Abstract

Studies on carbon stock estimation in different land use types in Indonesia have been conducted. This study aims to estimate carbon stocks in various types of land cover in Indonesia, in forest and non-forest land. The results are expected to inform sustainable land management and determine climate change mitigation strategies. Forests have higher carbon stocks compared to non-forest land. The highest carbon stocks were found in mangrove forests with an average of 215.82 ton/ha, followed by primary forests and swamp forests with 205.43 ton/ha and 140.02 ton/ha, respectively. The lowest carbon stocks were found in savanna at 18.92 ton/ha, followed by shrubs and bushes at 26.6 ton/ha, and ex-mining reclamation land at 31.50 ton/ha. The variation in carbon stocks found in various types of land cover can be caused by several factors, including vegetation composition, soil conditions, ecosystem age, climate and environmental conditions, and human activities.
