Analisis cadangan karbon pada perkebunan sawit menggunakan citra satelit landsat: studi kasus Perkebunan sawit di Kec. Hanau dan Danau Sembuluh, Kalimantan Tengah

Abstract

Analysis of carbon stock in two different vegetations is based on the coversion of non oil palm plantation land cover (this study consisted of agriculture and plantation forests, rubber, bush) into oil palm plantation and a large emmiter of carbon in Indonesian, especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan. The method used to estimate carbon stocks is approaching the energy balance method with Landsat satellite image processing, where energy which is received by the canopy for photosynthesis process will produce potential biomass through Beer-Lambert law. The potential of biomass is converted into carbon stock value with multiplying the potential biomass value by 0.4. Non oil palm and oil palm plantation have a small difference of carbon stock value. Carbon stock distribution map shows that in 2001 the carbon stock of oil palm plantation is 25.59 to 41.06 ton/ha, while the other ranging from 25.56 to 41.03 ton/ha. In 2004 carbon stocks in oil palm plantation ranging from 14.18 to 38.45 ton/ha, while the other ranging from 14.01 to 38.39 ton/ha. In 2008 carbon stocks in vegetation of oil palm plantations ranging from 25.61 to 41.71 ton/ha, while the other ranging from 25.61 to 41.26 ton/ha. In 2009 carbon stock in oil palm plantations ranging from 23.98 to 38.60 ton/ha, while the other ranging from 23.97 to 38.54 ton/ha.
