- Abstract
Revegetation using trees in reclaimed mined lands can rehabilitate degraded lands and sequester carbon (C) simultaneously. The objective of this study was to calculate the amount of C which had been sequestered by two tree species (Cassia siamea Lamk and Parasianthes falcataria) of 4 and 8 year-old stands in reclaimed mined lands in Tanjung Redep, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Plots of 20 m x 20 m were made in 4 and 8 year-old tree stands plots for destructive sampling. Three trees from each plot were destructively cut down and divided into above and below ground (roots). The tree biomass were divided into leaves, branches & twigs, stems, and roots. All biomasses were then sliced into small sizes and 200 g of each part was dried in the oven for dry biomass determination. The dry biomasses were grounded for C analysis. Data showed that total C sequestered by 4 and 8 year-old Cassia siamea Lamk were 67.29 and 118.74 kg C tree-1, respectively. While C sequestered by Parasianthes falcataria L of the respective ages were 159.91 and 237.25 kg C tree-1. Majority of the C biomass was in the above ground biomass of the trees and most of it was stored in the tree stems.
