POTENSI ESTIMASI KARBON TERSIMPAN PADA VEGETASI MANGROVE DI WILAYAH PESISIR MUARA GEMBONG KABUPATEN BEKASI
ABSTRACT: Mangrove Muara
Gembong can be considered as buffering system of high CO2 produced by industries
in Bekasi. This study aims to determine the carbon stored in standing
mangrove’s Muara Gembong. The research was conducted on March 2014 in the
coastal area of Muara Gembong, Bekasi Regency West Java. The method used in
this study is a survey method with sampling purposive sampling technique. The
results showed that the degree of dominance of mangrove species in Muara
Gembong at station I, II, III and IV were Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia
alba, S. caseolaris, R. mucronata. Potential carbon stored of mangrove stands
in Muara Gembong is 55,35 tons ha, with the highest carbon stored in mangrove
species Rhizophora mucronata is 17,60 tons/ha. Based on the potential of
biomass and carbon being produced, showed that the ability of mangrove
ecosystem to absorbing carbon in Muara Gembong is not too high .
