Kajian Prosedur Operasi Baku (SOP) dan Pelaksanaan Pemantauan Debit dan Erosi di Hutan Tanaman Industri

Abstract

Industrial plantation forest management with clear cutting and man made planting silviculture system potentially causes negative impact on runoff and surface erosion rate. Therefore, every industrial plantation forest concessionaries have to control those negative impacts. In order to control the impacts, information of river discharge and surface erosion rate are required. To get right information, forest plantation concessionaries develop standar operating procedure (SOP) for river discharge and surface erosion rate monitoring and implementation of monitoring. This study is aimed to analyze the SOP for river discharge and erosion, and their implementations based on scientific view of applied methods. Based on gap analyses, among SOP contents, their implementation and scientific view of applied methods, SOP and their implemenatation of river discharge and erosion monitoring are not effective yet to control the impact of forest plantation mangement on surface run-off, river discharge and erosion rate. Methods for river discharge and surface erosion monitoring written in the SOP and implementations are needed to be improved to obtain more valid and accurate information to control the impact of forest plantation management effectively.
