Abstract

Mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in forest ecosystems, facilitating nutrient uptake and enhancing plant health. These symbiotic relationships are vital for the resilience and productivity of forests, yet their contributions to ecosystem health remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the specific roles of mycorrhizal fungi in promoting forest ecosystem health by assessing their impact on nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant diversity. A combination of field surveys and laboratory analyses was employed, focusing on various forest types with differing mycorrhizal associations. Data were collected on soil properties, fungal biodiversity, and plant growth metrics. The results indicate that forests with diverse mycorrhizal communities exhibit improved soil health, characterized by higher nutrient levels and better moisture retention. Additionally, these forests support greater plant diversity and demonstrate enhanced resilience to environmental stressors. The findings underscore the importance of mycorrhizal fungi in maintaining forest ecosystem health and highlight the need for conservation strategies that protect these critical organisms. In conclusion, mycorrhizal fungi are essential for nutrient cycling and overall forest vitality, suggesting that their preservation should be a key component of forest management practices.

Abstract

Background. Food security is a critical issue in Indonesia, where the Navy possesses logistical infrastructure suitable for distribution but faces significant legal and institutional barriers. The Kodaeral v Surabaya case exemplifies legal ambiguities that limit the Navy’s involvement in non-traditional security sectors. Purpose. This study aims to analyze how existing legal frameworks can be restructured to formalize and integrate the Indonesian Navy’s role into the national food security strategy, especially during emergencies. Method. A qualitative approach was employed, combining the legal analysis of court rulings and policy documents with interviews with defense and food security experts. Results. The findings indicate that the absence of a formal legal mandate limits the Navy’s operational capacity in food security operations, despite its established logistical capabilities. Conclusion. Legal reforms are necessary to integrate the Navy into national resilience strategies, enabling a comprehensive approach that enhances their contribution to national welfare.
