Abstract

Mangrove forests provide economic, social, environmental benefits such as fish nursery, timber production, water filtration, recreation, education and carbon sequestration. Mangroves are important sinks of organic carbon (C) and there is significant interest in their use for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Adverse impacts on organic carbon storage potential from future climate change and deforestation would devalue such ambitions, thus global projections of future change remains a priority research area. Different place has a different amount of carbon stock. This studi was to estimates the carbon stock of mangrove of Sangkulirang District, East Kutai, East Borneo. The parameter were the mangrove sediment organic carbon, above ground biomaas, under ground biomass and Necromass. This research used mangrove carbon estimation method of Indonesian National Standard SNI_7724-2011. From the study research found that the total average carbon in mangrove of Sangkulirang District is 1386,87 ton C ha-1.
