Abstract

Forest plantations are not only for harvesting wood products; however they could play an important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration and fixation. This research aimed to create the allometry equation for estimating aboveground biomass and carbon of planted Eucalyptus grandis forest in Toba Plateau with harvesting method. The research showed that the biomass and carbon stock of planted E. grandis increased following logarithmic model. The best allometry equations for aboveground biomass and carbon stock of planted E. grandis were WAG = 0.0678D2.5794 (R2 98.8%) and CAG = 0.0266D2.6470 (R2 98.0%), respectively. Therefore, the above ground biomass and carbon storage of planted E. grandis could be estimated only by measuring tree diameter (D) in the field that it is very beneficial both time and cost in estimating the carbon storage in the plantation forests.
