<![CDATA[Mangroves are a type of vegetation that can absorb carbon and have an essential role in controlling CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Mangroves can absorb carbon better than terrestrial ecosystems because of their ability to bury carbon in sediment. This research aims to compare and measure the carbon stock content above the surface of mangroves in the field using multi-spatial resolution imagery, namely, Landsat 8 OLI, Sentinel 2A, and Planetscope. Field carbon calculations were carried out using the allometric method based on mangrove species. The calculation results are then linked through regression analysis with the vegetation index Difference Vegetation Index (DVI) results. The total carbon obtained from PlanetScope imagery was 535.27 tons, Sentinel 2A imagery was 549.23 tons, and Landsat 8 OLI imagery was 533.57 tons. Among the three images used, based on Sentinel 2A statistical analysis reflects the possibility of overfitting or the best with higher r and R2 values in the calculations. However, based on SE accuracy tests, PlanetScope has better accuracy than the other two images. Apart from that, the accuracy test results using a 1:1 goodness of fit plot for each image, the distribution pattern of mangrove carbon stock estimates shows that the entire model in mapping mangrove carbon stocks is over-estimated. The overestimated results are possible because more objects around the mangrove, especially canopy density, are recorded by remote sensing sensors compared to tree diameter as input for field carbon results.]]>
