Abstract
This study aims to determine the ability of mangrove forests to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Tampo Village, Napabalano District, Muna Regency. This research will be carried out in September 2022 at the Tampo Village, Napabalano District, Muna Regency. The sampling in this study used purposive sampling method, the determination of sampling was selected systematically with an intensity of 0.5%. Placement of measuring plots is based on mangrove forest zoning which is made of 8 (eight) plots, where each plot is 10 m x 10 m (100 m2). The variables in this study were the diameter at breast height of an adult to determine biomass and carbon above ground (above ground) without cutting down trees (non-destructive). Biomass is determined by the Allometric equation. The carbon is determined by ½ of the biomass. The results showed that the estimation of CO2 absorption in mangrove forests in Tampo Village, Napabalano District, Muna Regency had an average CO2 absorption of 56.58 ton.ha-1. The carbon value is influenced by environmental conditions, the type of wood mass, the diameter of the mangrove stems and the number of species present in a plot.
