Keanekaragaman Tumbuhan Bawah dan Potensi Simpanan Karbon di Lahan Revegetasi Pascatambang PT. Berau Coal, Kalimantan Timur

Abstract

Inventarisasi tumbuhan dan perhitungan karbon dilakukan untuk mengukur keberhasilan revegetasi lahan pascatambang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman tumbuhan bawah serta mengetahui potensi simpanan kabon di atas permukaan tanah serta kaitannya terhadap perbedaan umur lahan revegetasi 2018, 2016 dan 2013. Pembuatan plot menggunakan metode petak contoh berukuran 50 m x 50 m sebanyak 3 plot pertegakan umur. Masing-masing plot terdapat 4 (subplot). Pengukuran biomassa dilakukan dengan metode non destruktif dan menggunakan rumus alometrik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keanekaragaman ketiga umur revegetasi yang tidak jauh berbeda. Biomassa total dan kandungan karbon tersimpan tertinggi dihasilkan pada revegetasi tahun 2013 dengan total sebesar 81,61 ton/ha dan total kandungan karbon tersimpan sebesar 38,36 ton C/ha sedangkan biomasa total dan simpanan karbon di lahan revegetasi tahun 2018 adalah 33,23 ton/ha dan 15,62 ton C/ha dan biomasa total dan simpanan karbon di lahan revegetasi tahun 2016 adalah 75,48 ton/ha dan 35,48 ton C/ha.

Plant inventories and carbon calculations are carried out to measure the success of post-mining land revegetation. Plant inventories and carbon calculations are carried out. This research aims to determine the diversity of understory plants and determine the potential for carbon deposits above ground and their relationship to differences in the age of revegetated land in 2018, 2016 and 2013. Plots were made using the sample plot method measuring 50 m x 50 m with a total of 3 plots. Each plot has 4 (subplots). Biomass measurements are carried out using non-destructive methods and using allometric formulas. The research results show that the diversity of the three revegetation ages is not much different. The highest total biomass and stored carbon content was produced in revegetation in 2013 with a total of 81,61 tons/ha and the total stored carbon content was 38,36 tons C/ha while the total biomass and carbon savings in revegetated land in 2018 was 33,23 tons/ha and 15,62 tons C/ha and total biomass and carbon storage in revegetated land in 2016 was 75,48 tons/ha and 35,48 tons C/ha.
