Abstract

Land clearing and drainage activities on peatlands had boosted the decomposition rate of organic matter, caused by an increase in soil temperature and soil microbial activity. Enzyme activity is a sensitive indicator to measure changes in the decomposition process. The enzyme activity associated with the decomposition of organic matter is Laccase. This research aimed to study Laccase as an indicator of lignin degradation in several types of peatland use in Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra, namely forests, shrubs, oil palm plantations, agricultural land, and bare land. The Laccase activity was measured by using the ABTS method. The results of our study show that Laccase activity in several types of peatland use from the highest to the lowest follows the order: agricultural land (LP) 3.20 μg.g-1.hour-1 > bare land (LT) 1.46 μg.g-1.hour-1 > shrub (SB) 1.17 μg.g-1.hour-1 > smallholder oil palm plantation (PSr) 0.66 μg.g-1.hour-1 > private company oil palm plantation (PSs) 0.70 μg.g-1.hour-1 > forest (H) 0.06 μg.g-1.hour-1. Soil characteristics that affect the enzyme activity are water content, which is negatively correlated with the Laccase enzyme. The higher the water content in the peat material, the lower the Laccase activity. Therefore, it is necessary to control the soil water content high to prevent the rate of peat decomposition. Keywords: Laccase, enzyme, oil palm plantation, land use, peatland.

Abstract

The widespread use of glyphosate to eradicate weeds in agricultural areas has the potential for contamination and residues in the soil that must be carefully considered. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of glyphosate contamination on the chemical properties of an Inceptisol ameliorated with sub-bituminous coal. This study used a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications, namely A = control (soil with no glyphosate and sub-bituminous coal), B = 5 kg soil + 100 mg glyphosate L-1, and C = 5 kg soil + 40 t sub-bituminous coal ha-1 + 100 mg glyphosate L-1. The results showed that glyphosate contamination significantly affected pH, electrical conductivity (EC), mineral and organic matter (OM) composition, cation exchange capacity (CEC), organic carbon (OC), total N, and available P of an Inceptisol ameliorated with sub-bituminous coal. The application of 40 t sub-bituminous coal ha-1 as an alternative ameliorant improved pH H2O by 0.30, EC by 0.05 dS m-1, OM by 1.03%, CEC by 18.08 cmol(+) kg-1,  OC by 1.16%,  total N by 0.20% and available P by 5.47 ppm of the soil compared to the control. The residual glyphosate concentration in the soil ameliorated with sub-bituminous coal was 0.04 mg kg-1 compared to the initial glyphosate concentration of 100 mg L-1. The correlation between glyphosate residue had no significant relationship with the chemical properties of an Inceptisol ameliorated with sub-bituminous coal.

Abstract

Optimizing the potential utilization of low-rank coal, such as sub-bituminous coal (SC), can improve and maintain soil quality and productivity through amelioration technology. This potential is especially in controlling heavy metals such as Hg. This study aimed to examine the geochemistry of SC and the adsorption mechanism of Hg with SC through an adsorption isotherm model approach developed for experimental equilibrium. The geochemical of SC has an atomic composition of C (43.60%), O (40.64%), N (11.96%), Si (1.57%), Al (1.06%), Ca (0.92%), Mg (0.14%) and K (0.11%) and oxide composition dominated by SiO2 (57.07%), as well as O-H and N-H functional groups, C-H C-H, C=C-H, C=O, and C=C-H and minerals (quartz, magnetite, mica and muscovite). Characteristics of SC have a proximate composition (16.99% moisture, 97.81% volatile matter, 69.63% ash, and 28.19% fixed carbon) and chemical properties of pH, EC, CEC, OC, and total N (5.23, 1.38 dS m-1, 35.33 cmol(+) kg-1, 9.81% C,  and 0.16% N). The adsorption capacity and coefficient of Hg2+ by SC were 304.32 mg g-1 and 78.67 L kg-1 at pH 1.26 and Hg2+ concentration 100 mg L-1 with a removal efficiency of 76.08%. Hg2+ adsorption isotherms occurred in Langmuir (RL = 0.97 and R² = 1)>Freundlich (1/n = 1.05 and R² = 0.9999) models. The application of 40 t SC ha-1 on ex-gold mining soil contaminated with Hg significantly decreased the total Hg in the soil by 2.50 mg kg-1 and a removal efficiency of 36.37% with increased pH H2O (0.35), OC (0.041% C), and CEC 2.14 cmol(+) kg-1, compared to control.

Abstract

The decline in production prices and land ownership shifts have caused people to choose to convert oil palm plantations into corn plantations. Changes in land cover from plantation crops to annual crops is potentially to reduce the chemical properties of peat. This study aims to identify changes in the chemical properties of peat on land for conversion of oil palm to corn plantations. This research was carried out from May to September 2021. Observations and peat sampling were carried out using the Transect method, perpendicular from the drainage channel based on a distance of 2m, 200m, and 400m from the main canal in maize conversion age < 2 years, (3) maize planting aged conversion 2 years. For each land use, 3 sample points were taken with 2 replications at a depth of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. The chemical properties of peatlands that have been converted from oil palm plantations to corn plantations include pH 4.18-4.98, water content 163.76-495.81%, ash content 15.5-72.12%, C-Organic 16.18-49.02%, N-Total 1.25-6.92%, P-Total 5.56-255.87 ppm, P-Available 0.63-157.43 ppm, K-dd 0, 38-1.98 me/100g, Na-dd 3.97-13.84 me/100g, Ca-dd 12.26-23.12 me/100g, Mg-dd 14.66-50.84 me/100g , CEC 63.30-498.16 me/100g, total acidity 570-600 cmol/kg-1. After land conversion, the quality of peatlands increased, especially at the age of conversion <2 years and decreased with increasing age of land conversion.

Abstract

The aim of the research was to study enzyme activity as biosensors for peatland degradation in oil palm plantations. The study was conducted in Pesisir Selatan,West Sumatra, on two peatlands with different thicknesses and location coordinates, namely peat with a thickness of <3 m S: 02o18'45.5", 101o00’37.3” and peat with a thickness >3 m S: 02o20’07.5”, E: 101o00’22”. The oil palm in these two locations is 11 years old (planting year of 2007). Observations and sampling of peatlands were carried out on the plantation blocks using the transect method. The transect was set perpendicular to the drainage canal. Peat samples were collected outside the roots (non-rhizosphere) of oil palm. Observation sites were at a distance of 5, 15, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 m from the edge of the drainage canal and at the thickness of the root layer of 0-25 and 25-50 cm. Peat characteristics observed were water table level, laccase activity, water content, pH, total Fe, and Cu. The water table level in one transect ranged from 60-80 cm and was still within tolerable limits. The laccase activity as a peat degradation biosensor in oil palm plantations in Pesisir Selatan peatland was higher in the 0-25cm layer with an average of <0.5 µmol/g. The increase in water content decreased the laccase activity along with increasing of the distance from the drainage canal and the thickness of the peat layer. The increase in Fe and Cu resulted from increased levels of ash, particularly in peat with a thickness of <3 m, may suppress laccase activity. Peatland in the oil palm plantation of Pesisir Selatan is still relatively stable despite the decomposition processes characterized by laccase activity as a biosensor for peat degradation.

Abstract

Research on peatlands has become increasingly interesting in recent years, particularly in tropical regions. In these regions, including Indonesia, peatlands develop over sand and clay substrata and are widely utilized for oil palm cultivation. However, the influence of substratum type on palm yield remains poorly understood. This study aimed to a) investigate the morphological and physical characteristics of peat soils formed over sand and clay substrata and b) examine the relationship between peat soil substratum types (sand and clay) and oil palm production. Soil samples were collected from three blocks of an oil palm plantation in Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra, and then were analyzed in a soil laboratory. Additionally, fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield data from the past six years for each block were also collected from the plantation records. The results indicated that peat soil formed over clay substratum (L) was more mature (sapric), with lower fiber content, higher ash content, lower organic matter content, higher moisture content, and higher pH compared to peat soils formed over sand substratum (P1 and P2). The average annual fresh fruit bunch production from palms cultivated on peat soil with a clay substratum (19.68-20.85 t/ha/yr) was 11-16% higher than that of palms on peat soil with sand substratum (23.52 t/ha/yr). Among the peat soil properties analyzed, water content, ash content, and soil pH had the most significant positive effects on oil palm production. These findings highlight the critical role of substratum type in influencing oil palm yield.
