Perbandingan Sifat Kimia dan Biologi Tanah Akibat Keterbukaan Lahan Pada Hutan Reboisasi Pinus di Kecamatan Pollung Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan Sumatera Utara
ABSTRACT: Forest clearing
activity has been caused land openness in some forest areas such as reforested
forest. Land openness could cause the
decreasing of fertility
value of forest
soil. The objective
of this research
was to comparing
of soil’s chemical and biological
characteristics in open area with pine forest in pine reforested forest in
Pollung sub-district of Humbang
Hasundutan district, North Sumatera.
This research was
using secondary data
of soil’s chemical
and biological characteristics analysis results from Team of Living
Environmental Ministry 2010. Descriptively, this research has shown
that land openness
has caused lower
comparison of all
average value of
soil’s chemical and
biological parameters.
Highest percentage of
comparison difference in
open area was
total of C-organic
content that amounted 59.90% and
total of soil
fungi that amounted
94.18 % lower
than pine forests. Degradation
of soil’s chemical
and biological values was
caused by the
decreasing of total organic
content of soil
and nutrient washing
by rain water. Considering to negative impact that
will be caused thus needed an effort of soil resiliency through land
rehabilitation by whitewashing of acid soil and re-vegetation.
Keywords: soil degradation,
pine forest, open area, soil’s chemical characteristic, soil’s biological
characteristic.
