Forest degradation and industrial development have a negative impact on the global
climate. Forest vegetation plays a role in absorbing CO2 emissions in the air. The aims
of this research are to determine vegetation community structure, plant diversity
indices, and estimation of stands carbon stocks in Wana Wisata Tampora, Situbondo
district, East Java. The research was conducted using the transect method and
measured the diversity indices including Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), richness
index (R), and evenness index (E), while the carbon stock was estimated using an
allometric equation. The results showed that the diversity index value at the ground
cover layer was considered high (3.18), while saplings and trees were moderate (2.68
and 2.60). The results of the stands carbon stocks estimation have shown an average
value of 145.94 tonnes/ha. Plant species with high Important Value Index (IVI) and
carbon contributor including Schleichera oleosa (83.97 and 56.49 ton/ha), Lannea
coromandelica (58.88 and 32.35 ton/ha), Tectona grandis (24.72 and 8.5 ton/ha),
Azadirachta indica (20.72 and 8.27 ton/ha), and Acacia nilotica (9.40 and 8.39). The
results of the research will be useful for local governments as the basis for the
development of Wana Wisata Tampora and the management of flora biodiversity
