Abstract

Frequent natural disasters and extreme weather increase the vulnerability to climate change in rural communities living near forests. Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies related to forest management should consider indigenous knowledge in accordance with local community conditions and needs. This study aimed to investigate the indigenous knowledge of forest management to cope with climate change challenges. The research was conducted in April - May 2024 in the southern slopes of Mount Slamet, Central Java (i.e., Gununglurah, Sokawera, and Sunyalangu Villages). The research approach uses Participatory Learning Action with descriptive-quantitative analysis based on interpretive and critical sociology. This study revealed that indigenous knowledge comprises three types of forest management. Firstly, the community categorized the forest into three types of space: sacred conservation forests (Tabet), protected forests in steep areas, and production forests using agroforestry. Secondly, the schedule of forest management activities was based on the traditional seasonal calendar (Pranatamangsa). Thirdly, plant types were selected based on their functions, i.e., productions, conservations, and spirituals.

Abstract

The canopy temperature of rice is a critical concern due to rising air temperatures and the increasing risk of heat damage. In this study, we investigated the canopy temperature difference (CTd) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) in the Japonica rice cultivars ‘Himenorin’ (HR) and ‘Nikomaru’ (NM). Additionally, we examined the effect of irrigating cooler water (ICWr) on canopy temperature, particularly its impact on CTD reduction, compared to a control plot. The results showed that CTd in HR was lower than in NM. Furthermore, CTD reached 2.23 °C in HR and 2.35 °C in NM under shallower ponding conditions. ICWr effectively reduced the canopy temperature in both cultivars and decreased CTD to a negative value. These findings highlight that ICWr can mitigate canopy temperature increases under more intense solar radiation and high air temperatures. Therefore, implementing ICWr in rice fields may serve as a potential countermeasure to reduce heat damage in rice by lowering canopy temperature. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and enhance strategies for mitigating heat exposure, ensuring rice resilience and sustainability in a changing climate.

Abstract

In the study area, water flow in rice fields was consistent throughout the year in the last decade, which reduced the urgency for strong institutional frameworks. Disputes over water allocation and the neglect of planting schedules between upstream, midstream, and downstream farmers show the need for stronger institutions. This study aims to work with farmers to integrate traditional knowledge into irrigation management. Using a qualitative approach, key informants—farmers, traditional leaders, and local officials—were purposively selected to capture diverse perspectives. The collaborative process involved building trust, dialogue, and joint problem-solving. Farmers proposed solutions rooted in local traditions: Mufakat (consensus) for communal maintenance, Alek Banda (harvest ceremonies) to strengthen unity, and matrilineal land systems to encourage participation. The study concludes that integrating these practices can enhance equitable and sustainable water governance.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the Indonesian government has been recommending double-row transplanting systems, i.e., Jajar Legowo (JL) and Jejer Manten (JM), to increase rice production. These systems have been reported to obtain higher yield of Indica rice cultivars than the standard tile (TL) system, primarily due to the border effect. However, scientific investigations of the border effect in these transplanting systems remain limited. This study was conducted during the summer seasons in Japan in 2022 and 2023 to observe the plant growth and yield of a Japonica rice cultivar, Nikomaru, and to investigate differences in meteorological properties, such as intercepted solar radiation (SRint). The study found that higher plant competition for light in JM and JL caused a lower tiller number and above-ground biomass (Wt) per hill than in TL. However, due to denser planting, JM and JL obtained higher tiller numbers, Wt, and sink capacity per unit area than TL. Additionally, the denser canopy in JM and JL compared to TL increased SRint by the whole canopy, even though the space between the double rows was wider. Although SRint was not significantly different amongthe systems, higher normalized difference vegetation index in JM and JL was strongly correlated with a higher sink filling rate due to the healthier canopy absorbing more solar radiation. The synergistic effect of higher sink capacity and sink filling rate led to higher yields in JM and JL than in TL. This study suggests that JM is the best transplanting system for increasing rice yield.

Abstract

The water balance (WB) of three irrigated and isolated rice fields (1, 2, and 3) was examined during the dry season of rice cultivation in Makurdi from April 5 to May 6, 2023. Rice is mostly cultivated in the wet season, while dry season rice cultivation is limited by high irrigation costs, funding, and technical knowledge amidst vast water resources around the floodplains. Limited or no research estimates the water balance of a rice field in dry season Makurdi. WB took account of water inputs, outputs, and changes in soil water content (ΔW) in each water balance period. In Field 1, the WB showed a negative ΔW (–42.94 mm), which suggests that adequate water inputs are required to balance the water lost (outputs). The WB showed a positive ΔW of (89.36 mm and 464.75 mm) in Fields 2 and 3, suggesting that the water inputs be minimized to avoid wastage. The total irrigation in Fields 1, 2, and 3 was 499.28 mm, 1,186.95 mm, and 1,400.27 mm, respectively. The irrigation efficiency in Fields 1, 2, and 3 was 39.8%, 29.9%, and 20.9% respectively. The result indicates that Field 1’s rice cultivation can be improved by providing adequate irrigation and enhancing the soil water retention capacity, while proper irrigation scheduling can improve Fields 2 and 3 rice productivity.

Abstract

Effective CO2 sequestration (SC) in rehabilitated tropical forest depends heavily on species performance and competition dynamics. This study evaluates SC potential and interspecific competition of native lowland forest tree species in Bedegung Biodiversity Park, South Sumatra, Indonesia―an area rehabilitated since 2014 through collaboration between the South Sumatra Provincial Environmental Service, National Gas Company (PGN), and IPB University. Despite the rehabilitation efforts, early planting did not consider the planting distances (Lij), impacting tree density (Dx) and individual competition index (CIi)―factors directly influencing SC. From 2020 to 2023, monitoring of tree diameter, height, and Lij data collected within a 60 × 20 m permanent plot revealed a decline in Dx from 900 ind ha–1 in 2020 to 725 ind ha–1 in 2023, primarily due increased competition. The site’s average SC reached 69.91 tCO2 ha–1 y–1, lower than mature tropical forests due to stand age. Among all species, Bayur (Pterospermum javanicum) exhibited superior SC performance, sequestering 10.02 ± 6.98 tCO2 ind–1 y–1―well above the mean―and showing increased resilience, indicaed by 1/CIi from 0.62 to 4.38. These results highlight Bayur’s exceptional role in SC under competitive pressure. For enhanced SC outcomes, management interventions such as thinning, fertilization, remove the weeds, and removing dead trees are urgently recommended. Prioritizing species with high SC potential and adaptive performance, like Bayur, is essential for optimizing carbon gains in forest rehabilitation programs.
