Abstract

Peat nutrient dynamics research was intended to study the characteristics and distribution of macro nutrients in peat water and peat in secondary forests, shrubs and oil palm plantations. This research was conducted with purposive sampling method. Observations on oil palm plantations were carried out at three ages of oil palm (5, 12, and 16 years). Secondary forest and shrub peatlands were used as a comparison. Sampling of peat water and peat was carried out during the rainy and dry season, at four distances from the collection drain (25, 50, 75, and 150 m). The results showed that nutrient levels in peat water during the dry season were greater than the wet season. The status of peat water and peat nutrients in secondary forests and shrubs is relatively the same as that of oil palm plantations that were fertilized. Seasonal, land use and distance from the collection channel differences did not have a major influence on the distribution and characteristics of macro nutrients on peat. The macro nutrients content of peat water and peat, however, showed an increase with the distance from the collection channel.

Abstract

Nowadays, halting greenhouse gasses (GHG) emission is the world's major concern to mitigate global climate change. In oil palm cultivated tropical peatland, GHG emission is primarily constituted of CO2 flux emitted from aerobic heterotrophic respiration (Rh), the natural degradation process of organic material in an oxidative environment. By coupling descriptive and predictive statistical approaches, this study attempt to gain an in-depth understanding of the effects of zeolite rates and incubation time on CO2 emission that came from aerobic Rh in peat, as well as their decomposition process. This study found that zeolite amelioration up to 30% of the peat at field capacity and starting from the first month of observation (month-1) significantly restricted peat Rh, denoted by a reduced amount of observed CO2 flux (0.021 and 0.019-0.012 mg m-2 sec-1, respectively). Both factors and several soil variables exhibited some non-linear relationships with Rh at different magnitudes and importance, showing the limitation of the traditional linear-based approach to interpreting their complex interrelationships, as well as predicting CO2 flux. This study highlights the vital role of a polynomial (GAM) and artificial intelligence (Cubist and GBM) -based pedotransfer models in improving our understanding regarding the dynamic of the peat decomposition process as affected by zeolite amendment.

Abstract

Determining the oil palm dead roots contribution to total (Rt) and heterotrophic (Rh) respiration as a source of greenhouse gas/GHG emission in tropical peatland is urgently required, as well as predicting their magnitude to cope with difficulties of direct in-situ measurement. This study is designed to simulate the CO2 flux emitted from oil palm dead roots/Rdr in tropical peatland as affected by water content/WC and residence time/RT. The dead oil palm roots were cleaned, treated with control/15, 100, 150, 300, and 450%WC, and then incubated for three months. CO2 flux measurement, C, N, and CN ratio determination were conducted every month. This study demonstrated the importance Rdr among other CO2 emission sources, ranging from 0.05-2.3 Mg CO2 ha-1 year-1 with an average of 0.7 Mg CO2 ha-1 year-1. Rdr contribution for literature Rt and Rh were around 0.3 to 1.3 and 0.9 to 3.5%, respectively. As a product of microbial respiration, Rdr was affected by WC and RT, supported by analysis of variance, linear mixed effect model/REML, and multivariate analysis. 100-150%WC resulting in significant and highest Rdr, whereas the increase (300-450%WC) or decrease (15%WC) would generate lower emission. Rdr culminated in the first month after incubation; meanwhile, it declined in the following months. This study also emphasized non-linear relationships between CO2 flux and other root properties, which can be modeled conveniently using non-linear approach, particularly using polynomial and artificial intelligence-based models. The simulation presented in this study served as an initial attempt to separate Rdr from Rh, as well as to predict CO2 flux with reasonable accuracy and interpretable methods.

Abstract

Peatland fire that occurred in 2018 are located in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. The fire was claimed to cause the changes leading to peatland damage. The initial study based on samples collected in fire period reported that there were some changes of chemical properties leading to peatland damage. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of land fires on changes in some soil chemical properties after two years of fires. Soil samples of fired and unfired peatland were subjected to soil analyses. Soil analyses covered soil pH, organic carbon (C), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and bulk density (BD). The results showed that after two years of peatland fires did not affect the changes of peat soil pH, organic C, P, Ca, Mg, K, Cu, Zn, Mn and BD. One plot of fired peatland showed that the weight of frond and leaf area of oil palm grown on it was not statistically different from those of unfired peatland. The results suggested some chemical properties return to previous equilibrium due to high buffering capacity of peat soil.

Abstract

Fire and its associated impact highly affect peatland, particularly the peat properties, the plant cultivated above it, and its surrounding environment. Despite much research focused on fire monitoring or susceptibility assessments, peat consumption during fire occurrence, emissions from burned peat, and rehabilitation or restoration of burned peat, little attention is given to studying the changes of peat bio-physicochemical after burning. This small-scale study aims to examine the fire’ effect on the upper 30 cm of peat’s bio-physicochemical properties two months after being burned, using unburned peat as a reference. The result of this study indicated that fire-affected peat at all of our sampling depths. The impacted changes on peat chemical variables were varied. This study also found that sampling methods, fire magnitude and severity, peat physicochemical properties, laboratory determination, and statistical analyses were paramount in examining the fire effect on peat properties. This study also promotes the combination approach that represents both local and global phenomena to analyze and interpret the change of burned peat properties from its initial unburned state. More efforts are required to verify the initial results reported in this study and to gain in-depth information concerning the intricate relationships of organic materials, climate, hydrology, and vegetation across spatial and temporal scales in cultivated tropical peat as affected by fire events.

Abstract

The capability of machine learning/ML algorithms to analyze the effect of human and environmental factors and variables in controlling soil nutrients has been profoundly studied over the last decades. Unfortunately, ML utilization to estimate macronutrients and their governing factors in cultivated tropical peat soil are extremely scarce. In this study, we trained regression tree/RT, ML-based pedotransfer models to predict total N, P, and K in peat soils based on oil palm/OP and OP+bush datasets. Our results indicated that the dataset might contain outliers, non-linear relationships, and heteroscedasticity, allowing RT-based models to perform better compared to multiple linear regression/MLR models (as a benchmark) in estimating total N and P in both datasets, contrastingly, not in K. The difference of important variables in each RT-based model partially showed the vital role of land use in nutrient modeling in peat. The depth of sample collection, organic C, and ash content became the prominent factor and variables in regulating the entire predicted nutrients. Meanwhile, the distance from the oil palm tree and pH were the salient features of total P prediction models in OP and OP+bush sites, respectively. This study proposed employing ML-based pedotransfer models in analyzing and interpreting complex tropical peat data as an alternative to linear-based regression. Our initial study also shed more light on the development possibility of the pedotransfer models that agricultural practician, researchers, companies, and farmers can use to predict macronutrients, both in tabular and spatial terms, in cultivated tropical peatlands

Abstract

Oil palm plantation on peatlands is considered to contribute to increasing global warming by releasing CO2 as one of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The addition of ameliorants, such as biochar and zeolite, can absorb CO2 from soil respiration and store and filter it in their molecular pores. This research aimed to study the effect of ameliorant application on the CO2 flux, water content, microbial population, and enzyme activities. Ameliorant was applied to peat soil with two factors. The first factor was an ameliorant combination with 6 treatment levels: control (A0); zeolite (A1); biochar (A2); zeolite:biochar 75:25; zeolite:biochar 25:75; zeolite:biochar 50:50, and the second factor was 3 levels dose of treatment (% w/w): 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%. Peat flux CO2 and water content were measured monthly for four months in the laboratory. Without mixing with biochar (A1), the results showed that zeolite suppressed CO2 flux and suppressed the decrease of water content better than other ameliorant combinations. However, different ameliorant dosage percentages did not show any significant results. Ameliorant application and incubation affected the microbial population and enzyme activities, and the results were varied. Chemical characteristics changed after 4 months of incubation. In conclusion, our results indicate that only zeolite amendment can suppress CO2 flux and decrease water content but did not affect microbial population dynamics and enzyme activities. Keywords: ameliorant, CO2 flux, enzyme activities, lignocellulolytic microbes, peat

Abstract

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer of the urea type is very commonly used in Indonesia. The demand for this fertilizer is expected to increase, so an alternative is needed as a complement. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is a by-product produced in the soda ash industry. This compound contains 26% N, which can be an alternative source of N nutrients for plants. The level of the following element, namely chlorine (Cl), is relatively high, so it is a concern that might affect the plant growth. This field experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of the application of ammonium chloride combined with potash fertilizers on the growth, production, and uptake of N and Cl nutrients in sweet corn plants. The trial was designed in a randomized group with nine treatments of 0%, 100%, 150%, and 200% N, combined with potassium sources from KCl and K2SO4. As a comparison, the source of N is urea at a dose of 100% N is referred to as the standard N treatment. Parameters observed included plant height, the weight of corn cobs and corn stover, N and Cl nutrient uptakes in seeds, leaves, and stems. The results showed that the application of ammonium chloride combined with different K sources markedly affected plant height, cob and plant stover weight, and N and Cl uptakes of sweet corn compared to controls. Applying N-ammonium chloride with KCl and K2SO4 showed no significant effect in growth and yield compared to standard N. The N dose showed no significant effect on plant growth and yield compared to the standard N dose. Keywords: by-product, nitrogen fertilizer, soda ash

Abstract

Intensive land use in the long term can cause land degradation, affecting soil fertility, especially on Vertic Endoaquepts in Pati that have been managed as rainfed rice fields. The characteristics of rainfed rice fields are low nutrient availability and rice yields. This study aimed to determine the effect of tillage depth management and soil ameliorants on nutrient availability, plant uptake, and rice yield in rainfed rice fields. The field experiment that was conducted at farmer’s field used a split-plot design. The main plot was the treatment of tillage depth treatments (OT), with depths of 10 cm (T1) and 20 cm (T2). The subplots were ameliorant treatments (A), consisting of A1 = sugarcane leaf compost, A2 = rice straw compost, A3 = chicken manure, and A4 = cow manure, with each dose of 5 t ha-1. The Inpari 32 rice variety was grown for 95 days. Available N, P and K of the soil were measured at 0, 62, and 94 days after transplanting (DAT). Plant N, P, and K contents, plant height, number of tillers, and rice yield were measured at 62 DAT. The results showed that the interaction of soil depth and ameliorant significantly affected soil available P and K but had no significant effect on soil available N. Ameliorant treatment of cow manure significantly increased rice yield.

Abstract

Applying organic amendment (OA) containing humic compounds (HC) and phytohormones is a promising solution to intensify sustainable food production under increasing global food needs, declining environmental carrying capacity and changing climate. However, most positive claims on OA efficacy often came from controlled, greenhouse experiments. The field trial was conducted on an intensively cultivated experimental farm station, Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University. The OA testing was done on sweet maize (Zea mays L. saccharata) using a fractional factorial randomized block design by comparing five rates of the organic amendment (0, ½, 1, 1½, and 2 standards OA) with three rates of NPK fertilizer (0, 1, and ¾ standards NPK). The results revealed that a single OA application did not significantly boost the growth and biomass of sweet maize, especially when applied to an old and intensively cultivate and organically manured farm. OA had significant interaction with NPK at most of the yields and biomass parameters. Amending soils more than 12 L OA ha-1 could improve the sweet maize’s growth and development while saving 25% NPK fertilizers. Linear mixed effect model and multivariate analysis uncovered higher heterogeneity in trial plots controlled maize growth, biomass, and agronomic effectivity, regardless of the given treatments. This study highlighted three important marks for future research: (1) soil plowing, harrowing and mixing must be intensively done across plots, (2) adequate HC contents must be increased from the OA current rate, and (3) the greater role of phytohormone in stimulating maize growth and production at the OA current rate.
