Abstract

ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the stored carbon stock, types of vegetation in the study sites and
the influence of forest fire. This research used standard method used by group of researchers whose joining
international network: Alternative to Slash and Brun (ABS) with observation subplot 5 m x 40 m = 200 m2
, vegetation
biomass measurements of 5 – 30 cm and > 30 cm (if any), biomass measurements of lower plants (understory, d < 5
cm), measurements of necromass that present at the soil surface. This research was conducted at an ex-fired
peatland area of Tumbang Nusa Village, Cental Kalimantan. The results showed that vegetation biomass based on
the distribution of diameter class of 5 – 30 cm has a large biomass of 2,607.16 Mg ha-1 because in the 5 – 30 cm
diameter class the vegetation contained in it was a type of tree that has a large biomass content, whereas the
necromass was low i.e. 44.93 Mg ha-1
, because few trees and woody necromass. The carbon stock in the study area
was 1,242.88 Mg ha-1
; this figure was small.
Keywords: Carbon Stock, biomass, necromass
