Abstract
Coastal She-Oak (Casuarina equisetifolia L) is a pioneer tree species that forms coastal forests in Bengkulu City and plays an important role in the carbon dynamics cycle. The aim of this study was to calculate the biomass potential and carbon storage in sea pine stands within a conservation area, namely Taman Wisata Alam Pantai Panjang dan Pulau Baai. Data collection was conducted from January 2014 to April 2014 using a non-destructive method. The allometric equation used for sea pine was ln Y = -2.177 + 2.523 × (ln DBH) (Dudley & Fownes, 1992). A total of 20 measurement plots were used, each measuring 20m × 20m and systematically placed. The results showed that the biomass of sea pine stands in this area was 9.3 ± 0.04 tons/ha, with a total biomass of 195.6 ± 0.9 tons. Meanwhile, the carbon storage was 4.3 ± 0.9 tons C/ha, and the carbon dioxide sequestration was 15.7 ± 3.15 tons CO₂/ha. Trees with a diameter above 40 cm had the lowest density, but they stored the largest amount of carbon in this area.
Key words: Casuarina equisetifolia L, biomass, carbon storage
