Initial Measurement

Indonesia's tropical forests have an important large amounts of carbon and biodiversity land. The landcover change of the forest for other uses such as agriculture or plantations, particularly in the carbon-rich peat land, making Indonesia become one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters in the world. Along with the increase of the earth's temperature that rising quite sharply in recent years, Arboretum storage development programs are important in reducing air pollution. Arboretum storage created as a buffer area for water needs, natural environment and carbon storage as well as a have for the flora and fauna in urban areas. One of the Arboretum in the province of West Kalimantan is the area Arboretum Sylva Faculty of forestry Universitas of Tanjungpura Pontianak. The area is an planted with trees and other vegetation forming a structure resembling a forests and an area for the conservation of forest germplasm. It is needed to do re-measurement to search for the growth of the carbon stock in the Arboretum Sylva Tanjungpura University during a period of six years after the initial measurement. This research aims to register total value of (carbon stock) in the area of the Arboretum of the University of Tanjungpura Sylva. The method used for the research was survey sampling with non destructive measurement assesment for tree stage. Data collection was done by census/sampling intensity (100%). While  for the level of sapling, pole stage, stake and necromass were done by nested plots. The results show carbon stock stored for the per unit area was 255.55 tons/Ha and the value of carbon stored whole area was 817.76 Tons.  Keywords: stored carbon, tropical forests, Urban forests

Carbon stock is carbon stored both on the ground and land surface as plant biomass, dead plants (necromas), and in soil as soil organic matters. Change in carbon form becomes the basis for calculating emissions, where most of the carbon (C) elements that broken down into the air are usually bound to O2 and become CO2. Deforestation and degradation are the main threats on forest conservation in Indonesia. Deforestation and forest degradation that occur in Indonesia has led to the development of issues as a significant contributor to carbon emissions. The purpose of this study is to estimate carbon stocks in protected area at PT. Muara Sungai Landak Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan Province. This study used non-destructive sampling. This method, was done by measuring the diameter of the tree and then using an allometric equation that is suitable for estimating biomass. The making of sample plots in this study is stratified on land cover condition and systematic sampling. The results show that carbon stock for the entire area/cover of the protected area of PT. Muara Sungai Landak is 25.970.08 tons. The highest carbon was in old shrubland cover with total of 15.425.15 tons, followed by young thicket 10.356.46 tons C. The smallest stock was in open peat land of 188.46 tons C. The calculation of vegetation in this study show the old shrub cover is 128.8 tons/ha. Keywords: Allometric Equation, Carbon Stock, Protected Area, Stratified Sampling.

ABSTRACT Many people may not be aware of the extent of Kurt Kyser's collaboration with mineral exploration companies through applied research and the development of innovative exploration technologies, starting at the University of Saskatchewan and continuing through the Queen's Facility for Isotope Research. Applied collaborative, geoscientific, industry-academia research and development programs can yield technological innovations that can improve the mineral exploration discovery rates of economic mineral deposits. Alliances between exploration geoscientists and geoscientific researchers can benefit both parties, contributing to the pure and applied geoscientific knowledge base and the development of innovations in mineral exploration technology. Through a collaboration that spanned over three decades, we gained insight into the potential for economic uranium deposits around the world in Canada, Australia, USA, Finland, Russia, Gabon, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, and Guyana. Kurt, his research team, postdoctoral fellows, and students developed technological innovations related to holistic basin analysis for economic mineral potential, isotopes in mineral exploration, and biogeochemical exploration, among others. In this paper, the business of mineral exploration is briefly described, and some examples of industry-academic collaboration innovations brought forward through Kurt's research are identified. Kurt was a masterful and capable knowledge broker, which is a key criterion for bringing new technologies to application—a grand, curious, credible, patient, and attentive communicator—whether talking about science, business, or life and with first ministers, senior technocrats, peers, board members, first nation peoples, exploration geologists, investors, students, citizens, or friends.
