Abstract

Agroforestry has been promoted as a sustainable land-use model to reconcile agricultural production with ecosystem service provision. This study evaluates soil health indicators and their economic valuation in coffee agroforestry versus monoculture systems in Bener Meriah, Aceh, Indonesia. Forty soil samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, and biological parameters, including bulk density, porosity, soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), and soil organisms. Results indicate that coffee agroforestry consistently improves soil physical, chemical, and biological properties compared to monoculture systems, leading to enhanced carbon storage, nutrient retention, and hydrological regulation. These improvements translate into higher indirect economic values of ecosystem services, highlighting the multifunctional benefits of agroforestry for sustainable coffee production. These findings confirm that coffee agroforestry enhances soil health, supports multiple ecosystem services, and delivers higher economic benefits than monoculture. Agroforestry thus represents a multifunctional and sustainable landscape model for coffee production in tropical regions.

Abstract

Sinambela Village has a high potential for geological and hydrometeorological disasters. This is influenced by the biophysical conditions of the village. A significant portion of the community in Sinambela Village is not yet well educated about natural disasters and disaster mitigation. Therefore, disaster mitigation efforts are necessary, considering that floods and landslides have previously struck Simangulampe Village in Bakti Raja Sub-District, which is in the same district as Sinambela Village. This incident occurred on December 1, 2023, resulting in 12 people missing and one confirmed fatality. The primary cause of the flooding was heavy rainfall. In addition to hydrometeorological factors, flooding in Sinambela Village was also caused by various other factors, including sedimentation in the downstream section of the river, reduced vegetation cover in the upstream area, and river channel narrowing. Based on the situational analysis and the challenges faced by the community, it is crucial to build a society that is prepared for disasters, capable of anticipating them, and able to adapt to them an effort known as disaster mitigation. The proposed solution involves community involvement in disaster planning, emergency response, and post-disaster recovery. This community-based initiative is known as Disaster-Resilient Village (DESTANA). Given the increasing risks and challenges of hydrometeorological disasters, this study aims to ensure that the community remains alert and prepared to face potential hazards in their environment, enhances their ability to withstand threats, and strengthens their overall resilience.
