Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in nature are increasing along with the development of human civilization. Mangrove forests can absorb and store carbon in large quantities and a long time so that it can become a strategy in mitigating climate change. This study aims to determine the Carbon Absorption Value of Above Surface Bruguiera gymnorrhiza in the Dulupi Coastal Mangrove Area, Boalemo Regency. This research is a quantitative descriptive study by measuring the density of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove vegetation using the distance method (Point-Centered-Quarter-Method). The density value of the mangrove species Bruguiera gymnorrhiza found in the coastal area of ​​Dulupi Village, Boalemo Regency is 12.49 trees/ha with an average distance of 11,231 m/tree. The calculation results of the total stem biomass value obtained from the sum of each individual Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove biomass obtained a value of 12,251.37 Kg. The carbon absorption content in the leaves of the mangrove species Bruguiera gymnorrhiza in the coastal area of ​​Dulupi Village, Boalemo Regency, from all sample trees was 449.26 kg C/cm2 with an average carbon content of each sample tree's leaves of 17.97 kg C/cm2. So that the total carbon absorption potential of the stems and leaves of the Brugueira gymnorrizha mangrove species is 12,700.63 kg C/cm2.
