ABSTRACT
Human activities in peatlands, such as cultivation and recreation, can influence ecosystem productivity and carbon emissions by altering the water table levels. Elevated water tables maintain anoxic conditions within the peat, which slows decomposition and promotes peat accumulation. In the context of land suitability, data is required to match criteria to appropriate crops. This study aims to evaluate the land suitability for pineapple cultivation in peatlands. It is expected that the findings will support various conservation activities and land utilization, especially for pineapple crops, in efforts toward sustainable peatland rehabilitation. The research method employs classification and matching techniques. Field sampling was conducted using direct observation methods, while laboratory testing followed established guidelines. The results indicate that peat depth is a limiting factor in sample codes D1, D2, and D3. Peat maturity levels present limitations for most sample codes, except for D1, D3, and P3. Issues related to flood hazard height were identified in peatland areas undergoing restoration in Perigi Village, where sample codes D1 and D3 have water table heights above the ground surface. Based on the potential land suitability, land improvement recommendations include adding lime and fertilizer and canal revitalization.
