“…The diameter of the tree greatly affects the size of the carbon potential in the stand. According to the research [15], through photosynthesis, carbon is more bound and relatively high in the tree trunk. Differences in carbon stocks found in mangrove stands in various ecosystems may not only be caused by differences in stand structure but may also be caused by climatic factors and habitat characteristics [16].…”

“…This type has more significant growth than the type of Rhizophora because the type of Avicennia absorbs more minerals contained in seawater. However, compared to the Avicennia type, the Rhizophora type has strong roots, so it serves as a shoreline stabilizer to protect coastal areas from strong sediments, abrasion, and seawater waves [15]. This is what causes a lot of damage to the vegetation of Avicennia marina.…”

“…Biomass estimation is carried out by calculating the dimension measurement of tree trunk diameter (DBH), which is then calculated by an allometric equation formula [19]. Many studies have been conducted to determine allometric equations for estimating the biomass value of mangrove tree trunks, and this equation model is considered part of an environmentally friendly method because it does not require damaging or removing mangrove trees [15,19]. Estimating biomass with allometric models can facilitate adjusting to regional geographical conditions in mangrove ecosystem management [16].…”

One form of mangrove ecosystem service is carbon sequestration. The issue of carbon is an important concern for the climate change response. The purpose of this study is to determine the comparison of stand carbon stock estimates in mangrove ecosystems on the coast of East Lampung Regency (Kuala Penet Resort Mangrove Forest, Lampung Mangrove Center (LMC) Mangrove Forest, and Register 15 Mangrove Forest). The stages of research include: determination of data collection based on purposive sampling and Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) techniques; stand biomass and carbon calculations using allometric equations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); descriptive data analysis; and a literature study. Based on the results of the study, the highest stand carbon was in LMC (144.56 tons per ha), and the lowest was in Kuala Penet Resort (19.19 tons/ha). These conditions are influenced by stand structure factors (growing conditions, tree age, and microclimate conditions) and management schemes. The partnership is a form of stakeholder commitment as a way to maintain mangrove ecosystem services. Thus, carbon stands in coastal mangrove ecosystems of East Lampung Regency, namely Kuala Penet Resort (19.19 tons/ha), Register 15 (9.66 tons/ha), and LMC (144.56 tons/ha).

“…The ability of mangrove ecosystem to sequestrate carbon could be known by above ground biomass estimation of some trees by an allometric model (Sutaryo 2009;Wijeyaratne and Liyanage 2020). Some recent research has been establishing allometric models of several mangrove species i.e Sonneratia spp.…”

This study aimed to establish an allometric model for estimation of aboveground biomass, and carbon sequestration in A. lanata mangrove forest growing in Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Research methods were done by transect and 5 quadrats with size of 100 m2 each. A total of thirteen individual trees with different sizes were harvested. While DBH and D30 were measured. The samples were separated into stems, branches, and leaves and then weighted. The sample from each fresh organs were taken and brought to the Laboratory and then oven dried at 80°C for 7 days. The allometric equations were established by using independent variables (DBH and D30), and dependent variables (Ws, Wb, Wl). The partial and overall aboveground biomasses were calculated from allometric model, while carbon stock and CO2 sequestration were estimated. The results showed that the independent variable of DBH was more applicable for estimation of Ws, Wb, Wl, and total biomasses (Mg ha-1) of A. lanata forest, which were estimated as 28.28±3.48, 6.40±0.79, 5.00±0.66, and 40.08±4.97 respectively. The carbon stock in stems (13.24±1.63 Mg ha-1) was higher than in branches (3.01±0.37 Mg C ha-1) as well as in leaves (2.35±0.31 Mg C ha-1). The total of carbon stock were estimated at about 18.83±2.33 Mg C ha-1. Meanwhile, the total of CO2 absorption by A. lanata mangrove was 43.95±5.45 Mg CO2 ha-1. Therefore a regenerated A. lanata mangrove in this in-active pond area had potentiality on carbon stock and sequestrations, although these vegetation condition was still in the growth stage.

Climate change and its various impacts, including extreme weather events, have recently been recognized as urgent threats to the ecosystems. The Blue Economy, as defined by the World Bank, involves the use of ocean resources to promote sustainable economic propriety, livelihood improvement and job creation while ensuring health of ocean ecosystems. Notably, investing in blue carbon, which encompasses ecosystems like mangroves, tidal and salt marshes, seagrasses can serve as a powerful tool in combatting climate change. Investing in innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions and funding initiatives to create and expand carbon sinks worldwide are essential components of this endeavour. While technological innovations are a focus, nature-based solutions, particularly the preservation and reclamation of blue carbon ecosystems, can offer an expedient, sustainable and less expensive approach. This research article aims to establish the significance of investing in blue carbon initiatives. In this line, this study proposes that implementing blue carbon initiatives under the voluntary carbon markets would be a key strategy towards achieving the net-zero pathway.
