Abstract

East Kalimantan is a region that contributes to palm oil production. Industrial development in the area still needs to be improved in some plantations because there is a limiting palm oil productivity. This study examined the chemical properties of the soil on the PT. Gemilang Sejahtera Abadi (GSA) plantation. Observations were made in four fields with the same variety but different productivity levels. Correlation analysis and simple linear regression were used to identify factors influencing productivity. The soil on the plantation land was dominated by Typic Hapludults soil type, included in the Ultisols order. The highest productivity was found in Afdeling 1, 2, and 5, while the lowest was in Afdeling 4. The pH in each afdeling was classified as acidic, and the Organic-C, N, and base saturation contents were low. The CEC in afdeling 1 and 2 was classified as medium, while in afdelings 4 and 5 was low. All correlation analyses showed a positive relationship between the variables and palm oil productivity, with low correlation coefficients for pH, organic-C, N, P, and base saturation. The correlation coefficient between CEC and palm oil productivity has a strong relationship.

Abstract

The Upper Konto Watershed in Malang Regency is an area with various types of land use that have the potential to influence soil physical properties and soil water retention. Soil water retention is the ability of soil to absorb and retain water, which is closely related to the availability of water that plants can utilize. One of the soil types that dominate this region is inceptisol, which can face constraints in water retention, mainly when land use changes or inappropriate management practices occur. This study aims to analyze the impact of different types of land use on soil water retention characteristics in the Inceptisols of the Upper Konto watershed. The research method was conducted through field surveys and laboratory analysis. A survey was conducted on 16 Land Map Units (LMUs) derived from the overlay of land use, soil type, and slope maps. A total of 64 soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis. The observed variables included soil texture, bulk density, particle density, soil porosity, soil aggregate stability, soil organic matter, and soil water retention at pF 0, 2.5, and 4.2. The results revealed that land use types have a significant influence on soil physical properties as well as water retention characteristics. Specifically, it was found that forest land with the Udic Eutrandepts soil type had the highest water retention capability (0.39 cm3 cm-3). In comparison, dry farmland with the same soil type had the lowest water retention capability (0.06 cm3 cm-3). These findings illustrate the stark differences in the ability of soils to retain water between different land use types.

Abstract

Forest fires have become a vital issue causing various hydro-meteorological disasters. Many parties have carried out efforts. This study aimed to analyze the impact of land covers due to reforestation on infiltration rate and other soil physical properties related to hydrological conditions. The research was conducted in the Cempaka Forest area. There are four observed land covers, i.e., Timber Forest Products (TFP), Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP), Pine, and Shrub. The results showed that land cover significantly affected the infiltration rate (p <0.05). The infiltration rate of Pine was not significantly different from NTFP but significantly different from TFP and Shrubs. The infiltration rate of Pine, NTFP, TFP, and Shrub land cover was 76.2 cm hr-1, 48.1 cm hr-1, 32.7 cm.hr-1, and 40.0 cm hr-1, respectively. The infiltration correlated with soil bulk density at two depths (0-15 cm and 16-30 cm) with r values of 0.614 and 0.595, respectively. Infiltration rate also significantly correlated with water content at pF 0 and pF 2.5 in the second soil depth. Additionally, soil bulk density is correlated with soil particle density with r  = 0.621. Soil particle density also correlated with clay content with r equal to 0.726.
