Review Study: A Comparison of Carbon Reserves in Peat Soil and Mangrove Soil

Abstrak

Global warming is one of the important topics that concern many parties around the world. One of the efforts to reduce carbon emissions can be done by reducing carbon emissions. Soil is one of the largest carbon stores in terrestrial ecosystems. Of the various types of soil, there are several soils that are able to absorb and store carbon well, one of which is peat soil and mangrove soil. The purpose of this study was to find out how much and how big the difference in carbon stocks from the two types of soil. The method used was in the form of literature reviews from various sources such as journals, books, scientific articles, documentation, internet, and other literature. The results showed that the carbon stock in peat soil ranged from 1,172-9,055,922 tons/ha-1. Meanwhile, the carbon stock in mangrove soils ranged from 163.08 - 2,561.90 tons/ha. So it can be concluded that peat soil is better able to store carbon stocks with ahigher capacity than mangrove soil. However, this can also be determined by several other factors.
