Abstract

Forest and land fires in Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province, represent a persistent and multidimensional environmental governance challenge shaped not only by ecological factors, but also by land-use change dynamics, plantation expansion, and the complexity of cross-sectoral and multi-level policy networks. This study aims to examine the interrelationships among land cover change, hotspot dynamics, and the structural configuration of the forest and land fire control policy network in Pelalawan Regency. The research adopts an integrated approach combining spatial analysis and policy network analysis. Spatial analysis assesses land cover change and the distribution of fire hotspots for the 2000–2022 period using Terra and Aqua satellite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) with a confidence level of ≥50%, overlaid with land cover data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Subsequently, policy network analysis is conducted using a Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach applied to 53 regulatory instruments at the national, provincial, and regency levels, measuring degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality. The findings indicate that hotspot surges prior to 2016 are strongly correlated with plantation expansion and weak policy implementation effectiveness, despite the presence of an extensive normative regulatory framework. Law No. 32/2009 is identified as the most central normative node within the policy network, while the strengthening of operational policies after 2016 has contributed significantly to the reduction of forest and land fire incidents. This study underscores that the effectiveness of forest and land fire control is determined not by regulatory proliferation, but by the integration of policy networks and cross-sectoral implementation capacity.

Abstract

Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) significantly impact ecosystem services (ES), often leading to land degradation and disrupting natural balance. This study examines how LULC changes have influenced total ecosystem services (TES) in Citarum Watershed over the past decade. Specifically, researchers analyze (1) the shifts in LULC and key ES components—water yield (WY), soil conservation (SC), and carbon storage (CS)—from 2010 to 2020, (2) the spatial relationship between land use intensity (LUI) and ES, and (3) the synchronization and distribution patterns of LUI and TES using a coupling coordination degree (CCD) model. The findings reveal significant LULC changes between 2010 and 2020, with bare/shrubland and agricultural areas expanding by 88.37% and 2.25%, while forest land and lakes declined by 0.78% and 0.09%. These transformations affected ES values, as WY and CS decreased by 15.01% and 4.98%, whereas SC increased by 12.03%. Overall, TES declined by 7.54%, with the steepest reduction (17.70%) observed in the downstream region. The coupling coordination analysis highlights an imbalance between LUI and TES, with 65 to 68% of sub-districts classified as imbalanced. These results underscore the urgent need for integrated land-use planning strategies to restore ecosystem balance and promote sustainability in Citarum Watershed.

Abstract

Using oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as an organic amendment is a crucial strategy to improve soil quality in oil palm plantations, particularly on nutrient-poor Spodosol soils. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2 EFB application methods (incorporation into the soil and surface mulching) on soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen content, earthworm populations as soil biological indicators of fertility, and oil palm performance. A 12-month field experiment was conducted with observations every 4 months, using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 9 replications each (n = 27 experimental units). The treatments included no EFB application (T0), EFB incorporated into the soil (T1), and EFB applied as surface mulch (T2). The results showed that both EFB application methods significantly increased SOC compared to the control, with the highest SOC observed in T2 (2.30±0.34%) after 12 months. Earthworm populations also increased progressively, reaching 19.33 individuals m-2 in T2. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between SOC content and earthworm abundance (r = 0.60; p < 0.001). These results confirm that EFB application, especially through surface mulching, is an effective and sustainable approach to enhancing soil quality, biological activity, and ecosystem functioning on Spodosols in oil palm plantations.
