“…In other words, it is essential that questions of social risk should not be deemed secondary to other criteria; if a community objects to an OAE project due to sizeable livelihood risks, for example, that project should not move forward even if it is located at a biogeochemically optimal site. Here we can draw inspiration from efforts to create alternative forms of “carbon accountability” in relation to REDD+ or “blue carbon” initiatives. , Participatory evaluation offers mechanisms for including local communities and serves as a further opportunity to research social contexts of deployment . If (or when) OAE is integrated into voluntary or regulated private carbon markets, buyers of credits will compare multiple options, and it will be important to capture context-specific social variables, rather than simply the carbon removal efficacy of the intervention.…”

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is being considered as a way of achieving large-scale removals of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Research on the risks and benefits of different OAE approaches is expanding apace, but it remains difficult to anticipate and appraise the potential impacts to human communities that OAE might generate. These impacts, however, will be critical to evaluating the viability of specific OAE projects. This paper draws on the authors’ involvement in interdisciplinary assessment of OAE (1) to identify the factors that currently limit characterization of potential social impacts and (2) to propose ways of reconfiguring OAE research to better consider these.

“…Photosynthesis is the process of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, converting it into organic carbon, and storing it in the plant biomass such as stems, leaves and fruit (Dinilhuda et al 2020), and also in root systems. Therefore, tree planting becomes one strategy of the government's strategic plans to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide which is in accordance with international climate change agreements (Goldstein 2022). The long-term survival of trees in an area is critical for maintaining the carbon stored in their bodies.…”

Abstract. Sadono R, Wardhana W, Wirabuana PYAP. 2023. Estimating carbon storage of Eucalyptus urophylla vegetation in Mutis Timau Nature Reserve, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia using remote sensing analysis. Biodiversitas 24: 1946-1952. The presence of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake in Mutis Timau Nature Reserve (Cagar Alam) in Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia plays an important role in long-term climate change mitigation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the carbon storage of E. urophylla in Mutis Timau Nature Reserve in varying tree densities using remote sensing analysis. Sentinel 2B satellite image acquired on 10 September 2022 was used to generate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) using ArcGis 10.8. The NDVI values were then classified to generate the land cover type and density of E. urophylla. The NDVI values greater than 0.7 were assigned as the stands of E. urophylla and classified into low, moderate, and high density. The total carbon storage of each density area was calculated using the estimated area and secondary data of total carbon storage per ha for corresponding densities. The results of remote sensing analysis showed that E. urophylla vegetation was found to cover 73.82% or 9,084.56 ha of the total 12,306.43 ha estimated study area. The estimated area for moderate vegetation density of E. urophylla was 5,150.26 ha followed by low and high densities of 3,857.48 ha and 96.81 ha, respectively. The carbon storage of low, moderate, and high density was calculated to be 577,273.38, 996,655.61 and 27,467.90 tons C, respectively, totaling 1,601,396.89 tons C across the nature reserve. The findings of this study recommend that the coverage of E. urophylla vegetation needs to be expanded, specifically to become high-density to enhance carbon stock, for example through restoration.
