BIOMASSA AND ACCUMULATION CARBON ON SEAGRASS Enhalus acroides IN GUNUNG BOTAK BAY COASTAL, WEST PAPUA

Abstract

Seagrass is a high level and a flowering plant that is fully adapted to life in the coastal and has ability to store carbon by 10% of the carbon content in the oceans. The research doing at Gunung Botak Bay Coastal South Manokwari Regency with objective of research to estimate seagrass density and to estimate rate accumulation of carbon from Enhalus acroides. Some the stages of the research done is density sample as long to period 2015 (April and Mei) into (September and Ocktober). Other sampling to collecting seagrass to estimate carbon storage in part like daun, rhizome root and substrat. Result to showing average carbon accumulation of seagrass in above below ground is rhizome part and higher in Statiun1 (13.16±3.8),stasiun 3 (5.4±2.9) dan stasiun 5 (6.2±1.1) or the generally accumulation carbon in the three is 8.24 kg from Enhalus acroides. Future more, accumulation carbon in sediment as a 1664,2 in dept 0-20 cm and 20-60 cm. Seagrass carbon storage capabilities will assist in mitigation efforts to reduce the impact of climate change in Indonesia, especially in West Papua.

Seagrass Cholorophyll-a, Biomass and Carbon Algorithms Based on the Field and Sentinel-2A Satellite Data at Karimunjawa Island, Indonesia

“…This resulted in predicting biomass of Cymodocea serrulata and Syringodium isoetifolium with a predicted error of about 3g.dryweight.m −2 (Lyons et al, 2015) . Runtuboi et al, 2018 mention that seagrass biomass will a ect the carbon stock.…”

“…Penyebab utama perubahan iklim adalah meningkatnya aktifitas manusia yang dimulai sejak revolusi industri. Dimana CO2 dihasilkan dari proses pembakaran bahan bakar fosil seperti minyak bumi, batubara dan gas, selain itu CO2 juga dihasilkan dari kegiatan penebangan hutan (deforestasi) (Runtuboi et al, 2018). Menurut Susandi (2010) Perubahan temperatur global sangat mungkin memberikan pengaruh pada pola presipitasi dan evapotranspirasi pada pulau-pulau di wilayah tropis (Watts, 1997), yang mengakibatkan perubahan-perubahan pada segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan hidrologi (Ashofteh, et al, 2016).…”

Diversity, carbon stock and associated biota of seagrass beds in Central Tapanuli District, North Sumatra, Indonesia

“…In the context of marine realm, there is an initiative so called blue carbon which was released in 2009 as the collaboration between the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Blue carbon is carbon stored in marine ecosystems, namely mangrove ecosystems (Tebaiy et al 2014), seagrass ecosystems (Budiarto et al 2021), algae ecosystems (Runtuboi et al 2018) and saltmarshes. The blue carbon concept highlights the ability of these marine ecosystems in reducing carbon emissions and storing carbon as important as terrestrial ecosystems such as tropical rain forests (Harimbi et al 2019).…”

“…Seagrass is a higher plant group and flowering Angiosperms that fully adapt to living in shallow waters (Runtuboi et al 2018). As a higher plant group, seagrasses produce their food through photosynthesis (autotrophs).…”

“…A variety of species and individuals of seagrass might form a vegetation community which is often called seagrass beds or seagrass meadows. Seagrass beds have immense ecological functions, from the habitat of marine biota, prevent coastal erosion and abrasion, to absorb and store carbon and recognized as an important component of blue carbon storage (Runtuboi et al 2018). Seagrass ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon (Hertyastuti et al 2020) because it is supported by substrates that are saturated with water and seagrass's ability to capture sediment.…”
