Abstract

The level of traffic congestion in the Mataram city is predicted to be higher in the next three to five years which will have an impact as a source of increased air pollution in Mataram, one of which comes from carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main pollutant gases generated air pollution from all human activities. Langko road is one of the green open space (RTH) shaped path that passes through many office centers in Mataram. This study aimed to estimate carbon storage and carbon dioxide uptake in the green open space of Langko road. the data was collected by conducting an inventory of trees along the green open space on Langko road in the form of tree species, diameter, and height. Estimation of carbon storage and carbon dioxide uptake is calculated using allometric equations. The results showed that carbon storage in Langko road is 140.98 tons and carbon dioxide uptake is 517.40 tons. The tree species that contribute to the largest carbon storage and carbon dioxide uptake are from the Walnuts and Mahogany tree species which are the most abundant species.
