Abstract

Mangrove forests form due to vegetative distribution along coastlines with varying growing conditions concerning substrate, freshwater intake, and oceanic currents. These disparities facilitate zoning and subsequent distinct growth patterns. The research objective was to identify the zoning structure of mangrove ecosystems in Lampung Timur Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The degradation of mangrove forests in Lampung Timur Regency was thought to be caused by anthropogenic activities and inappropriate zoning patterns. Concerning data collection, the cluster sampling method was employed, which was selected based on the preliminary study's findings that the mangrove status in the study area exhibits a variety of substrates, freshwater supply, and strong ocean currents. There are five clusters on the study site, with each cluster containing sample plots measuring 10m x 10m. The sampling method employed a striped path starting from the outermost part of the mangrove ecosystem, with the number of plots in each cluster dependent on the thickness of the mangrove vegetation. A regional map and GIS applications were used for mangrove zonation mapping, and the factors influencing the zonation of mangrove ecosystems were analyzed descriptively. The research findings demonstrated that the mangrove ecosystem located in Lampung Timur comprises three distinct zones: the outer zone, the middle zone, and the terrestrial zone

Abstract

Eucalyptus spp. is one of the most widely planted genera for pulp and paper industrial forests (Hutan Tanaman Industri/HTI) in the world, specifically in Indonesia, due to its productivity and wood properties. The growth and productivity of eucalypts in North Sumatra depend on the type of soil and the clone used. The purpose of this study was to look at the macronutrient content in different soil types and to evaluate the macronutrient content in plant biomass with different clones to keep the nutrient conditions in the soil maintained. This research was conducted at 3 of the eucalyptus plantation sector in North Sumatera with hybrids of eucalyptus clones that were 48 months old. Height, diameter breast height (DBH), and survival data were taken. Wood, leaf, bark, and soil samples were taken for nutrient analysis in the laboratory. The results showed that there were differences in soil macronutrients (N, P, K, Mg, and Ca) among the three types of soil. The average growth also showed a significant difference in growth in each soil order. There were differences in nutrients in plant biomass for the clones tested, and there were differences in nutrients in each part of the plant biomass. Wood and bark that were taken from the tree while harvesting had a greater amount than the biomass that stays in the field (leaf and branch). The different fertilization regimes in the research area are one way to increase the productivity of eucalyptus plants in the field

Abstract

Perlis Village is around the mangrove forest in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This village has several barren lands potentially planted with mangroves. They were considering that the livelihoods of most of the people were fishermen and mangrove crab catchers. It is necessary to plant and rehabilitate damaged mangrove forests to restore and repair the ecosystem in Perlis Village. Planting activities were carried out in locations considered suitable for planting 200 seedlings. Three transects were made to obtain vegetation analysis data and carbon content. Each transect consists of six plots in natural forest and restoration forest. When the seedlings at the planting location were 3 months old, observations were carried out again, and of the 135 plants, approximately 67.16 percent were still alive from a total of 200 seedlings planted. Carbon storage in natural forests is 69 Mg ha-1 and 41.64 Mg ha-1 in restoration forests. By enriching the methods and estimating the potential carbon stocks of natural and rehabilitated mangroves in Perlis village in the context of Indonesia's climate change mitigation strategy, it is hoped that this information has the potential to help the blue carbon research community and policymakers

Abstract

Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria) wood is used for various purposes, including furniture, plywood, pallets, and building materials. Consumer demand for decorative wood is increasing, so innovation is needed to make it more productive and efficient. A laser cutting machine is one of the alternatives to answer this problem. Because CO2 gas wavelength and energy density offer the highest cutting quality, CO2 lasers are appropriate for wood processing. This study aims to determine the effect of laser power intensity and cutting speed on cutting plywood to get the best results. The plywood used has a thickness of 12 mm. The laser intensities used were 30 Watt, 35 Watt, 40 Watt, 45 Watt, and 50 Watt with cutting speeds of 2 mm/s, 4 mm/s, 6 mm/s, and 8 mm/s, with nozzle standoff distance set to 10 mm. In each repetition on the same sheet determine the comparison or variation of each variable used. Based on the measurement results, the highest width was obtained at 50 Watt power and 2 mm/s speed, and the lowest at 35 Watt power and 8 mm/s. The highest depth was 50 Watt and 2 mm/s, and the lowest was 30 Watts and 4 mm/s. The overall color change (∆E*) increased with increasing laser power. The higher the laser power, the more the color change increases. The change in ∆E* decreased as the laser speed increased. The optimization of cutting sengon plywood with CO2 laser using RSM method resulted in an optimum combination at 40 Watt laser power and 8 mm/s speed with a desirability value of 0.623

Abstract

Sengon wood (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) is a short-rotation wood which has weak quality characteristics, i.e., low specific gravity, strength, durability, density, and dimensional stability. This study aimed to find out the impact of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and SiO2 nanoparticle impregnation treatment on mechanical properties (MOE, MOR, and hardness) and wood durability. Four kinds of solution were used to impregnate sengon wood: untreated (water), 50% MEG, MEGSiO2 0.5%, and MEGSiO2 1%. The impregnation process was initiated by applying 0.5 atm of vacuum for 60 minutes, followed by 2.5 bar of pressure for 120 minutes. The results showed that MEG and SiO2 nanoparticle impregnation treatment significantly affected the mechanical properties (MOE, MOR, and hardness) and the durability of sengon wood against dry wood and subterranean termite bites. The optimum treatment to increase the properties of sengon wood so that its strength class increases to III-IV and durability class IV was MEG SiO2 1% treatment
