PENGARUH PEMADATANTANAH GAMBUT TERHADAP SIFAT FISIK PADA DUA LOKASI YANG BERBEDA
Abstract: This research aims
to find out the effect of compaction of peatland on the physical propertiesat
the two different locations. The research was conducted in October- December
2014 at society’s peatland in LubukOgong, Langgam, Pelalawan, Riau. The
research used Factorial Split Plot Design (SPD) that consisting 2 factors and 3
replications. Factor I: compaction Level A1, A2, A3, and Factor II: the
difference of Location B1 and B2 (Location 1 and Location 2). Parameters were
observed those physical characteristics of soil included bulk density, particle
density, total pore space, permeability, soil penetration, and water content.
The data were analyzed by anova and the means were testedwithLSDsignificant
level 5%. The result shows that the
increasing of compaction of the peatland
produces the increasing of bulk density and the decreasing of total pore space
up to the soil deep 15-20 cm. Whereas the analysis result of the water content
and particle density shows nonsignificant. The increasing of compaction is also
reducing the permeability rate and increasing the value of soil penetration.
