dc.description.abstract | Forest has an important role in controlling global warming. Forest absorbs
CO2 and stores it as plant biomass through the process of photosynthesis. The
purpose of this research is to calculate biomass and carbon storage potential of
acacia and puspa mixed stand at KHDTK Haurbentes, Bogor. The research was
conducted by making sample plots measuring 20 x 20 meters. The measurement of
the biomass of saplings, poles, and trees was carried out using a non-destructive
method, while the measurement of the biomass of litter and understorey using a
destructive method. The analysis of litter and understorey samples to obtain the dry
weight of the kiln and stored carbon is carry out at Pengaruh Hutan Laboratory,
Faculty of Forestry and Enviroment, IPB. The result of this research showed that
potential for biomass and carbon storage of acacia and puspa mixed stand at
KHDTK Haurbentes are 31.70 ton/ha and 15.62 ton/ha. The estimation of carbon
storage was directly proportional to biomass potential. | id |
