ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the value of organic carbon content and CO2 uptake in the leaves, roots
and sediments of Sonneratia alba mangroves. The research location was in the area of Marine and
Brackish Water Cultivation area of Probolinggo City. The research method used was a survey method
and the sampling was done by a non-destructive method. The results show that the highest average
biomass value in the leaves, roots, and sediments respectively is in the ratio of 7: 8: 9. The highest
average carbon content value in the leaves, roots, and sediments respectively is the ratio of 14: 17: 1.
The conclusion in this study is that the carbon content in each component of the leaves, roots and
sediments is 20.72 g. m-2, 24.76 g. m-2, 1.49 g. m-2, respectively and the carbon dioxide uptake
in the leaves, roots, and sediments is 90.80 g. m-2, 75.98 g. m-2, 5.46 g. m-2 with a ratio of 14: 17: 1.
