We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Estimation of Carbon Stock Changes in the Kalikonto sub-watershed (Malang), Using Rapid Carbon Stock Appraisal (RaCSA)

Export citation

Within 15 years, C loss for the whole watershed (23810 ha) was estimated to be 25,924 Mg yr -1 or equivalent to a yearly C loss of 1.48 Mg ha -1 . 2. Carbon lost from natural forest was about 1.09 Mg ha -1 yr -1 , tree plantations lost 0.25 Mg ha -1 yr -1 . Carbon lost from coffee-based agroforestry systems was about 0.05 Mg ha -1 yr -1 . 3. Planting more trees (damar, pinus, mahogany) in the landscape through the Reforestation Program in the 1990-2005 period was not able to replenish the C lost from the landscape, planting more trees in the landscape through agroforestry and plantation may compensate the loss of C through forest conversion
