ABSTRACTThis research aims to estimate the biomass, carbon storage, carbon dioxide uptake andoxygen produced by sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen) stand aged 9, 11and 13 years in IUPHHK-HTI PT Parwata Rimba, Central Kalimantan. Estimated ofbiomass, carbon stock, CO2 uptake and Oxygen produced using allometric equations.The results showed that the storage of sengon standing biomass aged 9,11 and 13 yearsranged from 110.71 to 200.94 tons/ha, carbon stock ranged from 52.03 to 94.44 tons C/ha, CO2 uptake ranged from 190.79 to 259.13 tons CO2/ha and Oxygen produced around138.75 to 251.84 tons O2/ha. The total of biomass, carbon stock, CO2 uptake and Oxygenproduced by sengon stands at forest plantations are large enough to have an importantrole in global climate change mitigation in the forestry sector.Keywords: biomassa, climate change, forest plantation, karbon, sengon

Abstract BackgroundForests are known to play an important role in regulating the global climate. Therefore, it serves as natural sink of CO2 to mitigate climate change. Churches and monasteries have a long history of planting, protecting and conserving of trees. This study was conducted on selected church forests, with the objectives of estimating of the carbon stock and its variation along the altitudinal gradients. In light of this, primary data collection was done by field inventory and secondary data was collected from different sources. In order to collect vegetation data particularly above ground biomass (AGB), a total of 64 plots each with the size of 20 m x 20 m at an interval of 100 m, were laid along the established transects at 200 m apart. For litter and soil sample collection, five sub-quadrants 1 m x 1 m were established at four corners and center of every quadrant. Composite method was also used for litter and soil sampling. Data analysis of various carbon pools measured in the forests were analyzed on the excel data sheet and R software. ResultResults revealed that the total mean carbon stock density of church forests was 133.14 t/ha with aboveground biomass carbon of 24.73 t/ha and belowground biomass carbon 6.41t/ha, litter biomass carbon of 1.80 t/ha and soil carbon stock 100.19 t/ha.ConclusionThe result of this study showed that altitude has no significant impact on carbon pools. Overall, this study may increase knowledge on the study site and show contributing of church forests for climate change mitigation.

This paper compares the effects of a global carbon tax and a global emissions trading regime on India using a dynamic CGE framework. The sensitivity of the results to the value of a crucial elasticity parameter is also analysed. The results suggest that the choice of the mitigation policy is relatively unimportant from an efficiency perspective. However, the choice of the mitigation policy and the value of the substitution elasticity between value added and energy were found to be important determinants of welfare effects. Global climate change mitigation policies have the potential for promoting low carbon and inclusive growth in India.
