This study examines the effects of logging operations on sediment and solute yields

in four steep catchments referred to as the Sungai Weng Experimental Watersheds

located in Ulu Muda Forest Reserves Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia. Watershed 1

(W 1) is a control catchment where logging was not allowed throughout the period of

study. Watershed 2 (W2) was logged based on stringent guidelines as recommended

by the Forestry Department hitherto referred to as reduced impact logging (RIL).

Watershed 3 (W3) was logged based on conventional logging (CL) practices.

Watershed 5 (W5) is a bigger watershed, where the experimental basins are nested

within and selected to examine the downstream and cumulative effects of logging

operations including in those areas worked previously.

The general aim of this study was to compare the relative impacts of CL and RIL on

sediment output. In this study, the extent of sediment source areas in W2 and W3 in

the form of roads, skid trails and log landings and their implication on sediment

output was also examined. In W2, the logging roads density was 30 mlha, while the

density of skid trail was 68 mlha and the exposed area was 43 ha, about 5% of total

watershed area. In W3, the logging road density was 47 rnlha and the density of skid

trail was 10lmha; exposed area was 59 ha, about 9% of watershed area.

The most reliable and suitable method was chosen to determine the sediment yield

of the four catchments was estimated using data assembled for the rising and falling

discharge stages. In W 1, suspended sediment concentrations are high during storms

even though under natural forests. The peak concentrations sampled were between

1,278 to 1,896 mgll from 1997 to 2002 respectively. The annual sediment yields

were 160, 199, 148, 97, 79, and 80 t/km2/yr generated fiom 1997 to 2002

respectively.

During logging operations, in W2, the annual sediment yields significantly increased

from 176 to 1,15 1 t/km21yr in year 2000 and 2002 respectively. In W3, the sediment

yields increased dramatically to 2,133; 5,386; 4,501 t/km2/yr over the period of 1998

to 2000 respectively. After logging ceased, sediment yield decreased to 869 and 684

t/km2/yr from 2001 and 2002 respectively. Sediment yield in W5 was much less

even though, the sediment yields fiom the experimental watersheds W3, in particular

was high. Depositions of sediment along the stream channel leading to the gauging

site of W5 and dilution from upstream channels were the main reason for the lower

yield. Therefore, in W5 the sediment yield was contributing 143, 284, 829,458, 178,

and 163 tlkm2/yr, in over the six-year period from 1997 to 2002 respectively.

Stream water quality was measured in each study watershed and the results revealed

that solute loads were much lower than sediment loads. In W1, the annual solute

yields were 12.5, 13.5, 20.1, 14.8, 13.7, and 13.8 tlkm2/yr generated from 1997 to

2002 respectively. During logging operations, in W2, solute yields were 20.3, 13.4,

11.3 t h 2 / y r , for the year 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. In W3, solute out put

was 30.8, 27.0 and 20.0 t/lun21yr. However, the annual sediment yields appeared to

have declined to 18.0 and 14.2 tkm2/yr, in the following two years 2001 and 2002,

respectively. In W5, solute out put was contributing 17.5, 16.8, 27.0, 25.4, 23.1 and

17.3 tlkm2/yr, in over the six-year period from 1997 to 2002.

The results of the study suggest that with proper control measures, the effects of

logging on sediment loads in particular, can be substantially reduced. The increase

of sediment yield in W2 to l , l5 1 t/km21yr in 2002 with 80% the study watershed

was logged suggests that RIL exerted significant influence on sediment output. With

respect to pre-logging or control conditions, the analyses suggest that conventional

logging can results in over 40 times the sediment yield during the logging

operations. The positive effects of RIL can be achieved through carehl planning,

scheduling and control of logging operations.

KESAN-KESAN OPERAS1 PENUAIAN HUTAN KE ATAS MENDAPAN MAMPAT DAN MUATAN BAHAN KIMIA DI KAWASAN KAJIAN

'TADAHAN AIR SUNGAI WENG, KEDAH, SEMENANJUNG MALAYSIA.

Pengerusi: Profesor Madya Lai Food See, PhD

Fakulti: Perhutanan

Kajian ini adalah untuk mengenalpasti kesan-kesan operasi pembalakan ke atas

pemendapan mendapan di empat lokasi kawasan kajian tadahan air yang curam yang

terletak di Hutan Simpan Ulu Muda, Kedah, Semenanjung Malaysia. Tadahan air 1

(Wl) adalah sebagai tadahan air kawalan di mana pembalakan tidak dibenarkan

sepanjang tempoh kajian. Tadahan air 2 (W2) adalah kawasan yang telah dibalak

mengikut garispanduan yang ketat yang disyorkan oleh Jabatan Perhutanan iaitu

mengurangkan kesan pembalakan (Reduced Impact Loging). Tadahan air 3 (W3)

adalah kawasan dibalak berdasarkan kepada a m a h pembalakan konvensional

(Conventional logging). Tadahan air 5 (W5) adalah kawasan tadahan air yang besar,

di mana lembah kajian yang dipilih dan diasingkan kepada beberapa bahagian untuk

Page 8: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA EFFECTS OF FOREST …psasir.upm.edu.my/6090/1/FH_2005_1(1-24).pdf · Kajian ini adalah untuk mengenalpasti kesan-kesan operasi pembalakan ke atas pemendapan

mengkaji kesan-kesan hiliran dan kumulatif operasi pembalakan termasuk dalam

kawasan yang telah dikerjakan sebelum ini.

Tujuan umum kajian ini adalah untuk membandingkan impak relatif (CL) dan (RIL)

ke atas keluaran mendapan. Dalam kajian ini, perkembangan kawasan-kawasan

sumber mendapan dalam W2 dan W3 dalam bentuk jalan utama, jalan penarik dan

matau balak dan implikasinya keatas keluaran mendapan juga dikaji. Dalam W2,

kepadatan jalan-jalan pembalakan adalah 30m/ha, manakala kepadatan jalan penarik

adalah 68mha dan kawasan lapang terbuka adalah 43 ha, kira-kira 5% daripada

keseluruhan kawasan tadahan. Dalam W3, kepadatan jalan pembalakan adalah

47mlha dan kepadatan jalan penarik adalah 10 1 m/ha, kawasan terdedah adalah 59 ha

kira-kira 9% daripada kawasan tadahan.

Kaedah yang boleh dipercayai dan sesuai dipilih bagi menentukan hasil mendapan

bagi keempat-empat tadahan air seterusnya dianggarkan dengan menggunakan data

gabungan peringkat kenaikan dan kejatunan bahan buangan. Dalam W1, kepekatan

mendapan adalah tinggi semasa ribut walaupun di hutan asli. Sampel yang

mempunyai kepekatan puncak adalah 160, 199,148,97,79 d m 80 t/km21yr didapati

daripada 1997 hingga 2002.

Semasa operasi pembalakan, dalarn W2 hasil mendapan tahunan meningkat dengan

Sangay bererti dari 176 ke 1,15 1 80 t/km2/tahun masing-masing pada tahun 2000

dan 2002. Dalam W3, hasil mendapan tahunan adalah meningkat secara mendadak

vi

ke 2,133; 5,386; 4,501 80 t/km2/tahun iaitu masing-masing dalam jangka masa tahun

1998 dan 2000. Selepas pembalakan, hasil mendapan berkurangan dari 869 ke 684

80 t/km21yr iaitu pada tahun 2001 dan 2002. Hasil mandapan di W5 adalah

berkurangan walaupun hasil mendapan di kawasan kajian tadahan di W3 adalah

tinggi. Pembuangan mendapan di sepanjang laluan air mengakibatkan kawasan

'gauging' di W5 dan pelarutan mendapan dari kawasan tadahan air atas adalah

alasan utama menyebabkan kesan mendapan yang rendah. Walaubagaimanapun, di

W5 hasil mendapan menyumbang sebanyak 143, 284, 829, 458, 178 dan 163 80

t/km21yr dalam jangkamasa 6 tahun daripada tahun 1997 hingga 2002.

Keputusan kualiti air sungai diukur dalam setiap kajian tadahan air menunjukkan

muatan bahan kimia adalah terlalu rendah daripada muatan mendapan. Di W1,

penghasilan bahan kimia tahunan menyumbang kepada12.5, 13.5, 20.1, 14.8, 13.7

dan 13.8 t/km2/tahun daripada tahun 1997 hingga 2002. Di W2, tiga tahun pertama

sebelum operasi pembalakan, keluaran 'solute" adalah 18.6, 13.3, 28.5 t/km2/tahun

untuk tahun 2000, 2001 dan 2002. Di W3, keluaran 'solute' hhdala 30.8, 27.0 dan

20.0 80 t/km2/tahun pada dua tahun berikutnya pada tahun 2001 dan 2002. Di W5,

keluaran 'solute' menyumbang kepada 17.5 16.8, 27.0, 25.4, 23.1 dan 17.3 80

t/km2/tahun dalam tempoh enam tahun iaitu dari 1997 hingga 2002.

Keputusan kajian mengesyorkan bahawa perlunya kawalan yang sempurna

terutamanya bagi mengurangkan kesan mendapan akibat aktiviti pembalakan.

Pertarnbahan hasil mendapan di W2 sehingga 1,151 t/km2/tahun dalarn tahun 2002

dengan meliputi 80% kajian tadahan pembalakan menunjukkan RIL 'exerted'

menyebabkan perbezaan yang bererti ke atas keluaran mendapan. Berdasarkan

kepada keadaan sebelum pembalakan atau kawalan kajian, analisa mencadangkan

pembalakan konvensional akan menghasilkan lebih 40 kali hasil mendapan semasa

operasi pembalakan. Walaubagaimanapun, dalam peringkat yang tertentu, RIL boleh

dicapai melalui perancangan yang berhati-hati, penjadualan dan kawalan operasi

pembalakan.
