Estimasi Stok Karbon Pada Permukaan Atas Di Kawasan Mangrove Sungai Bersejarah Kampung Kayu Ara Permai, Kecamatan Sungai Apit, Kabupaten Siak
Aboveground Carbon Stock Estimationinthe Mangrove Ecosystem of the Historic River, Kayu Ara Permai Village, Sungai Apit District, Siak Regency, Global warming is one of the main drivers of climate change, with coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests playing a key role in mitigating its impacts through carbon sequestration. This study aimed to analyze the biomass and carbon sequestration potential of the mangrove forest in the Historic River area of Kayu Ara Permai Village, Sungai Apit Subdistrict, Siak Regency. Data collection was conducted in May–June 2025 using a non-destructive method based on allometric equations. Observations were carried out at three stations, each consisting of six plots measuring 10 × 10 m. Six dominant mangrove species were identified: Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba, Ceriops tagal, Xylocarpus granatum, and Bruguiera gymnorhiza. The average tree density was 1,266.67 individuals per hectare, and the mean aboveground biomass was 496,45 tons. Theestimated carbon stockwas211,53 tonsC/ha, whiletheCO₂ sequestration potential reached 217.12 tons CO₂/ha. Among all species, Rhizophora apiculata contributed the most to biomass and carbon accumulation. These results highlight the critical ecological role of mangrove forests in climate change mitigation and emphasize the need for sustainable conservation and further research on belowground carbon pools such as root biomass and sediment carbon.
