PENDUGAAN CADANGAN KARBON ABOVE GROUND BIOMASS DI KECAMATAN LUMBAN JULU KABUPATEN TOBA SAMOSIR
ABSTRACT: The destruction of
forests, climate change and global warming, causing indirect benefits from the
forest is reduced, because the forest is the largest carbon sink and play an
important role in the global carbon cycle. In order to reduce the rate of
global warming, this study estimated the potential of carbon stock. The study
aimed to calculate carbon stocks above ground biomass in Lumban Julu
Sub-District. This study was conducted in February to May 2015 in Lumban Julu
Sub-District, Toba Samosir District. Non destructive method were used in this
study. Parameters measured in the field were diameter breast height (DBH) and
height of the tree.The result showed that the amount of carbon content in above
ground biomass in Lumban Julu Sub-District stands in Jangga Toruan Village and
Jangga Dolok Village, respectively by 202,59 ton/ha and 204,79 ton/ha. The
value of the carbon content in Lumban Julu Sub-District classified as good.
