Analysis of biomass estimation and carbon stock on puspa (schimma wallichii korth.) in Talaga Bodas Nature Reserve Garut

Abstract

This study aimed to find out the estimation of Biomass and Carbon Stock on Puspa (Schimma wallichii Korth.) inTalagaBodas Nature Reserve Garut. The uses of this study were to give information about the estimation of Biomass and Carbon Stock on Puspa Stands in Talaga Bodas Nature Reserve Garut and become a consideration in supporting the implementation of carbon trading and its effects on global warming. Descriptive quantitative was used as a method in this study with systematic sampling with a random startas a sampling technique. The making of the plot line using the line plots method that was to make a stub line 100 meters in length and on the stub line a plot of 20 x20 meters, was made in 3 replications. Related to research on estimating biomass in Puspa stands using allometric equations obtained results of 105.741tons/Ha. Carbon estimation using carbon fraction formula yielded 49,7658ton/Ha. The results of the calculation of the Puspa stand density Using the density formula (number of Puspa/area) obtained a result of 328 Puspa/Ha.
