Abstract

ABSTRACTVegetation structure and carbon stock of primary tropical rain forest at Batang Toru, NorthSumatra. Deforestation and forest degradation contribute for 20 to 25 percent of annual totalcarbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and to be one of substantial factor of climate change or globalwarming. Avoided deforestation into carbon-market regime by reducing emission fromdeforestation and forest degradation (REDD) scheme has been agreed on COP 13 of UNFCCCthat was held in Bali on December 2007. REDD application need reliable scientific basic aboutthe amount of carbon storage in well managed natural forest. The aims of this research were todetect vegetation structure and to estimate aboveground biomass, carbon stock and CO2absorption of primary tropical rain forest at Key Biodiversity Area of Batang Toru ForestBlock, North Sumatra Province by existing allometric equation. We designed 20 sampling plotsof 20 x 20 m in two forest area, i.e. Aek Game-game forest and Aek Silemes forest. All trees 5 cmat diameter at breast height (dbh) and above were measure and identified. From the study, thedistribution of diameter class formed “L” curve which mean an indication as balanced forest.The aboveground biomass of the forest is 544.4 to 583.0 t/ha in Aek Silemes forest and 604.5 to613.6 t/ha Aek game-game forest. It is equivalent with 272.2 to 291.5 t C/ha or 999.0 to 1,069.9 tCO2/ha in Aek Silemes forest and 302.2 to 306.8 t C/ha or 1,109.2 to 1,125.9 t CO2/ha in Aekgame-game forest. More of carbon stock (>46% for Aek Silemes forest and >58% for Aek gamegameforest) saved within dbh of trees 50 cm and above. Therefore, sustainable managementof forest ecosystem is very important to reduce CO2 emission from deforestation and forestdegradation and to improve the function of forest ecology and economy.Keywords: aboveground biomass, carbon stock, CO2, primary tropical rain forest, BatangToru-North Sumatra

Abstract

ABSTRACTLand-cover change of mangrove forests at eastern coast of North Sumatra in Period 1977 to2006. Mangrove is one of the world’s threatened major tropical environments. Nevertheless,activities that contribute to this depletion continue. The main objectives of this research wereto analyze the land cover change of mangrove forests in eastern coastal of North Sumatrabased on previous inventory in period 1997 to 2006 and to acquire the factors of mangrovedisturbance in the areas. In fact, mangrove forest areas in eastern coastal of North Sumatradecreased 59.68% from 103,425 ha in 1977 to 41,700 ha in year 2006. Expansion of aquacultureponds and extraction of timber and fuel wood were most important factors of mangrove forestdegradation in the areas. Therefore, we need to rehabilitate the degraded mangrove forests inthe area both massively and systematically, and to prevent the remaining mangrove forestsfrom destruction activities.Keywords: mangroves, land-cover change, North Sumatra
