| Summary: | Bamboo have a high ability to absorb carbondioxide (CO2). Species of
bamboo petung (Dendrocalamus asper) much founded in the community forest
with multiple use, but there is other ability about potential of biomass and carbon
bamboo petung has not much known. The purpose of this research are: (1)
measure to estimate biomass and carbon of bamboo petung, (2) build the
allometric equation/ estimating models to estimate biomass and carbon bamboo
petung (Dendrocalamus asper) in the community forest, (3) estimate potential of
biomass and carbon above and below ground bamboo petung (Dendrocalamus
asper) in the community forest, (4) estimate potential of CO2 absorption bamboo
petung (Dendrocalamus asper) in the community forest.
One of bamboo petung cluster which consist of twelve bamboos petung
with varying diameters are used as samples for building allometric equation/
estimating models of biomass and carbon. Biomass was obtained by drying the
samples at a temperature of 103o±2oC until a constant dryweight, while the carbon
content was obtained by Walkley and Black method.
The results of research show that the average of biomass and carbon
samples one bamboo petung in the community forest are Biomass: 25,309 (25,309
± 7,055) kg/one bamboo and carbon: 12,508 (12,508 ± 3,403) kg/one bamboo.
Allometric equation/estimating models has built by the correlation between Dbh
with biomass and carbon bamboo petung (Dendrocalamus asper) in the
community forest are biomass total=0,118(Dbh)2,225 (R2=0,816) and Carbon
total=0,053(Dbh)2,267 (R2=0,837). Potential results of biomass and carbon above
and below ground bamboo petung (Dendrocalamus asper) in the community
forest are Biomass: (423,670±129,680) Ton/ha, carbon: (208,540±63,850) Ton/ha
and CO2 absorption: (768,530±234,340) Ton/ha.
