Analisis Biomassa dan Kandungan Karbon pada Jenis Serasah Daun Tanaman Hutan Kota di Arboretum Arsitektur Lanskap IPB, Bogor

Abstract

Urban forest functioned as oxygen balancing (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), reduce pollutant, stored and emission carbon. This research aimed to measured biomass, carbon dioxide content, connection between biomass and binding carbon, and measured carbon dioxide absorption ability on manure type of city Forest plant on Arboretum Architecture Landscape IPB, Bogor. Method used in this research was destructive method during 7 weeks to 7 types of city plants were : trembesi (Samana saman), merbau (Intsia bijuga), dahu (Deacontomelon dao),ki putri (Podocarpus neriifolius), kayu manis (Cinnamonum zeylanicum), nangka (Artocarpus heterophylus), simpur (Dillenia indica). Trembesi (Samanea saman) and merbau (Intsia bijuga) was such type that has both highest binding biomass and carbon from seven type of city forest plants. Besides that leaf manure type from trembesi (Samanea saman) and merbau (Intsia bijuga) that have highest ability to absorb CO2 about 4.749 and 4.007 ton/ha/year. Urban forest development by plant both trembesi and timber tree types were as one alternative to reduce increasingly emission of carbon.
