Abstract

Peatlands drainage system aimed to eliminate the limiting factors to support better growth of plants. Drainage practices will cause subsidence and be associated with CO2 emission. The purpose of this study was to observe the subsidence rate on tropical peatlands of oil palm plantations at different ages and to establish the percentage of decomposition of peat materials from the subsidence rate. Subsidence was measured in 9-, 12-, and 17-year-old of adjacent oil palm planting blocks with peat thickness of about 5 m and have been drained for 10–18 years, two samples taken for each block every three month. Peat decomposition was measured in the 12-year-old block automatically using LiCor Li-8100A with 30 minutes recording interval. Peat decomposition (heterotrophic respiration) considered as actual CO2 emission was compared to emission calculated from subsidence and considered as potential CO2 emission. The average subsidence rate observed for one year in the three age classes of oil palm plantations was 2.47 ± 0.76 cm/year. The percentage of CO2 emissions from the decomposition process to subsidence on drained 12-year-old oil palm on tropical peatlands was 41.05%. The subsidence data indicates that consolidation still the main process of subsidence in this peatland.

Abstract

Addressing food crises and land degradation potential requires multisteps agricultural development, including soil fertility assessment. This study evaluates sandy soil fertility status along a toposequence transect in Sandai District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan. Seven observation points (TP1, TP2, TP3, TK1, TK2, TK3, and TK4) were established, with soil samples collected from depths of 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm. Soil fertility assessment was conducted using three criteria: Five Major Soil Chemical Properties (FMSCP), Basic Cation Saturation Ratio (BCSR), and Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrients (SLAN). The FMSCP method exhibited low to very low fertility statuses, while the BCSR and SLAN methods revealed significant variations in soil fertility, ranging from deficient to excessive. Both the BCSR and SLAN methods demonstrated strong relationships with soil parent material and slope gradient, as evaluated through a multivariate approach. The BCSR method indicated deficient to balanced status at all profile points, whereas dominant balanced to excessive statuses were observed at all fertility points. The SLAN national criteria predominantly indicated deficient status for calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K), while the international criteria identified K deficiency only. This study served as forums to discuss fertility assessment in tropical soils. Also, recommends the potential for implementing the FMSCP criteria-based soil fertility assessment method for tropical Indonesian sandy soils and consider the involvement of balancing ratios in a more comprehensive soil fertility evaluation approach.

Abstract

Since the modern soil assessment focus is currently moving towards “soil health”, it is important to align the Basic Cation Saturation Ratio/BCSR of soil fertility evaluation with this term, yet no research conducted its application in tandem with CNP stoichiometries, nor vice versa. This study evaluated soil nutrient ratios across a hydrosequence transect in North Musi Rawas Regency, the lowland area of eastern Sumatra using Basic Cation Saturation Ratio/BCSR and CNP stoichiometries as potential soil health indicators. By integrating international and national/Indonesian BCSR framework and globally recognized CNP stoichiometry criteria, this study found that all soils experienced cation deficiencies, particularly in the upper soil depth (0–30 cm), alongside low phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) availabilities and their imbalances with C and N in deeper layers (30–60 cm). Cation ratios were observed to decline closer to the Merang River but increased with sampling depth. Additionally, wetter, gleyed soils exhibited greater cation imbalances while maintaining relatively balanced CNP stoichiometries. This study proposes an integrated multi-proxy approach combining BCSR and CNP stoichiometries as a cost-effective method for assessing soil fertility and health by addressing nutrient imbalances.
