Abstract

Forest roads are essential in forested regions, supporting forestry operations, timber extraction, afforestation, log transportation to mills, recreation, and wildlife management. Nonetheless, forest roads are a major source of soil erosion and sedimentation in stream waters. They contribute to sedimentation through soil erosion on elements like the running surface, roadside slopes, and side ditches. On these routes, soil erosion primarily occurs due to rainfall-driven runoff and its duration. This study employs a systematic review, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), to compile data and examine findings on forest road erosion. The review aligns with the objectives of identifying factors that influence soil erosion on forest roads and skid trails, and developing techniques to control erosion, minimise its impact, and prevent its occurrence. Methods such as planting vegetation on roadside slopes have demonstrated effectiveness in mitigating erosion and reducing its severity and extent. It is advisable for future research to explore various soil erosion control techniques to deepen understanding and improve measures to reduce soil erosion on forest roads

Abstract

This review aims to explore human-elephant conflict in the context of Sumatran elephant conservation, accounting for the impacts of land-use change and elephants' ability to move freely. The researchers used a method for identifying and selecting information from a large database, Scopus, which they accessed on May 16, 2026. They followed a series of steps to choose the studies, including checking document types and the content of the information, and arrived at 31 studies from different countries. They also used VOSviewer to visualize relationships among various topics. The main finding of this review is that human-elephant conflict is the most significant problem, and the key challenge is achieving peaceful coexistence. They saw that most of the information about this problem comes from India and China. There is not as much information from Indonesia and Sumatra. The review says the problem with Sumatran elephants is not that they raid crops, but how land is used and how the elephants can move. To help save the Sumatran elephants, it suggests people should use computer models to predict where problems will occur, study how the elephants move, and involve the local community in reporting problems and setting up warning systems.

Abstract

Medan Belawan District is a strategic coastal area in Medan City that has important ecological, social, and economic functions. The presence of mangroves and urban trees in this area acts as green infrastructure that supports coastal protection, carbon storage, biota habitat, and urban environmental resilience. This community service activity aims to strengthen coastal social ecological literacy, increase participants' understanding of the carbon valuation of mangroves and urban trees, and encourage collective awareness in supporting the development of Eco Forest City in Medan Belawan. The activities were carried out through excursion studies, field observations, academic discussions, ecological data interpretation, and dissemination of results through online mass media. The community service material was supported by data on vegetation inventory, mangrove cover, tree health, carbon storage, carbon economic value, and priority management zoning. The results of the activity showed that mangroves are a dominant component of Medan Belawan's public green spaces, namely 157 of 218 inventory units or 72.02%. The dominant species is Avicennia marina with 105 individuals or 48.17%. Mangrove cover increased from 393.28 ha in 2005 to 1,110.00 ha in 2025. Carbon storage is estimated to reach 35,106 kg C or 128,840 kg CO2e, with a carbon economic value of Rp471,091,349. The outputs of the activity include increased participant literacy, recommendations for coastal green space management, activity documentation, community service articles, and news releases in Borneonews. This activity demonstrates that community service based on scientific data can be a bridge between research, field learning, communities, and coastal management policies.

Abstract

The Special Purpose Forest Area of the Indonesian National Counterterrorism Agency (KHDTK BNPT) in Central Java, Indonesia, is a forest area developed for forest rehabilitation, community empowerment, and social rehabilitation, including deradicalization and social reintegration programs for former terrorism convicts through productive forestry activities. However, repeated forest fires, vegetation degradation, and community dependence on land utilization pose challenges to sustainable management. This study aimed to determine sustainable management priorities of KHDTK BNPT using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data were collected through field observations, interviews, literature reviews, and AHP questionnaires involving eight expert respondents. The criteria and management alternatives were developed based on ecological, social, economic, and institutional considerations integrated with the Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) approach. The results showed that institutional and forest management was the highest-priority criterion (0.413), followed by ecology and environment (0.265), Social and Community Dimension (0.163), and Economic Dimension (0.159). The global priority ranking indicated that institutional activity of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH), area security stability, land tenure status, and Vegetation Density were the highest-priority management alternatives. These findings demonstrate that sustainable management of KHDTK BNPT depends on strengthening local institutions, improving governance effectiveness, maintaining ecosystem rehabilitation efforts, and enhancing community participation to support the long-term implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Therefore, management programs should prioritize strengthening the capacity and involvement of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH), improving area security and land tenure clarity, and maintaining vegetation restoration activities as key actions to support the implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and sustainable forest management.

Abstract

Silvofishery integrates mangrove conservation with low-input aquaculture and is increasingly promoted for sustainable coastal management in Indonesia. This study aimed to identify research trends, evaluate ecological and socio-economic outcomes, synthesize factors controlling implementation success, and formulate research and policy priorities for sustainable silvofishery development in Indonesian mangrove ecosystems. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted using the PRISMA framework and complemented by descriptive bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer. The search used expanded synonyms, including silvofishery, silvo-aquaculture, integrated mangrove aquaculture, wanamina, empang parit, mangrove-based aquaculture, mangrove restoration, blue carbon, food security, climate change, and coastal communities. The Indonesia scope was applied using country-, regional-, and site-specific terms. From 200 records identified, 200 records were screened by title and abstract, 65 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 10 studies published between 2010 and 2026 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis. The synthesis shows that silvofishery can improve mangrove rehabilitation, carbon stock, pond productivity, fishery resources, and coastal income, but outcomes vary across locations. Blanakan showed the strongest multi-service integration, Brebes provided the clearest long-term monitoring evidence, Banyuasin showed strong crab-silvofishery performance, and the Mahakam Delta showed high restoration relevance in a degraded landscape. Success depended on site suitability, tidal exchange, water and sediment quality, mangrove species composition, stocking intensity, institutional support, and community participation. The review concludes that silvofishery is not only an aquaculture model but also a nature-based solution that links ecosystem restoration, climate change mitigation, food security, and livelihood resilience.

Abstract

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) remains an important ambient air pollutant in Indonesia because it is emitted by fossil-fuel combustion, industrial processes, vehicular activities, and open burning at waste-disposal and commercial areas. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical evidence on SO₂ emission sources, ambient concentrations, health and ecological impacts, monitoring approaches, and control strategies in Indonesia. Literature published between 2018 and 2025 was identified from Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and WHO-related databases, and the review process was reported in accordance with PRISMA 2020. After duplicate removal, title and abstract screening, full-text eligibility assessment, and methodological appraisal, 55 studies were included in the synthesis. The evidence shows that elevated SO₂ concentrations are repeatedly reported in traditional markets, landfills, industrial zones, transport corridors, and public facilities, although the spatial coverage and monitoring duration remain uneven. Health-related studies indicate respiratory irritation, non-carcinogenic exposure risks among high-exposure workers, and potential exacerbation of chronic respiratory disease, while ecological impacts remain comparatively under-investigated. Bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer identified air pollution, sulfur dioxide, ambient air, air quality, public health, and health impact as the dominant thematic clusters. This review contributes by integrating source-exposure-impact-control evidence and by identifying the main methodological and policy gaps for SO₂ management in Indonesia.

Abstract

Reliable land-cover information is required for spatial planning on small coastal islands where plantations, mangroves, settlements, and aquaculture compete within a limited land area. This study analyzed land-cover categories and land-cover change on Sembilan Island, Pangkalan Susu Sub-district, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, during the 2014-2019 period using satellite-image interpretation and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. The materials included the administrative boundary map of Sembilan Island, Landsat-8 imagery for 2014, Sentinel imagery for 2019, land-cover maps, field ground-check data, and supporting literature. Seven land-cover classes were identified: open land, mangrove, oil palm plantation, settlement, paddy field, shrubs, and pond. The island covered 1,509.57 ha. Oil palm plantation increased from 308.32 ha in 2014 to 654.26 ha in 2019, while mangrove increased from 348.19 ha to 448.30 ha. On the other hand, open land decreased from 356.79 ha to 28.30 ha, while shrubs fell from 125.03 ha to 7.48 ha. The transition matrix revealed that the most significant change was from open land to oil palm plantation, totalling 343.81 ha, followed by the conversion of shrubs to mangrove, which accounted for 109.71 hectares. The results reveal a simultaneous trend of plantation growth and mangrove restoration, highlighting the need for improved coastal spatial planning, field verification and regular GIS-based monitoring.

Abstract

Tahura Lati Petangis represents a unique case of ecosystem restoration in a former coal mining area (2,017.53 ha of 3,445.37 ha total area) in Paser Regency, East Kalimantan. This study employs an integrated Total Economic Value (TEV) framework to comprehensively assess ecosystem services, combining multiple valuation methods: Market Price Method for biodiversity resources, Individual Travel Cost Method for ecotourism, carbon sequestration valuation through international carbon markets, benefit transfer for erosion prevention, and Contingent Valuation Method for non-use values. Results demonstrate a total economic value of Rp961.43 billion, with indirect use values (primarily carbon sequestration at Rp885.86 billion) contributing 92.97%, followed by direct use values (Rp24.29 billion, 2.53%), and non-use values (Rp43.32 billion, 4.50%). The area supports 171 tree species with biomass of 775.48 tons, sequestering 1,005,749.88 tons of carbon. Biodiversity assessment identified 20 mammal species, 92 bird species, and 62 insect species with an estimated economic value of Rp873.42 million. Ecotourism generates significant economic benefits with 4,111 visitors (2024) and a consumer surplus of Rp5,640,874 per visit. Strategic analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and SWOT framework positions the area in Growth Quadrant I, recommending strategies focused on premium ecotourism development, carbon trading implementation, and integrated buffer zone management. This research provides a replicable methodology for post-mining ecosystem restoration valuation and demonstrates the economic viability of conservation-based land use in degraded landscapes.
