Abstract

Medan City which is the capital of North Sumatra Province has many environmental problems, so it requires the existence of green open space could ameliorate microclimate. Air temperature and humidity as part of the microclimate element affect the level of comfort that will ultimately affect quality the of society. It is necessary to quantitatively calculate the economic value of the urban forests so that their existence is considered a need for the city. This study aims to estimate the economic value of green open space based on biotic, physical, and social factors in residential areas, business and office areas, and industrial areas in Medan City. The research was conducted in Cadika, Beringin, and Maharani green open spaces. The research data was collected during December 2020-February 2021. The data analysis method is using multiple linear regression analysis. The result showed quantitatively through the green open space temperature humidity index value it falls into the uncomfortable category (THI>26) but qualitatively by perception visitors and communities that urban forests are comfortable. Total WTPs from green open space visitors with a visiting period which is valued at Rp. 29,268,000/year. Based on the hedonic price analysis, the closer 1 meter to the green space will increase the price of different properties in each green open space. Key words: economic value, green open space, Medan City, willingness to pay

Abstract

PT. Toba Pulp Lestari, Tbk is one of the industrial forestry companies with Eucalyptus as the main species. This research was conducted in a concession area located in Aek Nauli Plantation, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra with an area of 22,533 Ha. The sample of this research is understorey species (height: 1.5 meters) under Eucalyptus stand in cycles 2, 3, 4 and 5 planted in 2015. To find out the composition of plant species, vegetation analysis was conducted initially by making minimum species-area curves to determine the number of plots. The placement of the sample starts with randomly distributed on plotted paths. The number of plots in each cycle is as many as 32 plots, 32 plots, 32 plots, 4 plots by 256 plots and 5 plots for 32 plots. The results of soil analysis found that secondary metabolic in eucalyptus soil classified into terpenoid which located at a distance of 50 cm (flat) and 100 cm (flat) from the tree at 2 years old Eucalyptus stand. The terpenoids also distributed in distance of 50 cm from trees with flat topography on 4 years old Eucalyptus stand. For 6 years old Eucalyptus stand, terpenoid distributed on 150 cm from a tree and there was also a saponin within 150 cm from a tree with sloping topography. If the dominant undergrowth grows were Strong and Senduduk, the secondary metabolism in the soil will be absorbed by this species.

Abstract

Urban environmental comfort increasingly challenged by rapid population growth and development. Green Open Spaces (GOS) are crucial in enhancing community also life quality. This study assess the comfort value of GOS in Medan City by examining physical, biotic, and social factors. The research employed a combination of vegetation inventory to evaluate biodiversity, environmental measurements to assess air quality and noise levels, and public perception surveys to understand social comfort. The findings reveal that Cadika Park possesses the highest vegetation diversity with 31 tree species, dominated by Terminalia mantaly, which also recorded the highest Leaf Area Index (LAI) of 1.78. Physically, air quality within GOS areas is better than outside, although noise levels still exceed environmental quality standards. Socially, the community perceives GOS as comfortable and beneficial for daily activities. In conclusion, despite certain physical limitations, GOS in Medan City contributes positively to environmental comfort, underscoring the need for continuous management and sustainable development of urban green spaces.

Abstract

The response of composting microbes to fly ash can show an increase or decrease in population depending on the type and concentration of fly ash used. This study aims to identify the effect of fly ash addition on the composting of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendl.) leaf waste, specifically in relation to changes in the C/N ratio and the number of composting microbes, and the identification of fungal species that developed during the process. The composting treatments included citronella leaf waste without alkali (K), also with the addition of alkali in the form of 2% dolomite (D), fly ash of 2% (FA1), 5% (FA2), 10% (FA3) and 15% (FA4). The analysis used in this study was a quantitative descriptive analysis related to the analysis of C-organic and total N, as well as composting microbes. Quantitative descriptive analysis was employed to assess C-organic content, total nitrogen, and microbial populations. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of fly ash influenced both the C/N ratio and microbial abundance. The addition of 10% fly ash proved to be the most effective treatment, increasing nitrogen content and reducing the C/N ratio to 26, while supporting bacterial growth up to 3.0 × 10¹¹ CFU/g. Fungal identification revealed the presence of Rhizopus sp., Trichoderma sp., and Aspergillus sp., which contribute to the degradation of organic matter in citronella leaf waste.

Abstract

Seedling quality contributes significantly to the development of industrial forest plantations. This study assessed Dicranopteris linearis (Resam) and rice husk charcoal mixtures as an alternative nursery media for Acacia mangium Willd. seedlings. The study was carried out using a Completely Randomized Design, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. Five mixtures of resam and rice husk charcoal were tested: A (100% control), B (80%:20%), C (70%:30%), D (60%:40%), and E (50%:50%). The ratio of 70%:30% yielded the best performance, with a mean height of 12.84 cm, fresh weight of 4.63 grams, dry shoot weight of 1.53 grams, and a Seedling Quality Index (SQI) of 0.0018. These findings highlight mixed media C as the most effective composition and confirm the potential of resam and rice husk charcoal mixture as an effective and sustainable nursery media for industrial forest plantation.

Abstract

The Pengulu Tribe in Limun District, Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province, has long used the fruit of *Scaphium macropodum*—locally known as "merpayang" or "mempayang"—as a traditional medicine. *Scaphium macropodum* belongs to the Sterculiaceae family and has a broader distribution compared to its seven subspecies. This study investigates the ecology of *S. macropodum* to provide initial information on its use by the Pengulu Tribe, as well as the population and habitat conditions in Sarolangun Jambi's production forest. The study aims to estimate the population of *S. macropodum* in the forest and analyze the ecological factors influencing its habitat. Conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, the research utilized observation, interviews, and literature review methods, with data analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. Ecological factors were examined using the Importance Value Index (INP), diversity and evenness indices, community similarity index (Ward method), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The study identified 47 species from 18 tree families within the *S. macropodum* habitat. The dominant species in two research sites, APL NM and HA DM, were *Shorea parviflora* (meranti). At HL DT and APL DM, the dominant species were *Shorea multiflora* (squirrel coconut) and *Canarium* sp. (mosquito legs). The Shannon-Wiener diversity analysis indicated moderate diversity and evenness across the four sites. APL NM and HA DM had significant community similarity (90.81%), while APL DM had a lower diversity index compared to the other sites.
