Abstract

In general, particle board uses formaldehyde-based synthetic adhesives. One of the ways of minimizing the use of synthetic adhesives is by using natural adhesives such as citric acid and sucrose. Previous studies on particle board particularly regarding the physical and mechanical properties of particle board made of dregs and bark fiber of sago (Metroxylon spp) based on layer composition and citric acid-sucrose ratio, show that in addition to its physical and mechanical properties, the quality of particle board is also determined by its resistance to attacks by wood destroying organisms such as termites (Coptotermes curvignathus). This study used a completely randomized factorial design (CRD) with two factors, namely layer composition (70/30, 60/40, 50/50) and citric acid- sucrose ratio (0/100, 25/75, 75/ 25, 100/0). The research found that the value of weight loss in the sample that was fed to termites at the end of the test was 7.32-13.22%. The highest average weight loss value was found in the particle layer composition of 50/50 and the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 0/100, which was 13.22%. Meanwhile, the lowest average weight loss value was found in particleboard with the particle layer composition of 70/30 and the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 100/0, which was 7,3207%. The highest percentage of termite mortality, which reached 100%, was found in particle board with the particle layer composition of 70/30 with the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 100/0. Meanwhile, the lowest percentage of termite mortality was 89.81% in a 50/50 layer composition with a 0/100 citric acid to sucrose ratio. Particle board made of sago fiber and bark with a layer composition of 70/30 and a ratio of citric acid to sucrose of 100/0, classified under class 2 durability, is the optimum treatment to resist termite attack.

Abstract

Tourism village integrate natural beauty, cultural heritage, and local traditions, requiring strategic and distinctive branding to enhance their appeal to both domestic and international tourists. This study aims to map the research landscape of tourism village branding through a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications indexed in Scopus from 1995 to 2024. A total of 300 documents were initially identified, which were reduced to 208 after data cleaning. The final dataset was analysed and visualised using Bibliometrix-Biblioshiny and VOSviewer to examine research performance and science mapping. This study explores trends in publication and citation growth, most influential journals and authors, citation metrics, and distribution patterns based on Bradford’s and Lotka’s Laws. Science mapping includes three-field plot visualisation, thematic evolution, conceptual structure networks, research positioning, overlay visualisation, and density mapping. The results reveal a steady increase in scholarly attention, particularly in areas concerning sustainability, destination image, and digital branding approaches. However, gaps remain in topics such as marketing communication and tourism village branding integration, indicating the need for further exploration. This study concludes that the field holds significant research potential, especially in strengthening global collaboration and integrating digital strategies into tourism village branding. The findings offer practical insights for academics and practitioners in developing more impactful and sustainable branding initiatives.

Abstract

Pine resin is a valuable non-timber forest product that serves as an important source of income for communities residing near forested areas. Despite ongoing extraction and utilization, limited information exists regarding the quantitative balance of this natural resource from initial reserves to final stocks. This study aims to clearly evaluate the physical and monetary balance of pine resin resources in a selected village in Gowa District South Sulawesi. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and literature review. A purposive sampling method was employed to select 20 active pine resin tappers as respondents. The physical balance was determined by calculating the initial stock, annual additions, and the final stock, while the monetary balance was derived by converting final physical stock into monetary value. The results show that the final physical stock of pine resin reaches 23.584 kg per year with a corresponding monetary value of IDR 1,420,348,288. The findings clearly indicate that pine resin resources experience continuous annual depreciation when regeneration through pine tree planting is absent. These results emphasize the urgent need for sustainable pine resin management strategies to maintain resource availability and long-term community livelihoods.

Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that requires mitigation strategies in various sectors, including forestry. Agroforestry, which combines trees with agricultural crops, is considered a strategy that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing carbon storage. This study aims to estimate and analyze the amount of carbon stored in three different land cover types found in a landscape of forest management unit (FMU), namely agroforestry coffee, monoculture coffee, and forest. Carbon stock analysis was conducted using a non-destructive approach on 36 sample plots evenly distributed across the three land cover types. The results showed that the highest carbon stock was found in forested area, followed by agroforestry coffee and monoculture coffee. However, the agroforestry system showed a fairly high carbon storage potential and was close to forest land, especially due to the presence of species such as Swietenia macrophylla and Coffea canephora. These findings indicate that the agroforestry system has great potential in climate change mitigation strategies by increasing carbon stocks, making it worthy of being an alternative to support forest conservation and rehabilitation.

Abstract

Leucaena leucocephala, commonly known as lamtoro, is an invasive species that proliferates in tropical regions, including Sumbawa Island, and poses a threat to local biodiversity. Nevertheless, the abundant biomass of this plant presents an opportunity for its utilization as a renewable energy source in the form of wood pellets. This study aims to analyze the emission characteristics of lamtoro-based wood pellets substituted with plastic waste and sodium carbonate, as a strategy to enhance energy efficiency while reducing the environmental impact of solid waste. Three pellet formulations were tested: (1) 100% lamtoro as the control, (2) lamtoro mixed with 10% plastic waste, and (3) lamtoro mixed with 10% sodium carbonate. Combustion tests were conducted using a flue gas analyzer to measure the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter. The results indicate that the addition of plastic waste significantly increased the calorific value of the pellets but also led to higher emissions of CO and NOx. In contrast, the addition of sodium carbonate demonstrated a positive effect by reducing CO emissions by 35% and NOx by 28% compared to the control, as well as improving combustion efficiency through a catalytic mechanism in the decomposition of carbon compounds. These findings suggest that lamtoro wood pellets combined with sodium carbonate are a promising alternative bioenergy source that is environmentally friendly, supports the management of invasive species, and contributes to the diversification of renewable energy sources in rural and conservation areas.

Abstract

Protected forests play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance, such as regulating water systems, controlling floods, and preserving soil fertility. However, pressure from population growth and community activities around forest areas particularly land clearing for plantations has led to significant changes in land cover. This research was conducted from May to November 2023 and aimed to calculate the land cover area for the years 2013 and 2023, as well as analyze land cover changes in the Protected Forest area of Tanantovea District, Donggala, over the ten-year period. Land cover identification and its changes were assessed using Landsat 8 satellite imagery, classified through a supervised classification method. Image data processing identified five types of land cover: primary dryland forest, secondary dryland forest, plantations, shrubs, and bare land. The results showed that the primary dryland forest experienced a decrease of 522.20 hectares, while other land cover classes increased in area. These changes were driven by the socio-economic conditions of surrounding communities, such as low-income levels, limited employment opportunities, and small land ownership. The classification accuracy reached 82%, indicating that the image interpretation was reasonably representative of actual field conditions. These findings highlight the importance of utilizing remote sensing technology to monitor land cover dynamics and support sustainable forest management decision-making.

Abstract

Central Sulawesi is one of Indonesia’s oil palm producing provinces, with a plantation area of 60,913.77 ha distributed across nine districts, including Morowali Regency. Various allegations that oil palm plantations are associated with a decline in biodiversity, particularly herpetofauna, have encouraged research on herpetofauna and mammals. This study aimed to determine the diversity of herpetofauna species in oil palm plantations in Morowali Regency at Ungkaya Village. The research sites included old oil palm plantations, young oil palm plantations, and areas with High Conservation Value (HCV). The distance between the old oil palm plantations and the young oil palm plantations was approximately ±4 km, while the distance from the old oil palm plantations to the HCV area was ±3 km, and from the young oil palm plantations to the HCV area was ±5 km. Data collection was conducted using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method combined with a 1 km transect at each land cover age. Observations were carried out between 19:00 and 21:00 WITA. The results showed that changes in land cover within oil palm plantations did not cause a reduction in the number of herpetofauna species. A total of 13 reptile and amphibian species were recorded across all land cover types. The species diversity and richness indices indicated moderate values (H′ = 2.32 and R = 2.47), suggesting that oil palm plantations can function as habitats for herpetofauna. The species evenness index value of 0.91 indicates that herpetofauna are able to inhabit oil palm plantations across all land cover ages.

Abstract

The present study aimed to conduct a comprehensive integrative morphological and micromorphological assessment of Plumeria pudica Jacq., a widely cultivated ornamental shrub of the family Apocynaceae. Specifically, the research sought to evaluate morphological diversity among seventeen accessions collected from diverse agroclimatic zones of Gujarat and Daman, India, analyze quantitative vegetative and reproductive traits along with qualitative characters, and investigate micromorphological features to understand trait variation, integration, and adaptive significance. Seventeen accessions were systematically examined for quantitative traits including plant height, leaf dimensions, branching pattern, and floral parameters, along with qualitative morphological characteristics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to analyze micromorphological structures of pollen, petal, leaf, stem, and root tissues. Statistical analyses, including Simpson’s and Shannon–Wiener diversity indices, correlation analysis, and hierarchical clustering, were performed to assess intraspecific variation, diversity patterns, and coordinated trait development. Substantial intraspecific variation was observed, particularly in plant height (122–579 cm), leaf size, branching architecture, and floral traits, supported by high diversity index values. SEM analysis revealed distinct pollen exine ornamentation, specialized petal epidermal architecture, variations in stomatal distribution, and root mycorrhizal associations indicative of adaptive strategies. Strong correlations and modular clustering demonstrated coordinated development between vegetative and floral traits. The findings highlight significant phenotypic plasticity and ecological adaptability in Plumeria pudica, providing baseline information for conservation, breeding, and horticultural improvement efforts.

Abstract

Protected areas play a vital role in biodiversity conservation and in providing recreational opportunities for the public. Jaji Aryub Park, located in Paktya Province of Afghanistan, is one of such protected area that has become a popular recreational destination over past four years. However, the park’s economic valuation had not been previously documented. For economic valuation of the park this study was conducted using Travel Cost Method (TCM). A total of 250 structured questionnaires were distributed among visitors during the 2024–2025 recreational season, complemented by face-to-face interviews with park administrators. Data were analyzed using SPSS.The findings revealed that the average number of visitors during Eid holidays, Fridays, and regular days was approximately 5,000, 500, and 75 persons per day, respectively. The total number of visitors during the 180-day recreational season of 2024–2025 was estimated 89,800 individuals. About 40% of visitors (35,920 persons) were from neighboring areas (same or adjoining districts), with an average individual expenditure of 300 AFN per person, resulting in a total expenditure of 10,776,000 AFN. The remaining 60% (53,880 visitors) came from distant areas, with an average cost of 2,500 AFN per person, amounting to a total of 134,700,000 AFN. Consequently, the total economic value of the park during the 2024–2025 recreational season was estimated at 145,476,000 AFN (approximately USD 207,822). The study also identified several key challenges affecting the park’s sustainable management and visitors’ satisfaction, including poor infrastructure, restricted areas, noncompliance with environmental protection regulations, and overcrowding during peak recreational periods.

Abstract

The existence of expanding oil palm plantations is inevitable, as it has contributed significantly to increasing household incomes. However, the continued practice of monoculture oil palm plantations in forest areas poses a critical challenge to the sustainability of the ecosystem. This study aims to analyze farmers’ perceptions and participation in oil palm-based agroforestry management, as well as the relationship. Data collection was conducted through interviews, data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach and a quantitative approach using Chi Square. The variables studied were farmer perception (X) and farmer participation (Y).The study population consisted of members of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH) in the Jangka Benah program a collaborative effort between the Forest Management Unit (KPHP) Unit XVI Tanjung Jabung Barat and the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) of Jambi Province. This program was implemented in Sungai Penoban Village and involved three farmer groups: KTH Anugerah, KTH Bukit Indah, and KTH Tri Jaya Makmur. The results of the study indicate that although farmers generally have positive perceptions, but the farmer participation is very low. The results of the Chi-Square test indicate that there is no significant relationship between perception and participation in Jangka Benah programs (0.406) with a contingency degree of 0.1 (very weak). The main factor influencing this reluctance was concern over potential economic risks, especially the perceived threat of reduced oil palm productivity. In addition, poor growth of intercrops planted three years earlier further hampered participation, ultimately leading most farmers to discontinue agroforestry practices in their oil palm plantations.
