ANALISIS PENGARUH UMUR TANAMAN TERHADAP KETAHANAN TANAH DI LAHAN REKLAMASI PASCATAMBANG PT. BUKIT ASAM TANJUNG ENIM
Coal mining is generally carried out with an open pit mining system or by stripping the soil covering the miningmaterial. Open-Pit Mining has a major negative impact on the environment, one of which is the destruction of the soil layer. As result plants cannot develop normally. The reflection of how easily ornot easily the soil is penetrated by plant roots is called soil resilience. Soil resistance is also one of the properties of soil to resist external forces or called penetration. Soil resistance to penetration is also influenced by the physical and chemical properties of the soil such as water content in the soil, the level of soil organic matter, soil bulk desity and texture. The method used in this study for sampling used purposive sampling method. Five sample points were taken for each reclaimed area revegetated with eucalyptus plants of different ages and two replicates were conducted for soil samples with depths of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm. The total sample points obtained were 15 points with 30 soil samples. The parameters observed included bulk density (content weight), moisture content and soil texture. Then the data results were processed using Microsoft Excel. The results showed different resilience values on each reclaimed land, the West Banko IUP in 2018 had an average resilience value of 18.03mm/impact, while the West Banko IUP in 2019 had an average resilience value of 11.59 mm/impact and the West Banko IUP in 2021 had an average soil resilience value of 5.92mm/impact. There is a positive relationship between bulk density and moisture content on soil resilience. Soil durability is influenced by bulk density by 31.09% and moisture content by 22.15%.
