Abstract

Abstract
This research was aimed to analyze the CO
2
emissions due to forest fires that occurred in
Siak Regency, Riau Province Indonesia in 2010 and to analyze the probability of forest fire
occurrence in Siak Regency using the available data. Fire and CO2 emissions in the area of
plantation forests are greater than in the area of natural forests. The amount of CO
2
emissions
due to forest fires in 2010 varied between 107.260 Ton CO2 yr-1 in natural forests and
151.600 Ton CO2 yr-1 in plantation forests. The amount of CO
2
emissions due to forest fires in
the peat land was 2.176 Ton CO2 yr-1. This value is mainly depending on the extent of the
burned area in the year of 2010. Results of the logistic regression show the forest fires are
more likely to occur in degraded forests.
