Abstract The purpose of the study was to determine the species vegetation and carbon stock assessment derived from abandoned aquaculture ponds. Analysis of plant (tree, sapling, and seedling) was performed at Pulau Sembilan, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The stage of the seedlings, saplings, and trees was analyzed from four transects. Each transect contained 100 m in length. Each estimated plot of a total of four transects comprised of 30 plots. The abandoned pond was dominated by Rhizophora apiculata and Bruguiera parviflora, the lowest on the species of Morinda citrifolia and Rhizophora mucronata. The diversity index of Shannon-Weiner was 1.44-1.72. The total biomass in the pond was 4,557.43 k/ha with a carbon potential of 2.10 tons/ha.

It is documented that the amounts of carbon stored and its level of degradation in different forests compositions and different types of forest is mostly unknown, Philippines is no exemption as little was done in some places of this country. This study was conducted to assess carbon stock through above ground biomass of trees at different forest composition in Mt. Malindawag. There were three (3) 20m x 20m sample plots (quadrats) (400m2 equivalent to 0.04 ha) established as replicate plots provided with 50m intervals. Forest composition such as the Agroforestry area, mixed forest area and the Plantation forest were assessed in terms of the number of individuals, number of species, diameter, and height to calculate the biomass, tree biomass density as well as the carbon stock. Based on the results of the study conducted in different forest compositions of Mt. Malindawag, plantation forest has the highest carbon stocking rate. However, these results were not significantly different from the other forest composition. This was associated with a higher accumulated diameter, which resulted in higher biomass and eventually carbon stock. Species found in this forest composition are productive and have lesser number of individuals; therefore, there is lesser competition for resources such as light. Such a mechanism might contribute to the higher biomass and carbon stock. However, the result may not be right to other areas due to uncontrollable factors, anthropogenic and environmental factors. Hence, it is recommended to have further studies on areas where trees have similar age, species diversity index as well as stand development and site productivity for a more accurate and quantifiable carbon stock.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that could increase earth temperature. Through the photosynthesis process, plants absorb CO2 then convert it into carbohydrates, then sequester it in the body of plants. The purpose of the study is to estimate the changes in the carbon stock at the Arboretum University of Lampung. The methods used were stock difference by counting the carbon changes or difference between carbon stored in 2010 and 2016. While the stand biomass estimation measured by trees general allometric equations with non-destructive sampling. The results showed that the total carbon was 46% of the total biomass. Carbon stock in 2016 were about 226.75 ton/ha, showing an increase of 59.72% or 84.78 ton/ha compared to in 2010’s. The increase was due to additional growth of 804 trees as a result of plantation activity and natural regeneration. Keywords: Arboretum, biomass, carbon, necromass, University of Lampung.

ABSTRACTMangroves are one of the most important natural resources in coastal areas. Availability of various types of food that are on ecosystems is already making its presence as a local nursery, where searching for eating and also serve as a regional tourist ecosystem of mangrove. In use as Regional tourist mangrove need to attention the condition of the physical environment and the distribution pattern of zoning. Research is carried out in the month October to November 2019 in the village of Juanga Regency island of Morotai. Data zoning mangrove using the method of the combination is to combine the methods of plots to track transects, to determine the four stations of observation of each respective stations and each station is divided into three zones: zone front, zone of middle and zone back starting from the point of the outermost growth of types of mangrove constituent primary to the point of transition between sea and land. The research results of the study found 5 types of mangroves namely Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops decandra, Rhizophora apiculata, Xylocarpus granatum and Sonneratia alba. The distribution of zoning patterns in the front zones of station I and the middle zone is dominated by Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora apiculata types, the rear zone is dominated by Ceriops decandra. Station II front zone is dominated by Sonneratia alba, middle zone (Rhizophora mucronata), rear zone (Ceriops decandra). At station III the front zone (Rhizophora apiculata), the middle zone and the rear zone (Ceriops decandra) while at station IV the front zone, the middle zone and the rear zone are dominated by the Ceriops decandra type.

Arca zebra, constitutes one of the fishing resources with the greatest economic impact in northeastern Venezuela, since it forms banks of commercial importance. During a period of nine months (May 2010-August2011) the community structure of the organisms from the trawling fishery carried out by the fishermen of the area was identified, quantified and described. The biomass and abundance of the different groups were estimated to perform Abundance-Biomass Comparison Curves (ABC) with the objective of determining the degree of affectation by the trawling activity. A total of3 249 organisms belonging to 130 species were grouped in five Phyla: Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Chordata. The Sanders' diversity index was 122.9 with mollusks (70.87) and polychaetes (29.91) as the most diverse taxa. Mollusks had the highest abundance followed by polychaetes, crustaceans, echinoderms and ascidians. Mollusks and echinoderms made the largest contribution to total biomass. The most frequent species were: Mithraculus forceps, Phallucia nigra, Echinometra lucunter, Eunice rubra and Pinctada imbricata. The microgastropods Triphora melanura is recognized as a new record for the area and the polychaete Oenone fulgida, for Venezuela. The ABC curve showed that total abundance of organisms was above total biomass, suggesting that the fishery of Arca zebra has a negative effect on most groups of organisms, mainly on echinoderms, since many of them suffer strong physical damage at the time of extraction, therefore, there is a need to modify the trawl nets, increasing the mesh opening, butwithout endangering the economic viability of the fishery.

Carbon dioxide has gained lot of attention in recent past as a greenhouse gas, and therefore it has a potential to affect the climate pattern of the world. Several anthropogenic activities are known to be responsible for the increased level of carbon in the atmosphere and disruption of the global carbon cycle. However, nature has its own mechanism of sequestering and storing the carbon in its “reservoirs”. Forest has the ability to sequester carbon in their biomass and reduce the rate of increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The carbon sequestered in the forest trees are mostly referred to as the biomass of a tree or a forest. It has been identified five carbon pools of the terrestrial ecosystem, involving biomass. The study was designed to estimate biomass stock and then the carbon stock of the Udawattakele Forest Reserve (7°17'58 "N, 80°38'20’’E) in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Allometric equations were used to calculate biomass of trees. The total biomass stock was estimated to be 9475.56 t ha-1 (Mega gram-Mg) and the total carbon stock was estimated to be 4,453.55 t ha-1 (Mg) in the Udawattakele Forest Reserve (UFR). This amount is equivalent to 16,344.52 Mg of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. UFR holds a moderate amount of biomass/carbon stock and the total carbon density of natural forest and plantations was found to be 36.55 Mg ha-1 and 44.89 Mg ha-1 respectively.

Climate change is one of the impending problems that have affected the productivity of agroecosystems which calls for urgent action. Carbon sequestration through agroforestry along altitude in mountainous regions is one of the options to contribute to global climate change mitigation. Three altitudes viz. lower (286-1200m), middle (1200-2000m), and upper (2000-2800m) have been selected in Tehri district. Ten Quadrates (10m × 10 m) were randomly selected from each altitude in agrisilviculture system. At every sampling point, one composite soil sample was taken at 30 cm soil depth for soil organic carbon analysis. For the purpose of woody biomass, Non destructive method and for crop biomass assessment destructive method was employed. Finally, aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass carbon (BGB), Total tree Biomass (TTB), Crop biomass (CB), Total Biomass (TB), Total biomass carbon (TBC), soil organic carbon (SOC), and total carbon stock (TC) status were estimated and variables were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).The result indicated that AGB, BGB, TTB, CB , TB, TBC, SOC, and TC varied significantly (p < 0.05) across the altitudes. Results showed that total carbon stock followed the order upper altitude ˃ middle altitudes ˃ lower altitude. The upper altitude (2000-2800 m) AGB, BGB,TTB, TBC,SOC, and TC stock was estimated as 2.11 Mg ha-1 , 0.52 Mg ha-1, 2.63 Mg ha-1, 2.633 Mg ha-1, 1.18 Mg ha-1 , 26.53 Mg ha-1, 38.48 Mg ha-1 respectively, and significantly higher than the other altitudes. It was concluded that agrisilviculture system hold a high potential for carbon storage at temperate zones. Quercus lucotrichophora, Grewia oppositifolia and Melia azadirach contributed maximum carbon storage which may greatly contribute to the climate resilient green economy strategy and their conservation should be promoted.

Kawasan hutan mangrove di Jawa Timur terdapat di sepanjang pantai utara mulai Kabupaten Tuban sampai dengan Kabupaten Situbondo seluas sekitar 19.916 hektar (Perum Perhutani, 1994). Keberadaan hutan mangrove tersebut kini semakin memprihatinkan, dimana penyusutan hutan mangrove di Kabupaten Probolinggo mencapai 580 hektar pada tahun 2001 (Kompas, 2001), dan 229,5 hektar di Kabupaten Situbondo (Pemerintah Kabupaten Situbondo, 2005). Dengan laju penurunan hutan mangrove yang demikian cepat, maka diperkirakan hutan mangrove akan lenyap pada tahun 2010 (Ramono, 2003). Kegiatan rehabilitasi hutan mangrove yang dilaksanakan sampai saat ini hanya terbatas pada penanaman pohon-pohon mangrove yang rusak karena penebangan, padahal keberhasilan upaya rehabilitasi juga sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi lahan, jenis mangrove, dan tata cara penanaman. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada 3 (tiga) lokasi di pantai utara Jawa Timur bagian timur menunjukkan bahwa, tanah-tanah didominasi oleh fraksi pasir (13,80-94,92 %), pH asam (8,06-8,94), tingkat salinitas tinggi (0,2302-2,4843 %), kapasitas tukar kation rendah (7,8837-27,2901 me/100g), dan kandungan bahan organik rendah (0,1851-2,4675 %). Sehingga jenis mangrove yang dapat direkomendasikan untuk ditanam di Kabupaten Probolinggo pada zona paling dekat dengan darat (belakang) adalah Ceriops decandra, dan Ceriops tagal, pada zona tengah antara lain Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, dan Xylocarpus mollucensis, pada zona paling dekat dengan laut (depan) adalah Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, dan Rhizophora stylosa.
