Abstract
The construction of drainage channels follows the opening of peat ecosystems without proper water management methods, resulting in reduced land cover and rapid decline in water level in peat swamp ecosystems, which can potentially cause fires. Peat land fires occur triggered by intentional or unintentional human negligence and are supported by a long dry season. The research aims to examine the potential of peat land fires based on the physical characteristics of peat on the type of use of secondary forest land, shrub land, and oil palm land. The study was conducted on peat ecosystems for one year using survey methods and field observations. The results of study indicate that changes in peat land use from secondary forests to shrubs and oil palm plantations result in changes in some physical characteristics of peat, namely humification level, bulk density, peat thickness, organic matter content, hydraulic conductivity, and soil water content. The depth of the ground water table affects the ground water content. Potential fires occur on oil palm land and on shrub land from July to September, whereas secondary forest land does not have the potential to cause fire. In order to avoid fires in oil palm and shrub land areas, it is necessary to manage water by maintaining the groundwater table above 50 cm.
