This study was located in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu with 3 sites. In this study,
square plot was used with size of 5 by 5 meters. At the corner in the plot, sub plot
was made with size of 1 by 1 meter in square shape. The distance between each plot
and transect was 50m. Tree that was taken for the measurement must have DBH 5cm
above. In the study area, few genus was found such rhizophora, lumnitzera,
bruguiera, avicennia, nypa and hibiscus. Rhizophora was the dominant genus that can
be found especially rhizophora apiculata in each study site. As a conclusion, the
carbon stock, biomass estimation and species diversity for UMT’s mangrove sites was
determined by this study.
