INTRODUCTION Forests are the lungs of the world play a pivotal role in sustaining life on earth. Forests as part of the ecosystem that is the environment in the course of the reciprocal relationship between living things and their environment. It will be interrupted if one of that ecosystem change. The depletion of the ozone layer can cause a rise in the temperature reaches 40 0 C. This had caused the death as happened in India and and several State of the United States. In December 2007 the international community at a conference in Bali agreed through the Bali Road Map to address climate change in 2012. Reducing emissions from forest destruction to try to overcome them globally with a program or mechanism called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation Plus (REDD +). With REDD + mechanism, the State which succeeded in reducing emissions through improvements in land cover and forests and forest sustainable management will benefit from carbon credits that are kept, so that will optimize the potential of land and forests in various countries including Indonesia. In general, forests absorb Co 2 during photosynthesis and store it as organic matter in biomass plants. The amount of organic matter that is stored in the forest biomass per unit area and per unit of time is the subject of forest productivity. Moreover, forest productivity describes the ability of forests to reduce Co 2 emissions in the atmosphere through their physiological activity. Therefore forest productivity measurement is relevant to biomass measurement. In this case, forest biomass provides important information in predicting the magnitude of potential Co 2 sequestration and biomass in certain age that can be used to estimate forest productivity. Method of estimation, measurement, monitoring and reporting of land use, land use change and forests that are so complex to encourage the various parties, including Universities / Research Institutions to find a solution in the implementation of carbon trading. Various attempts were made Abstract: The forest that is the lungs of the world plays a very important role in the continuity of life on earth. Forests absorb Co2 during the process of photosynthesis and decomposition as organic matter in plant biomass. Measurement of forest productivity by biomass measurement. Forest biomass provides important information in the predicted potential of Co2 and biomass sequestration in certain ages that can be used to estimate forest productivity. This research was conducted in the community forest of Hutumuri village as one of traditional agroforestry “dusung” in Ambon Island. Beside that data base can serve as a planner base for the development of large-scale forecasts of carbon stocks for total community forest of agroforestry patterns. The carbon measurement method is done in demonstration plot for tree, sapling and forest floor level. The results show the dominant plant species for plot I in the dominance of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), plot II durian (Durio zibethinus) and plot III duku (Lansium spp). The total measured biomass on tree vegetation was 58.52 tC / ha; forest floor was 1.71 tC / ha; top soil layer was 13 tC / ha, woody necromass was 33.56 kg / m 2 ; rough and soft litter were 1.84 tC / ha, necromass was 67.16 tC / ha. Total biomass of Co2 sequestration in three plots of carbon measurement in community forest of Hutumury Village is 848,62 kg / m2 or 84,86 tC / ha. It can be classified in the Low Density Forest (HK 1). Therefore it is necessary to increase the cultivation of plants in the community forests of Hutumuri village to meet the requirements of sustainability in the ISCC system.
