Abstract

Knowledge of competition at the plant community level is useful as a basis for studying competition aspects in a broader scope. One of the simplest things is understory competition due to differences in tree canopy cover. The purpose of this study was to describe the role of shade trees on competition and understory community structure. A total of 6 plots measuring 1 m × 1 m were made under stands of Ficus calosa, Ficus benjamina, and Terminalia catappa trees (Location 1 and Location 2), while 3 other plots of the same size were made under stands of Hevea brasiliensis trees (Location 3). Structure, composition and diversity were studied using vegetation analysis techniques. The results showed that Locations 1 and 2 were dominated by Phytolacca americana and Asystasia gangetica, while Location 3 was dominated by Axonopus compressus and Asystasia gangetica. Further analysis showed outlier data from the three locations indicated an abundant number of individuals of Phytolacca americana and Asystasia gangetica, and Axonopus compressus. All of these dominant species are invasive. Regression analysis shows that the projection of increasing canopy cover causes an increase in the density of certain species, but not significantly (P >0.05). The higher the dominance index, the smaller the species diversity value. Therefore, it can be concluded that a dominant species is usually competitive and can change the distribution structure and diversity of understory plants under different tree canopies.

Abstract

Kapas Island is one of the coastal tourist destinations that has a panorama of white sand with various types of plants and marine animals. Types of marine animals that are also found in coastal areas are gastropods. One measure of the biological system's sustainability is species diversity. The purpose of this study is to examine the gastropod diversity in the coastal region of Kapas Island, Tolitoli, Central Sulawesi. According to the findings of environmental parameter tests, temperatures with different substrates ranged from 29.3 °C to 32.6 °C, salinity from 33 to 38 ppt, and pH from 7.88 to 8.07. The types of Gastropods found in the study amounted to 34 species, from 26 Genus, 17 Families with 6 Orders and 2 subclasses. The Diversity Index Analysis's (H') total value for the Medium diversity category was 2.61, with findings ranging from 1.52-2.29. While the Evenness Index (E) rating ranges from 0.5 to 0.76, the medium-high evenness category's overall analysis value is 0.74. The dominance index (D) data showed no dominance amongst species, with a total index value of 0.1 and a range of 0.14 to 0.37. These results indicate that gastropods in the coastal area of ​​Kapas Island have moderate diversity and are evenly distributed. There is no dominance between species, which indicates that the gastropod community is stable with favorable environmental conditions.

Abstract

Dryland in Indonesia covers approximately 75.6% of the total land area, with a significant portion utilized for agriculture, including maize cultivation. However, the main challenge in maize farming on dryland is the low organic matter content and soil fertility, which can affect growth and yield. This study aims to review various soil tillage techniques and the application of both organic and inorganic fertilizers in maize cultivation on dryland. The soil tillage techniques examined include no-tillage, minimum tillage, and intensive tillage, focusing on fertilization efficiency and the sustainability of land management practices. The methodology employed was a literature review, analyzing publications indexed in SINTA and/or Scopus between 2019 and 2024. The results of the study indicate that the minimum tillage treatment provided the best results, with phosphorus availability of 17.55 mg/kg, potassium of 0.78 cmol/kg, and an increase in organic carbon to 2.44%, along with a slightly alkaline soil pH of 7.65. Minimum tillage was found to be effective in improving soil fertility without causing significant changes in pH, making it the best option for sustainable maize cultivation on dryland.

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max) is a primary food commodity for the people in Indonesia, with most of its needs still dependent on imports. Efforts to increase local production require a sustainable strategy, including by use biostimulants. Natural biostimulants, such as fern leaf extract, is proven to be a solution in increasing the growth of plants. This study aims to evaluate the potential use of fern leaf extract as a biostimulant on biomass and the number of root nodules in soybean plants. The method used in this study was a factorial complete randomized design with 2 factors and 3 replications. Factor A is the source of crude extract of fern leaves, control, Gleichenia linearis, Diplazium esculentum, Nephrolepis exaltata, and Blechnum orientale. Factor B is the frequency of application extracts, namely 1 time and 2 times.The results showed that the application of Diplazium esculentum leaf extract with one application significantly increased the total number of root nodules, the number of effective root nodules and vegetative phase biomass. While in Nephrolepis exaltata with one time application can significantly increase the number of total root nodules and the number of effective root nodules. This increase is indicated by the content of bioactive compounds contained in the extract, so that it can increase the growth of soybean plants by stimulating the activity of soil microorganisms.

Abstract

Chitosan is a functional material with potential for bone scaffolds due to its antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and ability to support tissue regeneration and prevent infections in graft implantation.This study aims to identify changes in functional groups in each isolation process and identify the effect of chitosan concentration  on the activity of Straphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Chitosan isolation methods are demineralization, deproteination, decolorization, and deacetylation by microwave irradiation. Analysis of chitosan functional groups using FTIR, while antibacterial activity test using diffusion method. Isolation of chitosan from pearl oyster shells (Pinctada maxima sp.) obtained a degree of deacetylation of chitosan of 95.37%. Pearl oyster shell powder identified typical peaks of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). The demineralized powder sample had calcium carbonate (CO₃²⁻) peaks that disappeared. Furthermore, the deproteinated powder sample produced peaks with amide groups (C=O dan N-H) of reduced protein. Decolorized powder samples did not show drastic changes in the bands of the deproteinated powder spectra, but the spectra could show cleaner and clearer peaks without any interference from pigments. The last, deacetylated powder sample showed a decrease in peak intensity in the 1650 cm⁻¹ (C=O amide). The analysis of the ability of chitosan to inhibit the growth of E. Coli and S. Aureus bacteria was effective at a minimum chitosan concentration of 20%. In comparison, antibacterial activity in S. aureus is better than in E. coli. Chitosan from this shell can serve as an antibacterial, but its manufacturing techniques need optimization for better efficacy.
