CARBON STOCK IN TREE BIOMASS IN FOREST- AGRICULTURAL LAND USE IN WEST JAVA (CASE STUDY: CIJENDIL VILLAGE, CIANJUR)

Asni Ibrahim, Agung Hasan Lukman

Abstract

The study was attempted to reveal the biomass carbon (C) stock in forest-agricultural land use in West Java agricultural landscape. We scoped on agroforestry as agricultural land use and identified three main types of agroforestry in the study site: bamboo talon, mixed-tree talun and albizia {Albania falcataria (L.)) talun. For this study purpose, a survey method was used. Carbon stock measurement was done by using RaCSA (Rapid Carbon Stock Appraisal) method. In this measurement, we used two different approach to acquire biomass C stock data: sampling approach in the forest and census approach in agroforestry. The result showed that the average biomass C stock in natural forest was higher than in agroforestry. The natural forest stored biomass C stock around 97.30 MgC/ha while bamboo /ofun, mixed-tree talun and albizia talun [Albania falcataria (L.)) approximately stored 50.01 Mg C/ha, 38.57 Mg C/ha, 17.39 Mg C/ha respectively. However, comparing with other similar studies, the average of biomass C stock in both of natural forest and agroforestry land was categorized in a medium and small range.

Keywords
