PEMETAAN POTENSI KARBON DI LAHAN GAMBUT TOPOGEN PADA BERBAGAI KECAMATAN DI KABUPATEN HUMBANG HASUNDUTAN, PROVINSI SUMATERA UTARA
ABSTRACT: Mapping the
potential of carbon was an inventory activities that the carbon content and
deposits can be mapped and known. Mapping the potential of carbon would provide
information that will be useful in the management of peatland resources. The
objective of this study was to map peatland area, know the type of land cover
and know the amount of carbon stored in the peat. This research method was 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 was 6289.08 ha or about 2.513% of the total land Humbang
Hasundutan 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 Humbang Hasundutan District of 170,45 tonnes. Peatland management should
be done by considering the carrying capacity and environmental sustainability,
in order to obtain benefits not only on the environment but also on the social
and economic community.
