Abstract

Tunda Island in Serang Regency, Banten Province, hosts a mangrove ecosystem with significant carbon storage potential, yet remains underutilized in climate mitigation efforts. This study aims to estimate the carbon stock of mangrove vegetation, focusing on leaf and branch components using both destructive and non-destructive methods. Samples were collected from six stations using line transect and 10×10 meter plot techniques. The identified mangrove species included Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Avicennia marina, Avicennia officinalis, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. Results showed estimated biomass ranging from 0.001757 to 0.024657 tons/ha, while carbon stock in leaves and branches ranged from 0.01197–0.01791 tons/ha and 0.02559–0.04184 tons/ha, respectively. Variations in carbon stock were influenced by dominant species, vegetation density, tree diameter (DBH), and environmental factors. The relatively low carbon values suggest that the mangrove ecosystem in Tunda Island is still in a developing phase. This highlights the need for sustainable conservation and rehabilitation efforts. The findings serve as a scientific foundation for coastal ecosystem management and blue carbon strategies in mitigating climate change.

Abstract

Mangrove forests thrive under tidal influences and play vital ecological, physical, and economic roles. However, without proper management, they are prone to degradation. In Segarajaya Village, Tarumajaya District, Bekasi Regency, West Java, mangroves face threats from human activities such as land clearing for aquaculture and pollution from plastic and domestic waste. This study, conducted from February 25 to April 20, 2025, used the Mangrove Health Index (MHI) method by assessing canopy cover, density, stem diameter, and environmental factors (salinity, water and air temperature, soil pH, and substrate). The aim was to evaluate mangrove health based on these parameters. Three observation stations were established: Station 1 (Rhizophora apiculata, Avicennia marina, Sonneratia caseolaris), Station 2 (Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Sonneratia caseolaris), and Station 3 (Avicennia marina). The MHI results indicated a moderate health status with an average value of 61.78% (Station 1: 62.69%, Station 2: 61.63%, Station 3: 61.02%). Environmental conditions averaged 30.44‰ salinity, 27.94°C water temperature, 30.89°C air temperature, soil pH 7.33, and sandy clay to muddy substrates. The study provides baseline data for mangrove management and conservation efforts.
