ESTIMASI KARBON TERSIMPAN PADA TEGAKAN POHON DI HUTAN PANTAI PULAU KOTOK BESAR, BAGIAN BARAT, KEPULAUAN SERIBU
Abstract: The high activity of
urban communities anthropogenic especially in Jakarta City cause high rates of carbon
emissions. This problem is increased with the high rate of deforestation which
is high enough in urban areas. One of ecosystem that can reduce carbon
emissions is coastal forest ecosystem. Forests can reduce carbon emissions in the
atmosphere and storing it in various compartments such as vegetation, litter
and soil organic matter. One of the islands which have a coastal forest with
good enough condition is Kotok Besar Island, the cluster of Seribu Islands.
This study aims to estimate the carbon stored in tree stands at coastal forest
region of west side of Kotok Besar Island, Seribu Islands. Methods of
calculating carbon stock was done by making the observation plots and
distributed by random sampling method to calculate diameter at breast height
(dbh) and identify the type of tree stands were found in the observation plots.
dbh data was inserted into allometric equation to obtain the potential of
stored carbon estimates. The results showed that the coastal forest of west
side of the Kotok Besar Island have the number of plant species that dominate
as many as four species, which consists of Thespesia populnea, Casuarina sp.,
Calophyllum sp., and Cocos nucifera. Biomass value is 853.94 tons / ha and
potential of carbon stored is 426.97 tons/ha.
