showed that the average mangrove density at Station I was 1,100 ind/ha and at Station II was 1,133 ind/ha, indicating that the two stations were in moderate/good condition. The estimated carbon stock of mangrove at Station I has an average carbon of 1.789 tons/ha and at Station II has an average carbon of 2.169 tons/ha. The correlation between mangrove density and mangrove carbon stock showed a close relationship with the R value is 0.9278.
