“…In tropical forests, 67% of the ecosystem C (C in vegetation and in soil) resides in vegetation and 33% in soil (Ngo et al, 2013). However, the potentiality of such ecosystems to store C in vegetation and soil is influenced by the vegetative cover, climate, species, management practices, and human interventions (Dung, Tue, Nhuan, & Omori, 2016;Ngo et al, 2013). The LUC from primary to secondary forests decreases both vegetation and soil C stocks (Ngo et al, 2013;Ogle, Breidt, & Paustian, 2005) and degrades soil properties (Abera & Wolde-Meskel, 2013;Saha, Kukul, & Sharma, 2011).…”

This study evaluated the ecosystem carbon (C) stock and sequestration potential for predominant land uses converted from forest in Northeast India to advance the scientific knowledge and minimize the anthropogenic C emissions from land use change (LUC). Field assessments were conducted on 6 predominant land uses including (a) natural forest (NF), (b) degraded forest (DF), (c) rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation (RP), (d) Areca (Areca catechu) plantation (ArP), (e) pan (Piper betle) jhum (slash and mulching) agroforestry (PB), and (f) Imperata grassland (IG) of Northeast India to assess changes in ecosystem C stock with progressive and retrogressive LUC. Ecosystem C stock was the highest for NF (300.5 Mg ha À1) and the lowest under IG (110.4 Mg ha À1 ). The ecosystem C stock under PB and IG was 11% and 63%, respectively, lower than that under NF. In comparison with DF, the gain in ecosystem C was in the order PB (125%) > RP (99%) > ArP (4%). The ratio of soil organic carbon to ecosystem C stock was~50% for NF, PB, and RP and that shifted to~80% for ArP/DF/IG. The LUC and management of DF through PB and RP indicated the ecosystem C sequestration rate of 5 and 4 Mg ha À1 year À1, respectively. Similarly, the ecosystem C sequestration rate was 0.5 and 4 Mg ha À1 year À1 , respectively, when IG was converted into ArP and RP. Therefore, restoration of degraded lands (viz., DF and IG) through RP and PB enhanced ecosystem C sequestration rate and reduced CO 2 emissions from LUC.

“…Kokkaddicholai may have experienced a major loss in C stored in biomass from mangrove plants and soil C due to the land conversion. Other studies in Vietnam further concluded that mangrove restoration programs, mangrove regeneration after typhoons, and forest maturity contribute considerably to increased ecosystem C storage in both above‐ and below‐ground C stocks, which further showcase the potential for further storage if the mangroves were not converted to other land uses, but restored and conserved (Dung et al ., ; Pham et al ., ). A study on mangrove stands in western Sri Lanka estimated the mangroves’ capacity to sequester the same amount of CO 2 emitted from combusting 19 356.63 L of diesel or 22 211.79 L of gasoline in motor vehicles (Perera & Amarasinghe, ).…”

This article presents a carbon stock assessment to illustrate the organic carbon distribution and storage within mangrove ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The living tree biomass and soil carbon pools were investigated in three sites with varying degree of human disturbance in Batticaloa Lagoon. Soil carbon content was derived by the Walkley Black method from soil samples and mangrove trees were measured for calculations in general allometric equations. The mangroves that were extremely converted into a shrimp farm in Kokkaddicholai recorded a carbon (C) stock of 100.9 kg m‐2. Dominated by the poisonous Excoecaria agallocha stands, the regenerating mangroves in Manmunai Bridge Island hosted the largest C stock measuring 786.4 kg C m‐2. The Kannankudah site—dominated by Avicennia marina, Lumnitzera racemosa and Excoecaria agallocha stands, recorded a C stock of 593.1 kg C m‐2. Cuts and stumps indicated wood harvesting for local livelihoods. The soil C content pool contributed most significantly to the total C stock, with the top 30 cm containing the largest C concentration in all soil profiles. The soil carbon content was highest (5.1 per cent) in Kannankudah, second highest (3.6 per cent) in the disturbed but regenerating forest at Manmunai Bridge Island, and the lowest (0.3 per cent) at the converted site of Kokkaddicholai.

“…Pada musim timur pada bulan Mei-September, arus permukaan ke arah barat (BAPPEDA, 2006), sehingga hutan mangrove menjadi penyumbang karbon organik yang penting di daerah estuarin (Stieglitz et al, 2013). Luasnya hamparan mangrove menyebabkan perairan tersebut menjadi penyimpan karbon organik yang sangat penting (Breithaupt et al, 2012;Dung et al, 2016), disamping tambahan limbah dari banyaknya turis yang berkunjung di wisata mangrove tersebut yang akhirnya berpengaruh pada kualitas perairannya. Bahkan menurut Donato et al, (2011) menyatakan bahwa pertumbuhan biomass mangrove di negara-negara Asia Tenggara dua sampai lima kali lebih besar dibanding dengan negara-negara di Amerika latin.…”

Aktivitas Cesium (137Cs) Di Perairan Hutan Mangrove Karangsong, Kabupaten Indramayu

et al. 2019

The mangrove forest in Karangsong-Indramayu has been selected as a central mangrove forest for western Indonesia, in addition to a marine ecotourism destination. This condition with more visitors stimulates increase in organic carbon content in this water, which has the ability to bind to polluting elements, such as heavy metals and radionuclides. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors that effect 137Cs levels activities in Karangsong waters of Indramayu. To understand which factors effect 137Cs levels, we collected water quality which has the ability to bind to polluting elements data including temperature, salinity, DO, pH, depth and current speed. The result showed that the 137Cs activities ranged 0.07-1.01 mBq/L with an average of 0.589 mBq/L. This value is higher than 137Cs activities in ITF (Indonesian Through Flow) which had value 0.274 mBq/L. The higher 137Cs activities in Karangsong waters were caused by the presence of mangrove forest that effect the high levels of organic carbon rather than water quality that show relative homogeny in all stations.Perairan pantai Karangsong, Kabupaten Indramayu telah dijadikan sebagai pusat mangrove di bagian barat Indonesia, disamping sebagai eko wisata bahari. Kondisi tersebut tentunya akan meningkatkan kandungan karbon organik di perairan tersebut yang mempunyai kemampuan kuat untuk mengikat unsur-unsur pencemar seperti logam berat dan radionuklida. Tujuan penelitian ini ingin mengetahui tingkat aktivitas 137Cs di perairan Karangsong, Indramayu. Untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat aktivitas 137Cs di perairan Karangsong, maka dianalisa beberapa parameter kualitas air seperti suhu, salinitas, DO, pH, kedalaman dan kecepatan arus. Hasil analisa menunjukkan aktivitas 137Cs adalah 0,07-1,01 mBq/L, dengan nilai rata-rata 0,589 mBq/L. Nilai tersebut lebih tinggi dari nilai 137Cs di ARLINDO (Arus Lintas Indonesia) yang nilai rata-ratanya 0,274 mBq/L. Tingginya aktivitas 137Cs tersebut lebih dipengaruhi dari adanya hutan mangrove yang menyebabkan tingginya bahan karbon organik dari pada pengaruh kualitas perairan yang relatif seragam.
