Abstract:
Peat ecosystems have plants biodiversity that can be used for various purposes, one of which is used for revegetation of post-coal mining area. This study aims to analyze the success of using peat vegetation for revegetation fo post-coal mining revegetation. The research method used direct observation through measuring the results of planting activities in the field and literature review The 4 species of peat plant seeds used were Shorea balangeran, Melaleuca cajuputi, Combretocarpus rotundatus and Syzgium sp. The data collected in the form of the number of stems. Measurements were made within a certain period, at the beginning of measurement, 1 month and 3 months after planting. The analysis used was percent growth. The results showed 2 species of plants, namely S.balangeran and Syzygium sp. had relatively higher growth than the others. The percentage of growth for S.balangeran = 76.17% and Syzygium sp. = 76.19%. The others are C.rotundatus had percent growth = 3.5% and M.cajuputi = 6%. S.balangeran and Syzygium sp. have the potential to be developed as local species for enrichment planting in post-coal mine revegetation areas.
