ANALISIS CADANGAN KARBON PADA DUKUH DI DESA SUNGAI ALANG KECAMATAN KARANG INTAN

The dynamics of mixed garden land cover are often influenced by pressures from human activities, such as land expansion for monoculture farming, large – scale plantations, or settlements, which lead to the loss of the forest's ability to absorb carbon, thereby directly impacting global climate change. One of the ways to mitigate climate change and global warming is by preserving the ecological functions of absorbing and storing carbon, which can be achieved through maintaining and protecting forest vegetation from damage. This study aims to analyze the estimated carbon stock in the soil surface within Dukuh, Sungai Alang Village, Karang Intan District, Banjar Regency. Data collection was conducted at the sapling, pole, tree, and necromass growth levels using a non-destructive method. Sampling of understory vegetation and litter was carried out using a destructive method, followed by oven-drying in the laboratory. The results of this study indicate that the estimated total biomass aboveground is 1,477.072 tons/ha, with an estimated total carbon stock aboveground of 694.220 tons/ha. The pole level has an estimated total biomass of 123.051 tons/ha and a carbon stock of 57.834 tons/ha. The tree level has an estimated total biomass of 1,353.465 tons/ha and a carbon stock of 636.130 tons/ha. The litter layer has an estimated total biomass of 0.350 tons/ha and a carbon stock of 0.160 tons/ha. The understory vegetation has an estimated total biomass of 0.176 tons/ha and a carbon stock of 0.082 tons/ha. Deadwood has an estimated total biomass of 0.030 tons/ha and a carbon stock of 0.014 tons/ha
