Abstract

Bag-log waste is an organic material that is difficult to decompose. This is due to the bag log's high content of lignin compounds. Therefore, to speed up the composting process, it is necessary to include other organic materials and bio activators. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the bio-activator consortium of Phosphate Dissolving Bacteria (KBPF) in composting bag-log waste mixed with cow dung. The experiment consisted of 5 treatments with three replications, namely (T1) bag-log waste, (T2) a mixture of bag-log waste and cow manure with a composition of 1:2 (wt/wt), (T3) a mixture of bag-log waste and cow manure with 2:1 ( wt/wt), (T4) a mixture of bag-log waste and cow manure with a composition of 1:2 (wt/wt) plus KBPF (200 ml) with a density of 108 CFU/ml (T5) a mixture of bag-log waste and cow manure with a composition of 2:1 (wt/wt) plus KBPF (200 ml) with a density of 108 CFU/ml. The experiment was created as - Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The experimental results show that bag-log waste cannot be decomposed fastly without cow dung and bio activators. The treatments of T2, T3, T4 and T5 produced compost with quality not significantly different from one another. Under these treatments, the temperature was controlled in the mesophilic stage, and the composting pH was returned to neutral, while the moisture content and C/N ratio decreased to almost half of their original levels at the end of the composting period. It seems that inoculation of KBPF into the mixture of cow dung and bag-log waste has no role in accelerating the composting process. The mix of Bag-log and cow dung, with a minimal proportion of 2:1 without inoculation KBPF, was the recommended combination in composting bag-log in which the final product (compost) could fulfil its pH (neutral), the threshold of temperature and water content.  The C/N ratio of the treatment was close C/N ratio of mature compost, and total N and total P contents were more than the standard of SNI 19-7030-2004.

Abstract

Soil plays a vital role as a natural sink for atmospheric carbon emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation. This study aimed to analyze soil carbon content across four different land use types-conservation forest, mangrove forest, mixed garden, and paddy field-in West Lombok District, and to assess its relationship with soil physical properties. A descriptive survey method was employed, with soil sampling conducted at depths of 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm across 24 plots. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and correlation tests. The results revealed significant variation in soil carbon content among land use types, with conservation forest exhibiting the highest value (4,010 tons/ha), followed by paddy field (3,894 tons/ha), mixed garden (2,694 tons/ha), and mangrove forest (1,184 tons/ha). Soil bulk density (BV) showed a strong positive correlation with carbon content, while porosity was negatively correlated. These findings suggest that land use and soil structure significantly influence soil carbon storage. Conservation forests, with higher organic input and minimal disturbance, are the most effective in sequestering carbon. This study highlights the importance of sustainable land use planning in enhancing soil carbon sequestration as a climate mitigation strategy.
