Abstract

Even though their role in mediating tropical peat decomposition and GHG emissions had been widely recognized, information concerning lignocellulolytic microbes, their degrading enzyme ability, and interconnection with soil physicochemical properties and peat heterotrophic respiration on mature oil palm plantation/OPP block level were rudimentary. This study evaluated the effect of sampling depth (0-30, 30-60, and 60-90 cm), OPP management zone (fertilization circle/FTC, frond stack/FRS, and harvesting path/HVP), and peat physicochemical properties on the lignocellulolytic bacteria and fungi, their degrading enzymes activities and peat heterotrophic respiration/Rh using principal component analysis/PCA, multiple linear regression/MLR, and generalized linear mixed effect models/GLMM. This study found that the soil microbiological and physicochemical properties varied widely. Dominant lignocellulolytic bacterial population and their cellulase enzyme activity were higher than fungi, regardless of sampling depth and management zone. PCA and GLMM analyses showed the significant importance of sampling depth and management zone in governing lignocellulolytic microbial population, their enzyme activities, and Rh. Microbial population and cellulase activity were also remarkably affected by the interaction of all studied factors. Peat chemical properties (pH and total Mn) controlled the natural variance of lignocellulolytic microbes and their enzymes, whereas total K regulate Rh. This study suggested that the research on microbiological-related GHG mitigation in OPP should be focused on managing the fungal population and cellulase enzyme activity at the peat surface (0-30 cm) and fertilization circle.

Abstract

Addressing food crises and land degradation potential requires multisteps agricultural development, including soil fertility assessment. This study evaluates sandy soil fertility status along a toposequence transect in Sandai District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan. Seven observation points (TP1, TP2, TP3, TK1, TK2, TK3, and TK4) were established, with soil samples collected from depths of 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm. Soil fertility assessment was conducted using three criteria: Five Major Soil Chemical Properties (FMSCP), Basic Cation Saturation Ratio (BCSR), and Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrients (SLAN). The FMSCP method exhibited low to very low fertility statuses, while the BCSR and SLAN methods revealed significant variations in soil fertility, ranging from deficient to excessive. Both the BCSR and SLAN methods demonstrated strong relationships with soil parent material and slope gradient, as evaluated through a multivariate approach. The BCSR method indicated deficient to balanced status at all profile points, whereas dominant balanced to excessive statuses were observed at all fertility points. The SLAN national criteria predominantly indicated deficient status for calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K), while the international criteria identified K deficiency only. This study served as forums to discuss fertility assessment in tropical soils. Also, recommends the potential for implementing the FMSCP criteria-based soil fertility assessment method for tropical Indonesian sandy soils and consider the involvement of balancing ratios in a more comprehensive soil fertility evaluation approach.

Abstract

Peatlands are characterized by the accumulation of decomposed plant remains, which result in an organic carbon content of approximately 16 percent and form a layer at least 40 cm thick. Peat ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity conservation, maintaining water availability, and regulating the climate. However, human activities threaten these functions, especially during the dry season, which often leads to extensive fires. Post-fire succession is a natural process through which the land attempts to restore its original state. Monitoring succession after peatland fires can be conducted using satellite-based remote sensing technology, which provides spatiotemporal information. This study utilized a time series of three Landsat satellites, namely Landsat 5 (TM), Landsat 8 (OLI), and Landsat 9 (OLI2), to monitor succession in burnt peat areas on Bengkalis Island from 2000 onward. Additionally, hotspot data from FIRMS NASA  and MODIS were incorporated. The results showed a total of 3,689 hotspots recorded between 2005 and 2023. The confirmed land cover types in the succession area include swamps, water bodies, and oil palm plantations. The information from this research is expected to inform policymaking by the government or peatland area managers, and serve as a reference for further studies.
