Abstract. Briliawan BD, Wijayanto N, Wasis B. 2022. Visual soil structure quality and its correlation to quantitative soil physical properties of upland rice site in Falcataria moluccana agroforestry system. Biodiversitas 23: 1894-1903. Sengon and upland rice are plants that have the potential to be combined in the agroforestry system. However, its development often results in poor quantitative soil physical properties. Measuring the soil’s physical properties is expensive and complicated to do by some people. This study aims to measure the visual soil structure quality from different land covers and calculate its correlation to the parameters of the soil’s physical properties. The research was conducted in the Cikabayan forest and used the purposive sampling method to take soil samples. The research was conducted by comparing nine land covers in the form of agroforestry and monoculture developed in organic and conventional agriculture with tropical rainforests as natural vegetation. Three samples were taken for each land cover type and analyzed with a completely randomized design. The research showed that the vegetation of tropical rainforest generated the best score on all visual soil structure quality measurement methods (VESS, GrassVESS Sq and GrassVESS Rm). The measurement of soil physical properties at natural vegetation of tropical rainforests generated the highest score on the porosity (57.303%). Meanwhile, monoculture-conventional land generated the highest bulk density (1.373 g.cm-3). The VESS method had the highest correlation with soil physical properties compared to other visual soil structure quality measurement methods. Thus, natural vegetation is the best type of land cover compared to all cultivated land and the VESS method is the most appropriate method for estimating soil physical properties.

Abstract. Purnama TJ, Wijayanto N, Wasis B. 2022. Assessing soil properties in various agroforestry lands in Kuningan District, West Java, Indonesia using Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS). Biodiversitas 23: 3012-3021. Land conversion from the forest into intensive agriculture and plantation causes soil degradation. Agroforestry is promoted as a win-win solution to land management that conserves and improves soil quality using a tree-based farming system. This study aimed to evaluate the physical soil quality of various land-use patterns, including agroforestry in Kuningan District, West Java. In doing so, we employed the Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS) method to be compared with laboratory analysis. Soil physical quality of seven land-use types was evaluated, namely natural forest, complex agroforestry of coffee, complex agroforestry of galangal, simple agroforestry of coffee, simple agroforestry of sweet potato, coffee monoculture and maize monoculture. The VESS technique was used to assess the quality of soil structure, whereas the conventional soil analysis method was used to determine soil bulk density and porosity. Other soil properties including soil organic carbon, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), pH, and soil macrofauna and mesofauna as well as dry litter weight, vegetation composition and individuals’ density were also obtained. The results of the VESS method (reflected as Sq value) revealed that the soil physical quality varied, ranging from Sq value of 1.16-3.1. Complex agroforestry of galangal had Sq value of 1.56 which was not significantly different from that of natural forest land (Sq 1.16), implying that both land uses had a similar physical soil quality. The VESS score and the soil property parameters have a reasonable correlation (r) (BD = 0.80, soil porosity = -0.80, SOC = -0.88, CEC = 0.89, diversity of fauna soil index = 0.82). This study shows that a multi-strata agroforestry system can be a strategy for recovering soil quality on degraded lands, and the VESS method can be used to analyze soil quality in these areas.

Abstract. Wasis B, Putra FR, Winata B, Putra EI, Applegate G. 2025. Soil macrofauna abundance and soil characteristics of limestone post-mining land in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 26: 314-5323. Limestone mining can lead to the loss of soil fauna and a decline in soil quality on post-mining land. Soil, as a key component of forest ecosystems, exhibits distinct characteristics across site types. Revegetation is an important strategy to restore ecosystems and biodiversity through tree planting. This study, which aimed to assess the abundance of soil macrofauna, characterize site conditions, and evaluate the influence of soil properties on macrofauna abundance in the limestone post-mining area of PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia, Narogong, Bogor District, West Java, Indonesia, has yielded significant findings. Soil macrofauna were collected using hand sorting and hand capture methods, while biodiversity indices were calculated. Undisturbed soil samples (ring samples) were used for physical property analysis, and disturbed samples (0-20 cm depth) were used for chemical and biological analyses. Data were analyzed using Least Significant Difference (LSD) and negative binomial regression analysis. Macrofauna abundance in Old Revegetation 2010 (OR) sites (54±18.4 individuals) was significantly higher than in Open post-mining land (O) (0.5±0.7) and Young Revegetation 2018 (YR) sites (3.5±2.1) researched in 2023. Porosity, organic carbon, soil pH, soil respiration, and dry litter weight showed significant positive correlations with macrofauna abundance, while soil temperature had a significant negative correlation. These findings, which underscore the importance of revegetation and the role of soil macrofauna as an indicator of post-mining soil quality recovery, are of significant interest to the scientific community and conservation practitioners.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Limbah oli bekas merupakan bahan berbahaya dan beracun (B3) karena mengandung zat kimia seperti senyawa hidrokarbon, nitrogen-oksida, sulfur, dan heavy metal. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis respon pertumbuhan semai Syzygium polyanthum terhadap penambahan pupuk kandang kambing dan arang sekam serta  menganalisis dosis optimal pemberian pupuk kandang kambing dan arang sekam yang dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan semai S. polyanthum pada tanah tercemar limbah oli bekas. Secara umum, S. polyanthum merupakan jenis pohon yang berpotensi dikembangkan menjadi kandidat agen fitoremedian pada tanah tercemar limbah oli bekas. Soil amandement melalui pemberian bahan organik perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan adaptasi tanaman dan peluang fitoremediasi. Perlakuan tunggal pemberian pupuk kandang kambing dan arang sekam pada tanah terkontaminasi limbah oli bekas memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap sebagian besar parameter pertumbuhan dan karakteristik tanah. Perlakuan tunggal pemberian pupuk kandang kambing berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan tinggi, biomassa, dan panjang akar, serta respirasi tanah. Adapun perlakuan tunggal pemberian arang sekam berpengaruh nyata terhadap respirasi tanah. Pemberian masing-masing 90 g pupuk kandang kambing / polibag dan 60 g arang sekam / polibag merupakan dosis terbaik yang dapat mendukung adaptasi dan pertumbuhan semai S. polyanthum serta perbaikan karakteristik tanah yang terkontaminasi limbah oli bekas. Bahkan perlakuan ini juga mampu menurunkan konsentrasi beberapa logam berat seperti Pb, Al, dan Zn.
