Abstract

Agroforests in many tropical countries have long been acknowledged as substantially necessary to contribute to biodiversity conservation and community livelihood. The importance of agroforest biodiversification is now overlooked and replaced by a simplified structure due to the impact of agricultural commercialization. Land use changes have occurred in the Upper Citarum Watershed over time, converting traditional agroforests into monoculture plantations at the expense of their socio-ecological function. This paper aimed to analyze land use change dynamics and the effect of biodiversity loss on the socio-economy aspect of the rural agricultural landscape in the Upper Citarum Watershed. We conducted a survey of 95 respondents of community farmers in the agricultural landscape in Sukapura and Resmi Tingal Village using questionnaire guidelines and direct interviews to gather information. There was a significant decrease in plant diversity in some plot agroforests, which, in the previous study, was dominant to be reduced even to local extinctions. The results also show that the farmer poverty index according to BPS criteria is 12.63% of respondents who are below the poverty line. Our results imply that preserving mixed-garden (talun) patches in a landscape dominated by cash-crop gardens is one of the strategies that could conserve landscape biodiversity and increasingly a sustainable livelihood.

Abstract

Revegetation of coal mine reclamation areas contributes to environmental improvement by sequestering carbon through vegetation. This study aimed to estimate carbon stocks in reclaimed and post-mining areas of PT Adaro Indonesia using various vegetation indices to assess the areas' contribution to carbon sequestration and identify the most effective estimation method. Six vegetation indices—NDVI, RVI, SAVI, GNDVI, RDVI, and IPVI—were derived from drone-based multispectral imagery and combined with field sampling for enhanced accuracy. Carbon stock was calculated based on biomass, which correlates with tree size and other observable carbon pools. The results showed that, although the Tutupan site had lower vegetation diversity, it stored more carbon than the Paringin site. Among the indices tested, NDVI produced the most robust estimation model, demonstrating a high correlation and low standard error, indicating its strong predictive model for assessing carbon stocks in reclaimed mining lands.
