Estimasi Serapan Karbon Pada Ekosistem Mangrovedi Desa pasar Pedati, Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah, Provinsi Bengkulu
Estimation of Carbon Sequestration in the Mangrove Ecosystem of Pasar Pedati Village, Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province, Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage and sequestration. This research was conducted in Pasar Pedati Village, Central Bengkulu Regency, to estimate carbon stocks, CO₂ uptake, and analyze the relationship between biomass and carbon stocks. Mangrove vegetation was dominated by Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, and Avicennia alba with an average density of 251 ind/ha, which is considered damaged. The estimated total biomass reached 517,876 tons (172,601 tons/ha), with carbon stocks of 26.64 kg C (8.88 kg C/ha) and CO₂ uptake of 9,768.37 kg (3,256.12 kg/ha). Regression analysis shows a very strong and significant relationship between biomass and carbon (r = 0.914; R² = 0.835), with the equation Carbon = 5,044 + 0.914 × Biomass. These results confirm that even though mangrove density is relatively low, the ecosystem in Pasar Pedati Village still has important carbon storage potential, so that mangrove rehabilitation and conservation are necessary to increase their role in climate change mitigation and coastal sustainability.
Keywords:, mangrove, carbon, biomass, climate change, CO₂ absorption.
