Abstract

Peat swamp forests in Indonesia face significant pressure due to ecosystem degradation. One example is in Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan. Restoration efforts are needed to restore ecosystem function,  including revegetation with Ficus benjamina, which is adaptive to peatland conditions. The  restoration success rate is expected to improve with the use of. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different growing media on the growth performance of F. benjamina stem cuttings. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 planting media treatments (P0–P4) and 8 replications. Parameters included plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and changes in soil chemical properties (pH and organic carbon), with supporting data of temperature, humidity, and rainfall as environmental factors. The results showed that planting media treatments significantly affected the vegetative growth of F. benjamina. Treatment P4 (peat + rice husk charcoal + compost) produced the best growth with an average height of 14.60 cm, stem diameter of 2.33 mm, and number of leaves of 8, compared to the control (P0) with a height of 11.25 cm, diameter of 1.11 mm, and 6 leaves. Furthermore, soil pH increased from acidic (4.6–5.0) to neutral (6.5–6.7). These results indicate that  combining planting media with organic matter effectively improves soil chemical properties and supports the growth of F.benjamina, thus offering potential for application in peatland restoration.

Abstract

Abstract Community Service entitled "Empowering Forest Communities through the Application of the Sonokeling Tree Barcoding System as an Effort for Forestry Social Disaster Management in Wan Abdul Rahman Forest Park, Lampung Province" is motivated by the condition of the Tahura Wan Abdul Rahman area which is vulnerable to illegal logging, especially the Sonokeling (Dalbergia latifolia). Illegal logging is one of the social disasters of forestry and threatens the sustainability of forests and the various resources in them. This is also faced with the limited personnel of related institutions in dealing with social disasters. Therefore, the PkM team consisting of ITERA lecturers from the Forestry Engineering Study Program assisted in gathering information regarding the potential of sonokeling stands in Tahura WAR and developing a barcoding system (QR Code) that would facilitate monitoring and securing rosewood stands from the threat of illegal logging. The barcoding system application is also expected to be able to support the Tahura WAR foster tree program which will be initiated later to increase community empowerment in maintaining forest sustainability.
