Abstract

This study was aimed to analyze the relationship between diameter at breast height, height, and volume of standing Shorea sp. and the relationship between age and volume of this species.  The study was conducted at different ages of rehabilitated forest in Bintulu Sarawak, where the measurement was taken from tree stand year 1992 until 2003.  The sampling plot of 20m x 20m was built for each age of stand. Ten standing Shorea sp. were randomly measured for sectionals (taper) from diameter at breast height until the free branches of the tree. The rest of the trees within the plot were only measured by diameter at breast height. All collected data were calculated to find basal area of each tree in meter square (m2).  The volume per plot was calculated using the Smalian’s formula to find the taper volume of the Shorea sp.  Statistical analysis was conducted to find the regression equation which could explain the relation between volume, diameter, and height of the tree.  Result showed that there was a relationship between volume, diameter, and height of the tree, and also there was relationship between volume and age of the tree.  Meanwhile, there was no relationship between taper of standing trees and age of trees. This means that volume taper of standing tree and age have no correlation.

Abstract

Matang Mangrove Forest is under systematic management since 1902 and still considered as the best managed mangrove forest in the world. This research was conducted to measure the time and productivity of forest harvesting operation and also to analyze the cost and revenue of mangrove forest harvesting operation at Matang mangrove forest. This project had been carried out in cooperation with Seri Sepetang Enterprise, one of the harvesting licenses in Kuala Sepetang, Perak.  Data collections were taken in every station starting from standing tree until to the Kiln-Drying jetty. The data then calculated by using the formulas of productivity and cost analysis. As the result, the productivity for felling, bucking and debarking, the manual skidding using wheel-barrow and the water transportation are 1.84 tan/hour, 3.82 tan/hour and 4.64 tan/hour respectively.  The cost for each operation of 9 tan log volume for felling, bucking and debarking, the manual skidding using wheel-barrow and the water transportation are RM 56.88, RM 10.80 and RM 36.72 respectively. As the revenue, the company paid RM 260 per 9 tan of log for the in-forest operation (felling, manual skidding and loading to the ship) and pay RM 80 per 9 tan for the water transportation, and they gained the net profit of RM 192.32 and RM 43.28 respectively. The average of forest harvesting operation is twice operation in a day (equal with 2 x 9-ton volume of log production a day), so they will gain a double profit.  In conclusion, the forest harvesting operation is sustainably managed for supplying the raw material of charcoal industries in Matang mangrove forest. Since, they work manually and spend much energy in this forest harvesting operation, so for further study it recommends to conduct the ergonomics evaluation during forest harvesting operation at Matang Mangrove Forest.

Abstract

Evaluating land suitability for Aleurites moluccana in community agroforestry land within Langkat District, North Sumatra, is crucial for promoting sustainable development, enhancing livelihoods, and preserving ecosystems while honoring local traditions and cultures. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate and map the land suitability for A. moluccana within Langkat District, located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. To gather the necessary data, this study employed a survey method, involving the collection of soil samples from ten distinct land units within the field. The assessment of land suitability was carried out using the matching method. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was utilized to create maps illustrating the distribution of land suitability, while a Global Positioning System (GPS) was employed to accurately record the coordinates of the collected soil samples. The findings revealed that within Gunung Ambat, Simpang Kuta Buluh, Rumah Galuh, and Telagah Village, the actual land suitability classes for A. moluccana were classified as moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). The prevailing limiting factors in this region were temperature (tc) and the characteristics of the root zone medium (rc). Consequently, this influenced the potential land suitability classes for A. moluccana, resulting in classifications ranging from highly suitable (S1) to moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). By implementing land suitability evaluation for A. moluccana in community agroforestry land, promoting sustainable land use, enhancing livelihoods, and conserving natural resources.

Abstract

Corruption and forest disturbances represent substantial barriers to sustainabledevelopment in Malaysia's forestry sector. Working within this sector faces avariety of threats. This study explores key corruption risks within the forestrysector, analysing the motives and opportunities that drive forest offences inPeninsular Malaysia. Respondents from relevant agencies were primarilysurveyed using questionnaires. Data analysis using SPSS revealed the corruptionrisks encountered within the forestry sector. Respondents identified fieldwork andreporting as potential areas susceptible to corruption, with their perceptionsanalyzed through central tendency and dispersion measures. Additionally,correlation analysis was conducted to determine the strength and direction of therelationship between motive and opportunity regarding forest offences, and toassess whether the correlation was statistically significant. The findingsdemonstrated a robust positive correlation (r = 0.66) between motive andopportunity, indicating a significant relationship. This suggests that motives forforest offences correspond to opportunities for such offences. This studyhighlights the need for targeted collaboration between the Forestry Departmentand relevant authorities to develop specialized training programs. These programsare crucial for effectively investigating and prosecuting forest violations,ultimately reducing corruption risks

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are important in ecological, economic, and social aspects,especially for coastal communities. However, damage to mangrove ecosystemsdue to land-use changes for purposes such as settlements and fish ponds canthreaten their sustainability. This study aims to analyze the potential of themangrove ecosystem, apply the kao-kao model in silvofishery pond management,and analyze the potential of mangroves in increasing the income of the communityin Pematang Kuala Village, Teluk Mengkudu Sub-district, Serdang BedagaiDistrict, North Sumatra Province. The methods used include field surveys forvegetation analysis and interviews with Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB)Nelayan Sepakat members. Vegetation analysis was conducted in three zones:utilization zone I, II, and the protection zone. Each zone consisted of 5 plots,totaling 15 plots. Interviews were conducted with 27 respondents. The studyresults showed that the mangrove ecosystem in Pematang Kuala Village isdominated by Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mangle, with an important valueindex of 300 in both utilization and protection zones. In the protection zone, theShannon-Wiener diversity index was 0.95, indicating a low level of diversity.Based on the kao-kao system model, it was observed that the productivity of fishponds and fishermen's catch increased. Community income has significantlyincreased over the last five years, with an average net income of IDR 19,550,000every six months. The presence of mangroves also provides indirect benefits as acoastal protector from abrasion, with an estimated economic value of IDR247,950,000 per year.

Abstract

Aboveground biomass plays a pivotal role in estimating tropical forest carbon stocks, particularly in Southeast Asia, a region rich in biodiversity but threatened by deforestation and land-use change. This systematic review analyzes 71 peer-reviewed studies published between 1995 and 2025, selected from an initial pool of 8,509 articles. The review aims to evaluate methodological developments and performance across three major approaches: field-based and allometric models, remote sensing including Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, and Machine Learning (ML) with data fusion, within key tropical forest countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. These countries were selected due to their high forest cover, rapid land-use change, and central roles in the implementation of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). Field-based models, particularly those calibrated locally, consistently produced high accuracy, with R² values generally ranging from 0.80 to 0.96. Remote sensing techniques, particularly the integration of airborne LiDAR and optical–SAR, demonstrated strong predictive performance (R² > 0.85) and relatively low Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), typically below 30 Mg/ha. ML approaches such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and LightGBM also achieved competitive results, with R² typically between 0.75 and 0.85 and RMSE below 40 Mg/ha when trained on high-quality input data. Mangrove and dipterocarp forests emerged as the most frequently studied ecosystems. While methodological innovations are evident, notable gaps remain in model harmonization and representation of ecosystem diversity. The review recommends integrating species-specific allometric models with remote sensing and machine learning pipelines, supported by open-access datasets, to enhance national forest monitoring systems and REDD+ readiness across Southeast Asia.
