Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main Grk greatest number generated by human activity with the rate of emission of a very large, the gas is often used as a standard or benchmark for changes in atmospheric composition and global climate change. Efforts to increase the C in nature reserves in vegetative example by extending the planting of trees is an environmental service that is expected to reduce the greenhouse effect. In its growth, plant photosynthesis process of conducting that requires sunlight, CO2 from the air, water and nutrients from the soil. Thus the presence of plants can reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and the result of accumulated carbohydrates in plant biomass. The number of C stored on land technically called 'backup C' or 'C Deposit'. The process of accumulation of C in the body of living plants is called sequestration process (C-sequestration). Thus, measuring the amount of C stored in the body of the plant life (biomass) in a field can be described much CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants. While measurement C is still stored in the plants that have died (nekromassa) describes indirect CO2 not released into the air through combustion.

This study aims to determine the availability of stored carbon (Carbon Sink) above the ground at various coffee-based farming patterns and the angle of the slope in the Upper Basin Sekampung Naningan County Water District Tanggamus. Hypothesis is (1) Pattern-based mixed farming a more complete coffee is more able to increase carbon storage (2) reduction in the slope will increase carbon storage (3) There is interaction between the coffee-based farming pattern with the slope of carbon storage.

Treatment in this study is the variety of coffee-based farming patterns consisting of: (1) coffee monoculture, (2) coffee with pepper, (3) coffee with pepper and bananas, (4) coffee with pepper and cocoa, and (5) coffee with pepper, banana and cocoa as the first factor and the slope 10% and 20% as the second factor. This research factorial arranged in a randomized block design with two replications. The uniformity of the data was tested with Bartlett test and tested with data kemenambahan Tukey test, then the value of the average difference was tested with the Real Smallest test on a real level of 5%.

The results showed that with the full pattern of coffee-based farming increased carbon storage. At planting coffee, pepper, banana and cocoa, better able to increase the carbon in the ground.

Slope 10% and 20% did not have real impact on the increase of carbon in the ground and there is no interaction between the farming pattern with the slope of the carbon on the surface.

Keywords: biomass, carbon stored, the slope of the slope, the pattern of farming.
