Abstract. Solfiyeni, Azzahra A, Mildawati, Ritonga MA. 2025. Estimation of carbon stock in areas invaded by invasive plants (Calliandra houstoniana) in the Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Asian J For 9: 312-321. Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park, located in West Sumatra, Indonesia, is an ecologically important area characterized by high biodiversity and a significant role in carbon storage. However, the invasion of alien plant species threatens both species diversity and carbon reserves within this ecosystem. This study aimed to quantify biomass, carbon stocks, and carbon dioxide sequestration in areas invaded by Calliandra houstoniana and to compare them with non-invaded areas. The research was conducted between September 2023 and February 2024, using a quadrat method. Two plot locations were selected: one invaded and one uninvaded by C. houstoniana. At each location, a 20 × 50 meter plot was created, divided into 10 subplots: 10 × 10 meters for tree observation, 5 × 5 meters for sapling observation, and 2 × 2 meters for seedling and ground vegetation observation. Data on trees and saplings were collected using non-destructive methods, while understory vegetation was sampled destructively. The invasion by C. houstoniana resulted in substantial declines in ecosystem carbon storage. In the area associated with C. houstoniana, the total biomass, carbon stock, and CO2 sequestration were 66.515 t/ha, 33.606 t/ha, and 123.37 t/ha, respectively, indicating a decrease of 76-78% compared to the area not associated with the species (300.216, 141.11, and 517.8 t/ha, respectively). These findings indicate that C. houstoniana association significantly reduces carbon stocks and sequestration capacity. Therefore, immediate management interventions are necessary to control its spread and mitigate further biodiversity and carbon losses.
