Abstract

Bekasi City is experiencing climate problems, one of which is a decrease in rainy days. The existence of the Patriot Bina Bangsa City Forest and Bekasi City Park is expected to reduce the impact of climate change through the role of the tree communities in it as a carbon sink. The problem faced is the absence of data on tree communities, carbon stocks and the potential for carbon dioxide absorption of trees. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between tree communities and stock values as well as to estimate the potential for carbon dioxide uptake and tree demand in the Patriot Bina Bangsa City Forest and Bekasi City Park. Sampling of trees using purposive sampling method with a square plot measuring 20x20 meters. Sampling of motorized vehicles using the survey method. The results of this study indicate a very strong relationship between the importance of trees and carbon sequestration in the Patriot Bina Bangsa Urban Forest and the relationship in the Bekasi City Forest, as well as estimates of the trees needed to absorb carbon dioxide in the Patriot Bina Bangsa City Forest and Bekasi City Park, namely 3093 trees with diameter 0.31 m.
