Stok Karbon Organik Pada Sedimen Di Ekosistem Mangrove Rehabilitasi Desa Kedabu Rapat Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti
Global climate change caused by increased carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions poses a serious threat to coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests that have a high capacity to absorb and store large amounts of carbon. Kedabu Rapat Village in the Meranti Islands Regency, Riau Province, is a coastal area that has implemented a mangrove rehabilitation program since 2017 as an effort to overcome abrasion and enhance ecosystem functions. This study aims to determine mangrove density, organic carbon stock in the sediment, the relationship between mangrove density and carbon stock, as well as the comparison of carbon stock values between sediment depths. The research was conducted using a survey method at three stations based on the year the rehabilitation was carried out, with sediment sampling taken vertically to a depth of 30 cm and organic carbon analyzed using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method. The parameters measured include vegetation density, water quality, and sediment carbon content. The results showed that mangrove density was very dense with an average of 7,911 ind/ha, and the average sediment carbon stock reached 117.23 tons/ha, with the highest value at Station 3 with an average of 135.19 tons/ha. Statistical analysis showed a very weak relationship between mangrove density and carbon stock, which is thought to be influenced by the accumulation of organic material such as sesai and other environmental factors such as sedimentation and soil structure. The distribution of carbon stock between depths showed relatively uniform values with an average of 38.25–40.58 tons/ha.
