Fadhilah AM, Saputra ADP, Ahtunnisa AR, Zain AN, Rahmania A, Torimbanu AR, Mustika AB, Revalitha AA, Nisfatulsanah A, Wiraatmaja MF, Setyawan AD. 2025. Estimation of aboveground biomass and carbon stock in riparian woody species of the upstream Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia. Asian J Environ 1: 1-16. This study aims to assess the diversity and carbon storage potential of riparian woody species in the upstream section of the Bengawan Solo River in Central Java, Indonesia. Riparian zones play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem balance and sequestering carbon, yet their carbon storage potential has been underexplored. Field surveys were conducted across three sites Gadingan, Sukoharjo District; Sidowarno, Klaten District and Giriwono, Wonogiri District, Central Java, Indonesia using a plot-based sampling method, with 57 plots of varying sizes (10 × 10 meters for pole-stage and 20×20 meters for tree-stage vegetation) distributed in two station for each district. A total of 19 species from 10 families were recorded, with Tectona grandis L.f (jati/teak) being the dominant species across all sites, despite its dominant presence, Tectona grandis is classified as Endangered by the IUCN. The highest recorded carbon stock was observed at Giriwono, Wonogiri District (1190.015 MgC/ha) with carbon stock estimated at approximately 50% of the AGB. These findings emphasize the substantial carbon storage potential of riparian vegetation, especially in mature forest stands dominated by teak. The results highlight the importance of riparian zones as effective carbon sinks and suggest that targeted conservation strategies are necessary to optimize their role in climate change mitigation and biodiversity preservation.
