Forest cover in Bengkulu is reduced. Data from WARSI shows, 1990 forest cover areas in the province are approximately 1,009,209 hectares or 50.4 % of the land area reaching 1,979,515 hectares. But now, it is only 685,762 hectares of the area of his blood. That is, the period of 25 years, there is a forest cover decline of 323,447 hectares. Forest and land cover changes are the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this article is to see land cover changes based on carbon stock in the years 2009 and 2018. Model of land cover change based on carbon stock year 2028 and 2038. The method of this research uses the calculation of the Stock Difference Approach with spatial analysis of national land closure of Landsat imagery 2009-2018 and biomass data for forest inventory results Geographic Information System (GIS). The results of this research were the reduced forest area and the change in land use changed from 2009 and 2018. So carbon stock is also increasingly reduced.
