Judul: Model persamaan alometrik biomassa dan massa karbon pohon Akasia mangium (Acacia mangium Willd.): studi kasus pada HTI Akasia mangium di BKPH Parung Panjang, KPH Bogor, Perum Perhutani Unit III Jawa Barat dan Banten
Abstrak: Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in the atmosphere already have environmental impacts caused by rising air temperature at the earth. Forests can absorb greenhouse gases by way of transforming CO2 from the air to deposit the carbon stored in trees. Acacia mangium is a fast growing tree species having ability to tolerate wide-range soil conditions, which make this spesies attractive for tree planting in critical lands. This research was conducted in Acacia mangium plantation forest at Parung Panjang Sub-District, Bogor District, Perum Perhutani Unit III, West Java and Banten. The objective of this research are (1) to learning the carbon content of tree biomass component, (2) to learning the allometric equation models for biomass and carbon mass estimation and (3) estimating the carbon stocks of Acacia mangium plantation. Selection of sample trees in each diameter class were conducted by purposive sampling, starting from diameter class 0-5 cm to those of 35-40 cm. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the carbon content of tree biomass component. Selection of the best equation was conducted by using allometric regression based on the highest R2(adj). The results of the case study on Acacia mangium stands, showed that there is a differences in carbon content of tree biomass component (roots, stems, branches, twigs and leaves). The highest carbon mass is in the main stem of the tree, and the lowest is in the leaves. The model of tree biomass allometric equation of Acacia mangium is W = 0,140928 D2,31 and tree carbon mass allometric equation is C = 0,060255 D2,39. Potency of carbon stocks in Acacia mangium plantation forest at Parung Panjang Sub-District was 25,4183 ton/ha.

Judul: Persamaan Alometrik Biomassa dan Massa Karbon Akar Pohon Hutan Alam Tropika di Areal IUPHHK-HA PT. Suka Jaya Makmur, Kabupaten Ketapang, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat.
Abstrak: Main factor which is considered of global warming is increasing concertration of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere. Plants have the ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere into useful energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process produces the O2 and energy, and some of the energy stored in the form of biomass. Natural tropical forest is one of the forest type that can absorb CO2 well, so its potential to savings carbon. The goal of this research is to get the allometric equation and tree roots of biomass and carbon mass of natural tropical forest in IUPHHK-HA PT Suka Jaya Makmur areas. Selection of sample trees on each class has been done by a purposive sampling and carbon content analysis of sample materials are conducted in the laboratory of wood chemistry in the totally of forestry, IPB. The best equation of allometric was selected based on the highest R2(adj) and the smallest standard deviation (s). Allometric equation model of tree roots biomass allometric relationship with root diameter, trees highest, and biomass of roots of the tree above the ground are as follows : BA = 0,0162 D2,55, BA = 0,0398 D3,39 T-1,24, BA = 0,1510 BB1,14, BA = 0,9397 BC1,10, BA = 2,5351 BD1,11, BA = 0,0691 BT1,14. Allometric equation model of tree roots carbon mass with diameter, tree height and with carbon mass of tree above ground are as follows : CA = 0,0089 D2,58, CA = 0,0229 D3,47 T-1,31, C = 0,1545 CB1,08, CA = 0,9440 CC1,12, CA = 2,5704 CD1,14, CA = 0,0741 CT1,14. T-student test results of tree roots carbon mass equations of tree roots carbon mass with the mass carbon of parts of the tree above the ground, and equations of tree roots carbon mass with diameter and height of the tree, shows that the results are not different.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
