KARAKTERISTIK GAMBUT KAWASAN HIDROLOGIS KAHAYAN SEBANGAU PADA SIFAT BIOLOGI DAN GUGUS FUNGSIONALNYA

The purpose of the study was to determine differences in several soil biological properties and peat functional groups based on location formation (tidal peat, transitional inland peat). conducted soils Kahayan Sebangau Hydrological area, Central Kalimantan, from June August 2018. research method is laboratory observation chemical each sample location, analysis using FTIR Count Cup method. variables observed were Total Microbiology, Fungi, Bacteria, Respiration at Tidal (PS), Transitional (PR) Inland (PD) locations depths 0-25 cm 25-50 cm. results showed that peat) total population microorganisms, fungi, bacteria respiration most found tidal sampling depth a 0 - 25 its surface, main On three tidal, areas largest area dominated by fatty acid wax with wavelengths 3400 – 3000 cm-1. From 25-50, highest values are 3400-3000 3000-2800 cm-1, where this layer characteristics acids waxes.
