Abstract
This research aims to determine the estimation of biomass, carbon stock, density, and CO2 absorption of true Mangrove stands. This is important to know how much the area of the mangrove forest is able to absorb CO2 from the air, so that it can support the area’s sustainable management activities in relation to reducing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method with purposive sampling data collection techniques. Based on the research results obtained 6 types of mangroves namely Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora gymnorhiza, Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicenia marina, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, and Xylocarpus granatum. Based on the calculation using allometric equations, biomass results were 277.945 tons/Ha, estimation of carbon stock was 127.855 tons/Ha, true mangrove stand density was 737 individuals/Ha, and total CO2 absorption of true Mangrove stands was 468.802 tons/Ha.
