Pemetaan Potensi Karbon pada Gambut Topogen di Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan

Abstract

GRANDIS TUA SITANGGANG : Mapping Potential Carbon In Peat Topogen Hasundutan Humbang District, guided by RAHMWATY and ABDUL RAUF Mapping the potential of carbon is an inventory of activities that the carbon content can be mapped and known deposits. Mapping the potential of carbon will provide information that will be useful in the management of peatland resources. The purpose of this study is to map peatland area, know the type of land cover and know the amount of carbon stored in the peat. This research method is the analysis of Landsat ETM + image data of 2012, field measurements and sampling and soil analysis results of field measurements. The results showed the whole area of peatland is 6289.08 ha or about 2.513% of the total land Hasundutan Humbang district. Land cover types are rice peat, peat swamp forests, non-vegetation, shrubs peat, peat mining areas, and coffee farming. Total carbon content in peat Hasundutan Humbang District of 16994.09 tonnes.
