【 摘 要 】
Peatland clearance and drainage result in the change of anaerobic to aerobic condition and hence microbial activities that increase CO2 emission. This study aimed to evaluate the rate of microbial respiration and microbial population from sapric and hemic peat under oil palm plantation. Research activities included measurement of soil respiration using potassium hydroxide (KOH) to capture the respired CO2, and counting the population of microbes. Results of this study showed that the highest rate of respiration of 3.3 ± 0.8 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1 occurred from the 0-20 cm layer and it decreased to 2.1 ± 1.0 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1 from the 20-40 cm layer and 1.2 ± 0.9 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1 from the 40-60 cm layer in sapric peat. For the hemic peat the highest rate of respiration of 3.1 ± 0.4 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1 occurred from the 0-20 cm layer and it decreased to 2.0 ± 0.7 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1 from the 20-40 cm layer. Soil respiration decreased with peat depth and bacteria were the most dominant microbes in each peat depth, indicating that bacteria play a more important role in respiration than other microbes.
