Abstract

Integrated farming systems, such as cattle grazing within oil palm plantations, influence both carbon sequestration and methane emission dynamics, while conventional monoculture practices yield different environmental outcomes. This study estimated and compared carbon stocks in young and mature oil palm plantations under integrated and conventional systems in Saratok, Sarawak. A total of 60 trees from each practice and stage were sampled systematically at 50-meter intervals. Aboveground biomass was estimated using non-destructive allometric equations and converted to carbon stock with a 0.47 carbon fraction. Results showed that conventional systems stored more carbon in both young (7.86 t C/ha) and mature (26.60 t C/ha) plantations compared to integrated systems (5.88 and 23.02 t C/ha, respectively). While conventional practices provide higher immediate carbon storage, integrated approaches may enhance long-term ecosystem sustainability. These findings contribute to understanding carbon dynamics in oil palm systems, supporting climate-resilient strategies and opportunities for carbon credit through sustainable management.
