DAMPAK ERUPSI GUNUNG SINABUNG TERHADAP SIFAT KIMIA TANAH DI KABUPATEN KARO
ABSTRACT: This study aims to
determine the impact of the eruption of Mount Sinabung on soil chemical
properties in Karo. This study is exploratory in which the comparison between
forest land that is not affected by the eruption (control) was taken from the
village Kutagugung and forest land affected by the eruption taken from the
village Sukanalu. Soil samples exposed to the eruption consisted of two samples
that volcanic ash with a depth of 0-5 cm and mixed with volcanic ash soil to a
depth of 5- 20 cm, while for the control of soil samples consisted of a sample
of the soil to a depth of 0-20 cm. Tests conducted on soil chemical properties
BPTP North Sumatra and Central Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture,
University of North Sumatra. Results showed the soil to a depth of 5-20 cm
eruption contains C-Organic, CEC, available P, total P, and S with the criteria
of moderate to very high, while the volcanic ash with a depth of 0-5 cm and
control soil with a depth of 0 -20 cm contains the C-Organic, CEC, N, available
P, total P, K, Ca, Mg and S with the criteria of very low to very high.
