Abstract

Pante Bayam is one of natural mangrove area in Aceh Province. Due toanthropogenic activities such as fishpond, the area become degradated. This studyaims to analyze soil organic carbon (SOC) stock based on soil depth and texturecharacteristics at several observation points in the study area. Data were collectedfrom seven sample locations with four categories of soil depth: 0–15 cm, 15–30cm, 30–50 cm, and 50–100 cm. The results showed that the highest carbon stockwas found at a depth of 50–100 cm, reaching 159.1 Mg C/ha, while the 15–30 cmlayer had the lowest carbon stock. This indicates that the subsoil plays a significantrole in long-term carbon storage. The distribution of carbon stocks also variedbetween locations, where PB04 and PB07 showed the highest values, while PB05and PB06 showed the lowest. Correlation analysis showed a positive relationshipbetween clay content and soil carbon stock, indicating that fine soil texturesupports carbon accumulation through the formation of stable aggregates. Thesefindings emphasize the importance of soil management that considers soil depthand physical characteristics to increase the potential for climate change mitigationthrough sustainable soil carbon storage

Abstract

Mangrove forests are important ecosystems. However, land conversion and degradation have destroyed a significant area of mangrove. Mangrove restoration employing native species has been performed in several degraded areas, including some North Sumatra regions. However, information regarding floristic diversity in monoculture restoration areas is still limited. This research aims to analyze the floristic diversity in the mangrove restoration area, which is dominated by Soneratia alba species in Pasar Rawa Village, North Sumatra. The plotted path approach was employed for vegetation analysis in a 3-ha area in Pasar Rawa. The findings revealed that 8 (eight) species were found in the S. alba restoration area. The highest Important Value Index (IVI) in the seedling stage was found in Acanthus ilicifolius, while at the sapling and tree stages, S. alba was the highest. The highest diversity index was obtained at the sapling stage, which was 1.46 (medium), and the lowest was obtained at the tree stages, which were 0.26 (low). The result showed a new recruitment of seedlings in the research location, although the species diversity value is still lower. The appearance of new species, particularly pioneer species, in the research area indicates that natural succession processes are currently taking place.

Abstract

The diverse forests in Indonesia require proper management to preserve their delicate ecosystems. Limited production forests (HPT) are prone to damage and require careful rehabilitation to restore them to their original state. Native tree species such as Shorea leprosula are essential for the success of land and forest rehabilitation in HPT areas. This study aimed to assess the potential of S. leprosula species for HPT rehabilitation by examining its growth in the Gunung Dahu Research Forest (GDRF) by measuring the percentage of live plants, tree growth, and soil improvements under S. leprosula stand in sloping land. The results showed that S. leprosula had fast (1.25 cm/year) to very fast (1.79 cm/year) diameter growth, a dense canopy cover with a leaf area index of 2.88, and improved soil physical (soil moisture of 55.54%, topsoil thickness of 6.2 cm, and litter thickness of 16 cm) and chemical properties (pH of 5.2, soil organic carbon of 3.85, total nitrogen of 0.3, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 12.8, available phosphorus of 35.3, and exchangeable potassium of 0.76). Therefore, the successful rehabilitation of S. leprosula in GDRF indicates that it can potentially rehabilitate other HPT areas with similar environmental and site conditions.

Abstract

The sustainable cultivation of Cinnamomum burmannii in tropical regions requires a thorough understanding of soil properties and rainfall patterns, as these factors critically influence nutrient availability, plant growth, and long-term productivity. This study evaluates the soil properties and climatic conditions of Sawahan Village, Mandailing Natal Regency, to assess their suitability for the cultivation of C. burmannii. Soil samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics, including organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, exchangeable aluminum, macro- and micronutrients, and soil texture. Rainfall data over 25 years were also examined to understand the water availability and potential influence on soil fertility. The results indicate that the soils possess moderate organic matter and nutrient content, slightly acidic to near-neutral pH, absence of exchangeable aluminum toxicity, and a sandy loam texture conducive to drainage and root growth. The region experiences high and well-distributed rainfall, which supports perennial crop development but may increase nutrient leaching in sandy soils. These findings suggest that Sawahan Village provides favorable conditions for C. burmannii cultivation, provided that sustainable soil management practices, such as organic amendments, balanced fertilization, and erosion control, are implemented. The study highlights the importance of integrating climatic and soil assessments to optimize cinnamon productivity and provides baseline data for future land management and agroforestry planning in tropical regions.

Abstract

Mangrove forests play an important role in macrozoobenthos ecology, assisting them in foraging, sheltering, and reproduction. In order to better understanding the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of macrozoobenthos, the mitochondrial 16S subunit (16S rRNA) gene was used. Present study aimed to determine genetic diversity and community structure of macrozoobenthos in the North Sumatra and Aceh mangrove forests, Indonesia. The reliaprep gDNA tissue miniprep system kit was used to extract 50 samples. To determine the PCR product's molecular weight, UVITEX software was employed. Genetic polymorphism was examined with GenAlex version 6.502, and each community underwent principal coordinates analysis (PCoA). MVSP 3.2.2 software and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) were used to construct the dendrogram. The 16S rRNA gene revealed a band size in the range of 370–500 bp. The PCoA showed that approximately all individual macrozoobenthos from each community structure were localized in the same quadrant. Genetic variation was varied by 3% between populations and 97.5% within individuals according to the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), with the dendrogram classifying the populations into two major clusters. Dendrogram analysis showed low genetic differentiation between macrozoobenthos populations of North Sumatra and the Aceh mangroves, implying the low ability of individuals in a population to adapt. The high polymorphic information content (PIC) value (0.886) reported was consistent with the number of alleles and size of the population's heterozygosity value. Present findings provide important information that will assist in formulation of mangrove conservation and restoration approaches.

Abstract

Selection high resin candidate P.merkusii is a series of breeding activities to get high resin production trait of pine trees.  In selection process of candidate tress, genetic diversity plays  very important role because higher genetic diversity will give higher opportunity to get source of genes for improved trait. Selection activities of high resin yielder candidates were started  in 2006 through a series of survey activity and morphological identification of candidate trees with high resin production. Specific information about traits genetically related to resin production in Cijambu Seedling Seed Orchard is still not determined yet , although based on resin distribution trend this SSO has the highest mean of resin production.  In this study, progenies planted in 1978 -1983 were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of previous selection, as well as the value of heritability and phenotypic traits that allegedly related with resin production. The results showed high value of coefficient genetic variation (CVG:16.08%), narrow sense heritability values for resin production trait (0.65) and resemble with previous research. This indicates that genetic factor was  dominant for resin production and selection activities has been done for 30 years was effective to get high yielder superior candidate.  Bark thickness, crown length and stem diameter trait was positively significant correlated to resin production, whereas level of pests and diseases was negatively significant correlated to resin production, it is possible that  the trait related with lighting conditions that supporting photosynthesis process and number of resin duct in the wood.  Key words: Selection, high resin yielder, P. merkusii, variation, heritability,phenotypic

Abstract

Mindi (Melia azedarach) is a fast-growing woody plant with potential for community forest development. Mindi wood is used to furniture material, parquet, fancy plywood, and fancy laminated veneer, and it is also exported. Although the community forest in Deli Serdang Regency is established as a seed source for mindi in North Sumatra, information on its diversity is still lacking. The aim of this research was to get information about morphological differentiation of mindi in Deli Serdang Regency. Direct observation and measurement on morphological and growth character of mindi had been conducted in three populations of community forest in Deli Serdang Regency. Those were Percut Sei Tuan population, Biru-Biru population, and Pancur Batu population. The result showed that of 19 observed morphological characters, there were two characters: number of leave and fruit weight able to differentiate the populations”individual tree from three population clustering into three groups. The first cluster consists of 35 individual trees from Percut Sei Tuan (7 trees), Biru-Biru (12 trees), and Pancur Batu (16 trees). The second cluster consist of 24 trees originated from Percut Sei Tuan (13 trees), Biru-Biru (8 trees), and Pancur Batu (3 trees). A third cluster consists of one tree from Pancur Batu.
