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

Nipa (Nypa Fruticans) is a palm tree that grows in wetlands and mangroves. Nipa fronds possess lignocellulose and hold the potential as a viable source for producing composite boards, pulp, and paper. This research aims to identify the anatomical and morphological characteristics of nipah fronds fiber, especially in the fibrovascular bundle. Nipa fronds were observed in the radial and longitudinal directions. There are four zones in the radial direction, consisting of the outer zone (convex and concave), middle zone, and inner zone. The longitudinal positions consist of the bottom, intermediate, and upper. Anatomical characteristics were observed using a light microscope focused on the fibrovascular bundle's characteristics. Fiber morphology was measured at each position with 20 repetitions of each measurement. The results showed that the number of FVB increased from the outer zone, especially convex towards the middle and inner zone. Thus, the outer fronds are denser than the inner zone. Based on observations of fiber morphology, the concave (radial) zone in the intermediate position (longitudinal) has the longest fiber compared to the other parts. Meanwhile, the cell wall thickness is greatest at the bottom of the concave zone. The widest lumen diameter is the convex zone at the bottom position. This research can conclude that the FVB of nipa palm fronds, both longitudinal and radial, are included in quality class III, which is good enough to be used as raw material for pulp and paper.
