Abstract

Jambi Province is a province that has a peatland area of 716,838 ha, which is vulnerable to peat fires. One of the villages where fires often occur is Jati Mulyo village, Dendang sub-district, East Tanjung Jabung district. Several researchers reported that there were differences in the characteristics of burned and unburned peatlands. The burned peatland ecosystem undergoes a succession where litter is produced from shrubs that grow after the peat land is burned which is able to cover the soil surface. The condition of land burned in 2015 is expected to have different characteristics from peatland that burned in 2015 and burned again in 2019. The study aims to analyze the physical characteristics of peatlands that were burned in 2015 and peatlands that were burned in 2015 and burned back in 2019 in Jati Mulyo Village. The research method uses survey and observation methods. Representative sampling was carried out using purposive sampling method on burnt peatland areas in different years from May to September 2020. The data collected are peat depth, peat maturity (van Post method), groundwater table depth (using a float ruler), soil moisture content (gravimetric method), organic matter content (loss of ignition method), bulk density (ring sample method). The results showed that there were differences in peat depth, peat organic matter content, and peat bulk density between peatlands that burned in 2015 and burned back in 2019.
