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.

Abstract

Selat Village in West Lombok Regency is known as a bamboo sunshade craft center with abundant bamboo resources. However, the production of bamboo blinds is still done traditionally without the application of preservation technology, making it vulnerable to attacks by destructive organisms such as powder beetles and fungi. Lack of information on effective preservation techniques leads to low product quality and selling value. Therefore, this service activity aims to provide training and assistance to artisan groups in applying simple and environmentally friendly preservation methods. The methods used include an initial survey to understand the condition of the craftsmen, counseling with a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) approach, and the design and implementation of a bamboo preservation tool based on soaking in 5% borax solution. Socialization was conducted to 30 craftsmen from the “Karya Mandiri” group and involved the village and surrounding community. The results of the activity show that the soaking preservation method is more suitable for the needs of craftsmen than the VSD method because the bamboo raw materials used are already in the form of blades. The application of this method can increase the durability of bamboo, speed up the curing process from 1 month to 7-10 days, and increase the selling value of bamboo blinds. The follow-up plan includes periodic evaluation, further training on product finishing and packaging, and promotion through social media to expand the market. This activity contributes to improving the quality and competitiveness of bamboo sunshade products, which is expected to strengthen the economy of the Selat Village community through more effective and sustainable bamboo processing.

Abstract

Forest and land fires are recurrent in Indonesian tropical mountain savannas and threaten biodiversity, carbon stocks, and local livelihoods, yet spatially explicit burned-area information is still limited. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Burn Area Index (BAI) from Landsat 8 OLI–TIRS imagery for mapping the 2024 fire in Bukit Anak Dara, East Lombok. Burned and unburned pixels were classified by applying a two-class Otsu threshold to the ΔBAI histogram for the full scene extent. The resulting burned-area map was validated against high-resolution polygons obtained from visual interpretation of Sentinel-2A imagery and against fire hotspots from the SiPongi+ system. Compared with Sentinel-2A polygons, the ΔBAI–Otsu method produced a burned-area estimate of 275.49 ha versus 318.87 ha from the reference and achieved an overall accuracy of 0.97, precision of 0.94, recall of 0.81, and an F1-score of 0.87. Validation against hotspot data yielded lower performance (overall accuracy 0.87, precision 0.40, recall 0.41, F1-score 0.41), reflecting conceptual and spatial-scale differences between point-based active-fire detections and patch-based burned-area mapping. Burned pixels were concentrated on west–northwest facing slopes dominated by dry savanna, highlighting the role of topography and fuel characteristics in fire spread. Overall, the results therefore indicate that the ΔBAI–Otsu approach is a rapid, transparent, and reproducible tool for post-fire burned-area mapping in tropical mountain ecosystems and has strong potential for routine operational monitoring.

Abstract

The utilization of non-wood biomass residues as alternative solid fuels is important for supporting low-carbon energy transitions and circular bioenergy development. This study evaluated the quality and energy performance of charcoal briquettes produced from vegetative residues of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata), specifically fronds, fruit stalks, and a mixture of both materials. A completely randomized design was applied, and the briquettes were assessed based on physical properties, proximate composition, combustion performance, and charcoal yield, with SNI 01-6235-2000 used as the primary quality benchmark. The results showed that all briquette types had very low moisture content (1.69–2.03%) and high calorific values (5,427–5,985 cal g⁻¹), meeting the SNI requirements for these parameters. Significant differences among plant parts were observed in ash content, volatile matter, and fixed carbon content (p < 0.05), indicating that raw material characteristics strongly influenced briquette quality. Briquettes produced from sugar palm fronds exhibited the highest fixed carbon content and calorific value, as well as the lowest burning rate, reflecting better thermal stability and longer combustion duration. Meanwhile, briquettes made from the mixture of fronds and fruit stalks showed the lowest ash content and the most balanced quality profile. Although some proximate parameters, particularly volatile matter and fixed carbon, did not fully meet the SNI limits, these limitations are process-dependent and may be improved through optimization of carbonization conditions. Overall, sugar palm vegetative residues represent a promising non-wood biomass resource for sustainable charcoal briquette production within a circular bioenergy framework.
