Hubungan model arsitektur pohon roux jenis Koordersiodendron pinnatum Merr dan koriba jenis Pometia pinnata Forster terhadap parameter perimbangan air di hutan tanaman anggori Manokwari
Abstract
Tree model architecture have an important role in water balance in forest lands. The pattern of growth and development of the tree produces a stem, branches and canopy that serves as the interception of rain water, produce organic material, and increase soil infiltration. The whole function is important in water storage in the forest. The research was conducted in Anggori Manokwari research plantations. Water balance parameters such as precipitation, throughfall, stem flow, soil moisture content, stem water content, and transpiration were measured on two tree species, Koordersiodendron pinnatum Merr and Pometia pinnata Forster.The results of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed a close relationship with the whole tree architecture model parameters of water balance. The same pattern of relationship shown by the two trees model architecture with parameters of rainfall, throughfall, and stem the flow. While the parameters of soil water content, stem water content, and transpiration showed a different relationship. Tree model architecture Roux K. pinnatum Merr, parameters of stem water content and transpiration have closer ties. Tree model architecture Koriba P.pinnata Forster, parameters of stem water content and soil moisture content has a closer relationship. These results illustrate that K. pinnatum Merr was higher to store water in the trunk, while P. pinnata Forster was higher to store water in the soil. Therefore, P. pinnata Forster is better to be planted in term of environmental management through water-soil-reserve relationships.
