Analisis Distribusi Vertikal Kelembaban Dan Properties Tanah Gambut Pada Lahan Gambut Pulau Sumatera
Peatlands on the island of Sumatra have very deep peat thickness and are classified as sapric, hemic and fibric peat types with water absorption levels which are classified as Moderately Absorbent and Slightly Absorbent types. This research aims to analyze the vertical distribution of moisture and peat soil properties in peatlands on the island of Sumatra. This research was carried out using the method of measuring soil moisture with 2 HOBO Soil Moisture Type 10 HS and Soil Moisture Sensor 150T tools. A total of 11 peat soil samples were collected from 4 villages on Sumatra Island. Volumetric weight, water content, specific gravity, and fiber content were analyzed for all samples. Humidity measurements and properties testing are carried out per layer with a depth of 20 cm starting from the surface layer or a depth of 0 cm until reaching the ground water level. The research results showed that the vertical distribution of peat soil moisture on Sumatra Island in the area studied using field measurements experienced an increase in humidity with increasing depth, but this did not happen in Sumber Jaya Village. This could be influenced by the needle on the Soil Moisture Sensor device not reading perfectly the soil texture. In addition, the vertical distribution of peat moisture on Sumatra Island in the area studied using field measurements has relatively high humidity values compared to measurements using the HOBO Soil Moisture tool. Based on research conducted, the lower the dry volume and fiber content, and the higher the water content and wet volume, the higher the peat moisture. This research can provide important information about peat soil characteristics and peat soil moisture on Sumatra Island and can be used as a basis for better peatland management in the future.
