The productivity of rainfed agriculture land developed on Ultisols is limited by physical and chemical constraints. These problems can be solved and consistently high yields obtained only by the development of comprehensive manage-ment systems. In the 1980s, hedgerow inter-cropping was promoted initially for improving soil fertility and sustainability of crop production on nutrient-depleted soils. However the previous enthusiasm for hedgerow intercropping is unsupported by scientific evidence and its labour demand too high. The question remains, is there a window of opportunity where the biophysical principle of hedgerow intercropping is sound? Research to compare the long-term performance of crops and trees in hedgerow intercropping and monocluture cropping is needed. This research has been conducted at long-term field experiment station at the BMSF-Project, Lampung, Indone-sia. The experiment site had non-nitrogen-fixing peltophorum (PP), nitrogen-fixing gliricidia (GG) and alternate peltophorum and gliricidia (PG) hedgerow intercropping and maize / groundnut monoculture (C) treatments. We concluded that the net interactions related to soil fertility and competition for growth resources in peltophroum were positive for crop yield in PP and PG but negative for GG. Even so, the PP and PG sys-tems resulted in similar yields as monocropping; however, hedgerow intercropping considerably improved soil fertility attributes.

Fractal branching analysis is a model of indirect estimation on tree biomass that based on the diameter and length of branches. This model put on assumption that the stem diameter before and after branching have the same value which formulated into functional relationship Y = a Db. The research aimed to find out the equation estimation of rubber trees biomass then compared to the equation of corrected biomass after Brown (1997). From this study, it has been found that the equation of above ground biomass for rubber trees is Y = 0.095 D2.62 and non rubber trees Y = 0.091 D2.59 while the equation of aboveground biomass after Brown (1997) is Y = 0.092 D2.60. Based on that grouping in which fractal branching model as a simulation of the Brown model has resulted the same graph. Beside that, the advantage of using this model is that the weight of stem should not be measured because tree biomass can be estimated by measuring the stem diameter

Sources of CO2 from the soil include root respiration, decomposition of newly fallen aboveground litter and decomposition of old soil organic matter. Rhizosphere processes play a key role in soil respiration which is the main carbon efflux from peatland ecosystem to atmosphere. Plant rhizodeposits supply low-molecular weight carbon substrates to the soil microbial community, resulting in elevated levels of activity surrounding the root. We studied the effects of rhizosphere in oil palm plantation on the fluxes of CO2. Carbon dioxide emission flux of peatland was collected in Meulaboh, West Aceh using cylindrical chambers and analysis air samples of chamber by gas chromatograph. Five-point transects perpendicular to drainage canal provided variation in depth of water table for the samples. The data confirmed that The CO2 flux from rhizosphere chamber with additional roots was one to four times higher than from bulk soil chamber.

Sandalwood is an important component of agroforestry systems in the drier Eastern parts of Indonesia, although its value to farmers is still limited by existing policies and regulation of marketing. As a relatively slow growing root parasite, sandalwood will interact with other components in a complex pattern of competition and host-parasite relationships, depending on root distribution and rooting depth of potential hosts. We describe a number of modifications to the generic tree-soil-crop simulation model WaNuLCAS, that allow exploration of the transition between parasitism and competition. The key variable in this transition is the effectiveness of formation of the parasitic link for all situations where roots of the host and parasite occur in the same volume of soil. At low values of this effectiveness competition dominates, at higher values sandalwood will weaken the host, until it effectively kills it, leading to an optimum response of sandalwood to the effectiveness parameter. Unresolved questions in the formulation of the model are the lifespan of parasitized roots and the question whether or not sandalwood will allocate energy resources for maintenance respiration of host roots after the formation of haustoria. The'desk study' reported here was intended to focus subsequent field studies on these unresolved issues.

Oil palm plantations face sustainability challenges with variable yields and significant greenhouse gas emissions. To optimize nutrient cycling while maintaining soil carbon stocks, this study investigated the effects of fertilization intensity and spatial management on organic matter decomposition. A factorial experiment in South Sumatra (Indonesia) used a completely randomized block design with three fertilization levels (low, intermediate, high). Decomposition was monitored in three spatial zones (weeded circle, frond stack, interrow) using litter bags over 52 weeks, with sequential harvesting at 13 time points. Soil properties, litter quality, and environmental factors were analyzed using ANOVA and regression models. Results showed decomposition constants ranging from 0.0180 to 0.0258 week?¹ and half-life times of 16 to 32 weeks, with high fertilization treatments accelerating decomposition by 28% but reducing soil carbon (2.05% to 2.77%) below the litter bags compared to low fertilization (4.37%). Frond stack zones exhibited 35% faster decomposition while maintaining higher carbon levels. The regression model combining soil and frond C/N ratios explained 73% of the variance in decomposition. These findings reveal trade-offs between rapid nutrient cycling and carbon storage, demonstrating that sustainable oil palm production requires precision spatial management rather than uniform high fertilization. This study recommends implementing reduced-intensity inorganic fertilization, avoiding nutrient application in frond stacking zones, and expanding organic matter placement in inter-row areas. Future research should prioritize quantifying belowground carbon dynamics and fine root turnover to develop management frameworks balancing immediate productivity with long-term sustainability.

Repeated forest fires highly impact on tree species composition. Forest planning requires information about the current condition of species composition. This paper investigates the current tree composition of natural regeneration after repeated forest fires, regeneration process after repeated fires, and strategy of secondary growth related to ecological restoration issues. Re-observation of the 1.8 hectares permanent plot in Samboja Research Forest was conducted in 2011. All trees with diameters above 10 cm at breast height (DBH) were re-numbered and mapped. Herbarium specimen was collected for species identification. Number of taxon was determined, Important Value Index was calculated, species trait of light response was identified based on the references and dispersion index species was calculated. Results show after twenty eight years initial forest fire, 191 species naturally regenerated in the burnt area. Macaranga gigantea, a light demanding pioneer species of Euphorbiaceae was the most dominant species, followed by Vernonia arborea belonging to Asteraceae. Both, M. gigantea and V. arborea had clumped distribution. Eight species identified survived from repeated fires, are Anthocephalus chinensis, Dipterocarpus cornutus, Diospyros borneensis, Eusideroxylon zwageri, Shorea ovalis, Syzygium borneensis, Pholidocarpus majadum and Vatica umbonata. All surviving species was distributed uniformly in the plot. Dominant pioneer species which has grown after repeated fires indicates that the current condition of burnt forest is in the early succession. Protecting forest, assisting natural regeneration and monitoring dominant species are suggested as activities for the ecological restoration.
