Abstract
Forests as a place for carbon sequestration will be a source of emissions if there are no more photosynthetic plants to store carbon
dioxide (CO2) gas. CO2 gases that spreads in atmosphere can affect global climate change. Uncontrolled timber harvesting in
natural forests has a negative impact on the potential for carbon absorption and CO2 emissions. This study aimed to analyze the
potential for carbon storage and emission due to felling in natural forests. The research method was carried out destructively and
non-destructively using data on potential stands before felling and the potential for trees to be felled on three logging compartments
by making nine sample observation plots (PCP) in three selected felling plots within the natural forest concession area, namely plots
numbered CC 47, K47, and L 47. Each PCP was a rectangular plot measuring 2 ha (200 x 100 m2
). The results showed that
the natural forest stand structure in the study location formed an inverted J letter, where the stands with a diameter class of 60 cm
and above had a lower stand volume than other diameter classes. Carbon storage in the stand before felling was 21.07 ton C/ha.
The potential for carbon storage decreased when 144 trees were felled, resulting the reduction was 18.49 ton C/ha, causing a
potential carbon emission of 67.86 tons CO2-eq. After felling, the potential for carbon storage was decreased or remained by 2.57
ton C/ha so that the potential for emission in the post-felling area was 9.43 tons CO2-eq.
