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.

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

Since the modern soil assessment focus is currently moving towards “soil health”, it is important to align the Basic Cation Saturation Ratio/BCSR of soil fertility evaluation with this term, yet no research conducted its application in tandem with CNP stoichiometries, nor vice versa. This study evaluated soil nutrient ratios across a hydrosequence transect in North Musi Rawas Regency, the lowland area of eastern Sumatra using Basic Cation Saturation Ratio/BCSR and CNP stoichiometries as potential soil health indicators. By integrating international and national/Indonesian BCSR framework and globally recognized CNP stoichiometry criteria, this study found that all soils experienced cation deficiencies, particularly in the upper soil depth (0–30 cm), alongside low phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) availabilities and their imbalances with C and N in deeper layers (30–60 cm). Cation ratios were observed to decline closer to the Merang River but increased with sampling depth. Additionally, wetter, gleyed soils exhibited greater cation imbalances while maintaining relatively balanced CNP stoichiometries. This study proposes an integrated multi-proxy approach combining BCSR and CNP stoichiometries as a cost-effective method for assessing soil fertility and health by addressing nutrient imbalances.

Abstract

Peatland at the research site utilized for oil palm plantation situated alongside with ultrabasic mineral soils. High Mg content in the soil has been reported to inhibit plant growth and distrupt nutrient absorption. Research is aimet to study of pH; Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC); macronutrient of potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg); beneficial nutrient of sodium (Na); and micronutrients of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and Zink (Zn) distribution in peat and its relationship with peat depth and distance to ultrabasic mineral soil. The composite of 1,0 kg peat soil samples were collected from the depth of 0 – 30 cm, 30 – 60 cm and 60 - 90 cm toposequently with the distance of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 m from the ultrabasic mineral soil. Analysis of peat samples was carried out to determine (i) the contents of K, Ca, Mg, Na extracted by amonium acetate and (ii) the contents of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn extracted by DTPA. The result of the study showed that pH value decreased significantly along with increasing peat depth and tended to decrease with increasing distance from mineral soil. CEC content fluctuated and tended to increase along with increasing peat depth and distance from mineral soil. Based on the measurement of Mg and Fe, mineral soil nutrient affected peat to the distance of 600 m from its border. According to Balittanah criteria, peat in the transect area contain high level of available Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, and Zn and low level of K and Ca. Available content of Cu classified as moderate in all depth and distance, except 600 meter and 60 – 90 cm respectively. Beneficial nutrient of Na showed positive correlation with peat depth, indicating marine influence from mineral soil in subsurface. The great disparity between Mg with other cations may disrupt root absorbtion and lead to K and Ca leaching from peat solum.

Abstract

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential elements for plant, however, its availability is mostly very low in acid soils. It is well documented that application of phosphate rock and organic matter are able to change the level of availability of P-form in acid soils.  The objective of the research were to evaluate the changes of P-fractions ( resin-P, NaHCO3-Pi, and NaHCO3-Po) and phosphate rock dissolution which were induced by application of organic matter (Imperata cylindrica, Pueraria javanica, dan Colopogonium mucunoides) and phosphate rock in Utisol Lampung.  The experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with three factors and three replications.  The first factor was the types of organic matter (I. cylindrica, P. javanica, and C. mucunoides), the second factor was the rate of organic matter (0, 2.5, and 5%), and the third factor was the rate of phosphate rock (0, 40, and 80 mg P kg-1).  The results showed that in the  rate of 0 and 1% organic matter, the type of organic matter did not affect P-fraction of NaHCO3-Pi, but in the rate of 2.5 and 5%,  NaHCO3-Pi due to application of  P. javanica, and C. mucunoides higher than due to application of  I. cylindrica.  However, the increasing rate of organic matter increased NaHCO3-Pi. Then, P-fraction of Resin-Pi was affected by the type of organic matter, the rate of  organic matter, and the rate of phosphate rock, respectively. P-fraction of resin-Pi due to application of P.  javanica, and C. mucunoides was higher than due to application of  I. cylindrica, but the effect of  P. javanica, and C. mucunoides was not different.  Increasing the rate of organic matter and phosphate rock increased P-fraction of resin-Pi and NaHCO3-Pi, but P-fraction of NaHCO3-Po was not affected by all treatments.  Meanwhile, dissolution of phosphate rock was affected by the kind of organic matter and soil reaction.  In the rate of 5% organic matter, dissolution of  phosphate rock by application of                                     I. cylindrica (70%) was higher than P. javanica (26.6%), and C.  mucunoides (33.5%), but in the rate of 1%, the effect of I. cylindrica , P. javanica, and C. mucunoides were not different.Keywords: C. mucunoides; I. cylindrica; P. javanica; phosphate rock; P-fractions[How to Cite: Djuniwati S, B Nugroho, and HB Pulunggono. 2012.

Abstract

Open-pit coal mining causes environmental degradation, disrupting ecosystem functions and reducing soil quality. This study evaluated the contribution of vegetation stratification and the Soil Quality Index (SQI) in supporting the recovery of post-coal mining land. The research was conducted on revegetated sites of varying ages (2006-2022) within the PT Allied Indo Coal Jaya mining area in Sawahlunto, West Sumatra. Vegetation structure was analyzed based on five vertical strata: trees, poles, saplings, seedlings, and understory. Concurrently, soil quality was assessed using the SQI, which incorporates physical, chemical, and biological soil parameters. They showed that revegetated sites older than 10 years exhibited more complex vegetation structures and significantly higher SQI values. Among the strata, understory frequency showed the strongest correlation with SQI (r = 0.907), followed by tree density (r = 0.530), reflecting the crucial role of these two layers in enhancing organic matter, microbial activity, and soil stability. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified soil pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, microbial biomass, and soil permeability as the key indicators contributing to SQI formation. These findings confirm that the interaction between vegetation stratification and soil quality plays a central role in accelerating ecosystem recovery and supporting the long-term sustainability of post-mining land revegetation.

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.
