Abstract

Palm oil, a native crop of West Africa, emerged as a key industrial commodity in the 19th century, fundamentally shaping economic and environmental landscapes in both Europe and Southeast Asia. While its importance in European industrialization has been widely acknowledged, the early colonial expansion of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia and its impact on deforestation remains less discussed. This paper explores the intertwined economic, political, and environmental dimensions of palm oil trade in Europe post-1800 and the early plantation-based land conversion in Indonesia before 1945. Drawing on archival sources, historical records, and academic studies, it highlights the dual role of palm oil as both an enabler of industrial progress and a driver of ecological transformation.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for palm oil has driven the expansion of oil palm cultivation into peatland areas, raising concerns over environmental sustainability. This study investigates the impact of different land uses on soil microbial diversity and physicochemical properties by comparing three ecosystems: peat soil planted with oil palm (GS), peat soil with natural fern vegetation (GNS), and mineral soil cultivated with oil palm (MS). Physicochemical parameters including organic carbon, cellulose, and lignin content were analyzed, followed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (V3-V4 regions) using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Sequencing data were processed using the QIIME2 pipeline and classified with the SILVA v.138 database. Results show that while MS had the highest microbial diversity, GS and GNS also supported diverse bacterial communities. Organic carbon, cellulose, and lignin were more abundant in GNS and GS than in MS, reflecting the influence of vegetation on soil composition. Dominant bacterial phyla across all sites included Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Acidobacteria. These findings suggest that oil palm cultivation on peatlands, when properly managed, does not necessarily reduce microbial diversity. Environmental factors such as vegetation cover, soil type, and water table levels play key roles in shaping microbial communities in tropical soils.

Abstract

The amount of CO2 gas emissions in drained peatland for oil palm cultivation has been widely reported. However, the research addressing the contribution of litter respiration to peat and total respiration and its relationship with several environmental factors is found rare. The aim of this study was to measure peat and heterogeneous litter respiration of drained tropical peat in one year at a distance of 2.25 m and 4.50 m from mature oil palm trees of 14 years using the chamber method (Licor Li-830). In addition to CO2 efflux, we measured other environmental parameters, including peat temperature (10 cm depth), air temperature, groundwater table (GWL), and rainfall. Results showed that the mean total peat respiration (Rt) was 12.06 g CO2 m-2day-1, which consisted of 68% (8.24 g CO2 m-2day-1) peat (Rp) and root (Rr) respiration and 32% (3.84 g CO2  m-2day-1) of litter respiration (Rl) at the distance of 2.25 m from the palm tree. Meanwhile, at a farther distance, the Rt was 12.49 g CO2m-2day-1, the contribution of Rp was 56% (6.78 g CO2 m-2day-1), and Rl was higher than the closest distance (46%; 5.71 g CO2 m-2day-1). Thus, one-year observation resulting the mean Rt and Rr was 0.07–0.08 Mg CO2 ha-1 day-1, while Rl was 0.04–0.06 Mg CO2 ha-1 day-1. The means of Rt, Rp, and Rl were significantly different in the dry season than those recorded in the rainy season. The climatic-related variable such as peat and air temperature were chiefly governing respiration in peat under mature oil palm plantation, whereas the importance of other variables present at particular conditions. This paper provides valuable information concerning respiration in peat, especially for litter contribution and its relationship with environmental factors in peatland, contributing to global CO2 emission.
