This article aims to explore the implementation of agroforestry patterns in the Sesaot forest area and the impacts on the local community income and the carbon stocks. It is written based on descriptive research, data are collected through observation, interviews, and FGDs to 42 respondents, and measuring carbon stocks in 18 locations. The analysis in this study is divided into three: 1) clustering based on plant dominance to identify existing agroforestry patterns, 2) allometric equations to measure the amount of carbon stock, and 3) using scoring to analyze the identified agroforestry patterns to find out the most optimal. This study finds that there are four agroforestry patterns in this area: candlenut dominant, mahogany dominant, mixed agroforestry, and simple agroforestry. From these patterns, mixed agroforestry seems to be the best practice in this area since it has complied with the principles of sustainable forest management both from the perspective of economic and the environment.
Dusun Pengantap merupakan salah satu dari 10 wilayah minapolitan rumput laut di NTB. Masyarakat Dusun Pengantap sebagian besar bermatapencaharian sebagai petani rumput laut. Disisi lain, bencana gempa bumi yang melanda pulau Lombok beberapa waktu lalu berdampak terhadap kapasitas produksi rumput laut pada dusun tersebut. Hal ini diperparah dengan kondisi masyarakat yang memiliki tingkat pendidikan yang rendah dan pasifnya kelompok rumput laut di Dusun Pengantap. Tujuan Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat adalah untuk menghidupkan kembali kelompok pengolahan rumput laut di Dusun Pengantap serta meningkatkan skill pengolahan rumput laut agar dapat memiliki value added. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan dengan sebuah program yang diberi nama BAKAT MILITAN EMAS (Bangun Masyarakat Minapolitan Rumput Laut Eucheuma Spinosum). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan selama 4 bulan agar dapat memberikan pendampingan intensif. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat terdiri atas kegiatan sosialisasi, pretest dan posttest dengan kuisioner, pelatihan dan pendampingan serta pemasaran. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat diikuti oleh 10 orang peserta dari Dusun Pengantap Kecamatan Sekotong Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berhasil diproduksikan sebuah produk Dodol Rumput Laut Tematik (DORATA) dengan berbagai varian bentuk, warna dan rasa.
The Sesaot forest area has been managed by the community through the Social Forestry scheme with an agroforestry system. The objectives of the study were to identify the diversity of agroforestry patterns, analyze incomes on various agroforestry patterns, analyze the amount of carbon stock and analyze the most optimal agroforestry patterns. The method used is descriptive through a series of observations, interviews and Focus Group Discussions, to 42 respondents and measurement of carbon stocks in 18 farmer locations. Analysis of agroforestry patterns was carried out by making clusters based on plant dominance, analyzing the amount of carbon using allometric equations and analyzing the optimal value of agroforestry patterns using scoring. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: there are four agroforestry patterns in the Sesaot Forest Area, namely, candlenut dominant agroforestry, mahogany dominant agroforestry, mixed agroforestry and simple agroforestry. The largest income was obtained in the mixed agroforestry pattern and the smallest was in the mahogany dominant. Meanwhile, the largest amount of carb on stock was found in the mahogany dominant and the smallest was in the simple agroforestry. The results of the scoring analysis show that mixed agroforestry practices are in the most optimal category compared to other agroforestry patterns.
