| dc.description.abstract | Development of Indonesian palm oil industry, not only contributes
positively to economic sector. Biggest challenge lies in the negative
issues of oil palm development, namely environmental issues. Land
use change, forest clearing, deforestation, peat land for palm
plantation expansion are environmental issues because they are
considered to disturb the balance of greenhouse gases. The use of
non-standard fertilizers and POME processing can also increase
CO2 emissions, which in turn will reduce carbon storage in
vegetation and soil. Soil is the most potent organic carbon sink
compared to plants. Soil is an organic carbon pool (reservoir) that
accumulates organic carbon in and organic carbon out. The
accumulated carbon is influenced by aboveground biomass,
belowground biomass, necromass, litter and soil organic matter.
So that the development of oil palm is accused of being one of the
factors that play a role in soil organic carbon (SOC), soil carbon
loss (SCL), net carbon balance (NCB), or greenhouse gasses
(GHG) emissions. Where this is a very important component in the
palm carbon cycle that has an impact on the global climate. The
mass balance approach to the palm carbon cycle obeys the law of
conservation of mass. The mass of palm carbon before and after
processing is constant. This means that the total mass of palm
carbon during the process does not change, only a phase change
occurs, namely solid, liquid, and gas. | en_US |
