Pendugaan Biomasa di Atas Tanah di Ekosistem Hutan Primer dan Hutan Bekas Tebangan

Abstract

Biomass studies using combination of destructive and non-destructive sampling were conducted in the tropical rain forest of Dusun Aro, Jambi. In non-destructive sampling. biomass density was estimated using aglometric equation from Brown (1997) mainly for trees with diameter at breast height greater than 5 cm. The components of above-ground biomass considered in this study were the iunder storeys, litters, livingh treas, dead standing trees, felled trees, and stumps (trunks) remained on forest floor. The purpose of the study is to estimate total above-ground biomass per unit area in the primary and logged- over forest
