Estimasi Cadangan Karbon pada Tanaman Mangrove Nipah (Nypa fruticans) di Desa Pante Bayam Kecamatan Madat Kabupaten Aceh Timur

Abstract

This study aims to estimation of carbon stocks in Nipah mangrove plants (Nypa fruticans). This research was conducted in Pante Bayam Village, Madat District, East Aceh Regency. This exercise was conducted using the comparative exposé method using a Non-Factorial Randomised Group Design (RAK) with six replicates. The treatment factors are (U1) age less than four years, (U2) age less than eight years, (U3) age less than twelve years and (U4) age less than sixteen years. They calculate biomass content values based on the allometric formula for Nipah mangrove species and perform laboratory tests for sediment samples at a depth of 30 cm. The total estimated carbon stock in nipah mangrove is 2,797.17 tons/ha, while for the estimation of carbon stock in sediment, the total value is 16.149 tons/ha. The highest total carbon storage value in nipah mangroves was 17,627 tons/ha at plant age less than sixteen years and the lowest was 10,541 tons/ha at plant age less than eight years with a total carbon storage of 55,958 tons/ha..
