Evaluating aboveground biomass and carbon stock of Hevea brasiliensis at Kampung Kulim, Lakota, Jeli, Kelantan

One of the most significant commercial crops and a substitute source of biomass resources is the rubber tree. According to the IPCC, one of the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming is CO2. Reducing carbon emissions requires maximizing the evaluation of rubber plantation environmental impacts concerning biomass and carbon dynamics. This study was conducted to evaluating the aboveground biomass and carbon stock using allometric equation. The study area was in Kampung Kulim, Lakota, Jeli, Kelantan in Peninsular Malaysia with total 5 plots and 116 sample trees were measured for 25 x 20 meters in square shape. The diameter at breast height (DBH) measured using diameter tape, while aboveground biomass (AGB) and carbon stock were estimated using allometric equation. The results recorded the highest DBH class which is 10-15 cm (50 trees), the total of AGB and carbon stock is 86.6 Mg/ha and 43.30 Mg C/ha respectively.
