Abstract

According to CO2 emission mitigation through REDD scheme, valuing of carbon (C) storage for landscape conversion from forest to coffee in Gayo plateau is important to assess. Vegetation analyses and allometry equation were used to estimate C stock of forest and several ages of coffee plantations and natural forests at Gayo plateau, Aceh. Primary forests contained aboveground C stock higher than secondary forests and coffee plantation both mono-and-poly-culture of shading-tree. The highest value of aboveground C stock was found at tropical broadleaf forests (213.05 ton C/ha or 781.91 ton CO2e/ha), followed by primary pine forests (160.54 ton C/ha, 589.18 ton CO2e/ha) and secondary broad leaf forests (104.82 ton C/ha, 384.70 ton CO2e/ha). Coffee plantations with a poly-culture of shading-tree system have good ability to conserve carbon. The highest value of aboveground C stock of coffee plantation was 70.97 ton C/ha or 260.47 ton CO2e/ha. The result suggests that to increase C stock of coffee plantation, the selection of shading-tree species is one of important key. The shading-tree of Persea americana, Artocarpus heterophyllus and Citrus sp. have good ability in carbon fixation, while the species also could produce commercial fruits besides coffee bean production.
