PENDUGAAN CADANGAN KARBON ABOVE GROUND BIOMASS (AGB) PADA TEGAKAN SAWIT (ELAEIS GUINEENSIS JACQ.) DI KABUPATEN LANGKAT
ABSTRACT: Palm Oil Plant a CO2
absorber as well as other crops such as forest plants. Langkat District is one
of the areas that have a high oil commodity. Research on AGB estimates carbon
stocks in standing palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) in Langkat conducted in July
through September 2012. This study uses Allometric that calculate carbon stocks
in standing palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Associated with the value of
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).Largest carbon stocks contained
in the 14-year-old stands of oil reserves by 68.84 tonnes carbon / ha and the
smallest carbon stocks contained in the 3-year old palm stands by the number of
carbon reserves 19.20 tonnes / ha. Vegetation index can be calculated by the
model equation Y = 38.39 + 26.24 x NDVI on Landsat imagery. NDVI has a positive
relationship with the value of the field in which the R ² of the resulting
equation is equal to 49% of the stands of palm oil (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.).
