Analysis of biomass and carbon potential on eucalyptus stand in industrial plantation forest, North Sumatra, Indonesia

Perubahan penutupan lahan merupakan sektor penyumbang emisi gas rumah kaca terbesar, termasuk di dalamnya adalah pemanfaatan lahan. Analisis tutupan lahan menjadi bagian penting dalam menentukan jumlah potensi karbon yang tersedia. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan tutupan lahan dari tahun 2003 hingga 2018 dan menghitung potensi karbon di Taman Hutan Raya Pocut Meurah Intan dengan luas objek penelitian 6.215 ha. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama 5 (lima) bulan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode stock difference, yaitu metode perhitungan luas tutupan lahan dan stok karbon pada dua titik waktu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan luas tertinggi tahun 2018 seluas 263 ha dan terendah tahun 2009 seluas 108 ha. Lahan terbuka meningkat seluas 100 ha, pemukiman 81 ha, semak belukar 65 ha, pertanian lahan kering campur semak 32 ha. Sementara hutan lahan kering sekunder menurun 79 ha, hutan tanaman 76 ha, savanna 21 ha dan pertanian lahan kering 103 ha. Selama kurun waktu 15 tahun berdasarkan kelas penutupan lahan, cadangan karbon tertinggi pada tahun 2003 sebesar 656.053 ton, terendah tahun 2012 sebesar 620.992 ton. Laju serapan karbon tertinggi pada periode tahun 2015-2018 sebesar 94.615 ton CO2 dan terendah pada periode tahun 2009-2012 sebesar 1.981 ton CO2. Laju emisi tertinggi pada periode tahun 2003-2006 sebesar 79.559 ton CO2 dan terendah periode tahun 2006-2009 sebesar 9.069 ton CO2. Peningkatan serapan karbon diakibatkan oleh meningkatnya luas tutupan lahan pada hutan lahan kering sekunder dan adanya pemanfaatan lahan untuk pertanian lahan kering campur semak.ABSTRACTChanges in land cover are the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, including land use. Land cover analysis is an important part in determining the potential amount of carbon available. The study aims to analyze changes in land cover from 2003 to 2018 and calculating the carbon potential in the Pocut Meurah Intan Forest Park with a research object area of 6,215 ha. The research was conducted for 5 (five) months. This research uses the stock difference method, namely the method of calculating land cover area dan stok karbon pada dua titik waktu. The results showed that the highest area change in 2018 was 263 ha and the lowest was in 2009 at 108 ha. Open land increased by 100 ha, settlement 81 ha, scrub 65 ha, dry land agriculture mixed with shrubs 32 ha. Meanwhile, secondary dry land forest decreased by 79 ha, plantation forest 76 ha, savanna 21 ha and dry land agriculture 103 ha. Over a 15 year period based on land cover class, the highest carbon stock in 2003 was 656,053 tons, the lowest was in 2012 at 620,992 tons. The highest carbon absorption rate in the 2015-2018 period was 94,615 tons of CO2 and the lowest was in the 2009-2012 period of 1,981 tons of CO2. The highest emission rate in the 2003-2006 period was 79,559 tonnes of CO2 and the lowest for the 2006-2009 period was 9,069 tonnes of CO2. The increase in carbon sequestration is caused by the increase in land cover in secondary dryland forest and the use of land for mixed dry land agriculture.

Haneda NF, Retmadhona IY, Nandika D, Arinana. 2017. Biodiversity of subterranean termites on the Acacia crassicarpa plantation. Biodiversitas 18: 1657-1662. The development of industrial plantation forests is one of the efforts to meet the needs of raw material of processing industry of timber forest products. In the last 15 years, the development of industrial plantation forest has grown rapidly. Plant species widely developed is fast-growing plants (fast growing trees) such as Acacia crassicarpa Cunn ex Benth. However, A. crassicarpa has a low resistance against pests, evidenced by the presence of subterranean termites attack occurred in the industrial plantation forest of A. crassicarpa. This aim of the study is to determine the diversity of subterranean termites in plantation forest of A. crassicarpa. Two methods used for data collection: baiting system and survey. Five species of subterranean termites found on sample paths were Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren, C. gestroi Wasmann, Schedorhinotermes javanicus Kemner, Longipeditermes longipes Haviland, and Pericapritermes mohri Kemner. These species can be distinguished from the morphology of the mandible. Coptotermes is most commonly found Genus in study plots.

Sumatran tiger lives in the remaining forests on the Sumatra island, both in conservation and production areas. There are not many tiger monitoring activities conducted in production forest. Using camera traps this occupancy survey of Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) carried out in a plantation forest area of PT. Toba Pulp Lestari (PT. TPL) to obtain information and monitor tiger presence in the area. However, there were no Sumatran tigers captured by the camera traps during the occupancy activities. The existence of Sumatran tiger was proven by the finding of footprints and scrapes. Other species were photographed by the camera traps, such as marbled cat ((Pardofelis marmorata), pig-tailed monkey (Macaca nemestrina), treeshrew (Tupaia sp.), Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), lizards (Eutropis sp.), Hoogerwerf’s pheasant (Lophura hoogerwerfi), wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) as well as birds. It is assumed that the Sumatran tiger didn’t cross the location of research during the camera installation period. However, there are several other reasons why Sumatran tigers weren’t captured by camera traps, such as the camera traps observation time was too short and didn’t cover a larger area, so it lessens the opportunity of encounter with Sumatran tiger.Harimau Sumatera hidup di hutan yang masih tersisa di pulau Sumatera, baik di kawasan hutan konservasi maupun hutan produksi. Kegiatan pemantauan harimau di hutan produksi belum banyak dilakukan. Dengan menggunakan camera trap, survei okupansi harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae) ini dilakukan di areal konsesi hutan tanaman industri PT. Toba Pulp Lestari (PT. TPL) untuk mendapatkan informasi dan memantau keberadaan harimau di kawasan tersebut. Namun, tidak ada harimau sumatera yang terfoto oleh kamera trap selama kegiatan survei okupansi. Keberadaan harimau sumatera dibuktikan dengan ditemukannya jejak tapak dan cakaran. Selain itu, terdapat ppesies lain yang terfoto oleh kamera trap, seperti kucing batu ((Pardofelis marmorata), beruk (Macaca nemestrina), tupai tanah (Tupaia sp.), musang pandan (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), kadal (Eutropis sp.), sempidan aceh (Lophura hoogerwerfi), tikus hutan (Apodemus sylvaticus) serta burung. Diasumsikan bahwa harimau sumatera tidak melintasi lokasi penelitian selama masa pemasangan kamera. Namun, terdapat beberapa alasan lain mengapa harimau sumatera tidak terfoto kamera trap, seperti waktu pengamatan kamera trap yang terlalu singkat dan tidak mencakup area yang lebih luas, sehingga memperkecil peluang perjumpaan dengan harimau sumatera.

Ecological Politics

Ecological politics rely solely on economic interest. Development and the environment have a complicated correlation. The industrial plantation forest policy aims to ensure that the economic benefit goes hand in hand with the sustainability demand. Ironically, this policy triggers a conflict between local communities and corporations as the holder of forest concession rights. The concession is practically established due to merely economic interest aligned with the extractive industry of tobacco in Lombok. The plantation is aimed as the supporting source for the tobacco industry since it requires specific woods to roast the tobacco. The study refers to utilizes instrumental state theory and deep ecology perspective to identify how the policy was made for the capital and tobacco capital benefits, while the sustainability objective is left behind. The study shows not only how the concession sparked ironic economic development, but also how the liberal environmentalism approach in industrial forest plantation policy has failed to gain its objective. The economic potential of tobacco in Lombok is the main determinant in industrial forest plantation policy that changes community forests into private forests. In the end, the policy was strategically implemented to sustain production and strengthen corporation monopoly over forests.

Food Needs

The Orang Rimba are a hunting-gathering group that lives depending on the availability of the forest. Forests not only function as livelihoods but also have cultural significance as a resource for their cultural traditions. However, in the last few decades, forest conversion in Jambi province has increased. The increased function of forests in Jambi from forests as plantation areas, mining areas and industrial plantation forest areas has made the lives of the Orang Rimba as a hunting-gathering group increasingly threatened. Food security is a condition in which all people, at any time, have access both physically, socially, and economically to adequate, safe, and nutritious food which can meet food needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Through the micro ethnography approach, the purpose of this paper is to know and understand the phenomenon of food security from the perspective of the Orang Rimba as seen from its availability, adequacy, affordability, and security. Orang Rimba have food security by relying on food sources available in the forest. In a state of urgency they will return to the forest.
