IDENTIFIKASI MAKROFAUNA TANAH DI BAWAH TEGAKAN KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) PADA LAHAN GAMBUT
Abstract: This research aims
to identify the type and amount of soil macrofauna, calculate the population
density (K) and the relative density (KR) of soil macrofauna with different
water level on peat lands under oil palm stands. This research was carried out
by observation, sampling for soil macrofauna data was determined by purposive
random sampling method which selected the location in accordance with the
purpose of research. The samples of the soil were taken in the circle, live
path and die path of oil palm with the total area 1 m x 1 m in the soil depth
until 15 cm which were repeated 3 times to obtain 18 samples. The data of
research were calculated and presented on table, then these data were analyzed
by descriptive statistic. These results indicated that the type and amount of
soil macrofauna on the circle, live path and die path of oil palm in water
level of 43 cm were higher than at
60 cm below in the water soil. The population density (K) and the relative
density (KR) of soil macrofauna on the circle, live path and die path oil plam
at the water level 43 cm below the soil surface had various types and higher
amount than at the level 60 cm.
