<![CDATA[Forests play an important role in climate change mitigation by absorbing and storing CO₂. In addition to living vegetation, litter and necromass also contribute to carbon storage, but are often underestimated. This study aims to analyze biomass, carbon stock, CO₂ sequestration, and the economic valuation of carbon in litter and necromass in Baumata Nature Tourism Park (TWA Baumata), covering an area of 36.21 ha. Data were collected from 45 sample plots using a sampling method. Biomass was calculated using allometric equations, SNI 7724:2011 for deadwood, and the method of Elvina et al. (2018) for litter. Carbon content was assumed to be 47%, while CO₂ sequestration was calculated using a conversion factor of 3.67. The results showed that biomass was 43.20 ton/ha, carbon stock was 20.39 ton/ha, and CO₂ sequestration was 74.83 ton/ha. The economic value of carbon reached IDR 159,327,420 or equivalent to USD 10,323.8, indicating the significant potential of non-living components in climate change mitigation.]]>
