dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study is to create an appropriate methodology and methods of forest carbon stock estimtion for various forest types in Indonesia. In the first year, the study was focused on the engineering and application of the methodology and methods for carbon stock estimtion in the community forest of falcata (Paraserianthes falcataria L Nielsen) of Jalagajaya Village, Jasinga Subdistrict, Bogor District, West Java, Indonesia. The methodology and methods were based on field surveys of the forest and an equation model of tree biomass carbon. It was found that carbon content within different parts of tree biomass was different, and model equation of tree carbon mass estimtion for falcata was C = 0.7 D1.48 , with R2 adj. = 95.7. Carbon rnass of falcata estimated by the use of current equation model was found lower than that of Brown's (1997). However it was higher than that of Ketterings et al. (2001). Based on current equation model, carbon stocks of the falcata in the community forest of Julagajaya village were estimted as high as 29.262 todha, 33.555 todha, 36.041 todha, 39.163 tonlha, 33.163 t d h a , and 56.943 tonha, respectively for the 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 year old stands. The implementation of the methodology and methods to the community forest of falcata has demonstrated it's applicability to assess the forest carbon mass stock in the forest. | en |
