Abstract

This study examines how the livelihood assets of farmers managing land within Community Forest areas influence their crop preferences in Laiya Village, Maros Regency, Indonesia. Using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework, farmers’ preferences were categorized into two groups: crops currently cultivated and crops they intend to develop. The data collected covered household livelihood conditions, including expenditures for activities within and outside the Community Forest area, total household expenditures, and income and earnings from both forest-based and non-forest sources. The findings show that the main commodities produced within the Community Forest area are pine resin and honey, while outside the forest area farmers cultivate rice, peanuts, porang, and ginger, as well as raise livestock such as cattle and poultry. In terms of average income contribution, pine resin accounts for approximately 27 % and is the largest source of income from the Community Forest area. However, overall, the average income generated from outside the forest area is still higher than income from Community Forest sources. As a result, most farmers prefer to expand rice and peanut cultivation outside the forest area, as these activities are perceived to be more profitable and provide more stable income. These findings suggest that farmers’ choices are influenced not only by basic subsistence needs but also by the pursuit of higher and more stable income. Limited financial and physical assets, such as low bargaining power and restricted access to pine resin sites, drive their focus on food crops outside the forest. Strengthening infrastructure, capacity building, and value-added forest product development are needed to enhance livelihoods.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) additive content, particle type, and layering technique on bonding properties of particleboard of white meranti (Shorea spp.) sawdust. The first stage examined the influence of ADP addition at concentrations of 0%, 5%, and 10% on the bonding properties of particleboard. The results indicated that all physical properties satisfied the requirements of SNI 03-2105:2006 and FAO:1966 standards; however, most mechanical properties did not meet the SNI standard, presumably due to the interference of ADP with adhesive bonding between particles. The second stage analyzed the effects of particle type and layering technique by increasing the polyurethane adhesive content to 20% without additive addition. This treatment significantly improved the mechanical properties, particularly for sawdust-based particleboard with a three-layer structure, enabling compliance with SNI 03-2105:2006 requirements. The third stage produced a particleboard prototype as an interior partition module, which exhibited physical and mechanical properties that met the applicable standards. Particleboard manufactured from white meranti sawdust bonded with 20% polyurethane adhesive is suitable for interior non-structural applications such as furniture and space partitions

Abstract

In recent years, there has been growing research interest in the use of plant extracts as candidate natural wood preservatives. Diospyros sp. wood, a member of the family Ebenaceae, is known to contain extractive compounds with potential antifungal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Diospyros sp. wood extractives as antifungal agents against the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor, which is recognized as one of the economically important wood-decaying fungi. Extraction of bioactive components was carried out using acetone and methanol, followed by fractionation with three solvents of different polarity to separate groups of compounds based on their polarity. The analysis indicated that the extractive components of Diospyros sp. wood are dominated by polar compounds. In vitro antifungal assays against T. versicolor showed no detectable inoculum growth on samples treated with Diospyros sp.extracts, either from sapwood or heartwood, indicating their effectiveness as natural wood preservatives. The Antifungal Activity (AFA) value reached 100%, demonstrating that Diospyros sp. wood extractives effectively inhibited the growth of white-rot fungi and conferred a high level of resistance to wood decay. Keywords: Antifungal Activity, Diopyros sp., Extractives, Natural Preservative, White Rot Fungi, Trametes versicolor

Abstract

Carbon is an essential element and plays a significant role in controlling climate change. One form of storage is found in aboveground biomass. This research was conducted in the Pulo Tareba Natural Tourism Area, Takome Village, West Ternate District, with an area of approximately 3 hectares. Pulo Tareba is part of the Community Forest, the Tolire Gam Jaha Forest Farmer Group, which is managed by the Ternate-Tidore Forest Management Unit. To date, quantitative data on carbon storage is not available, so this study aims to determine the potential for aboveground carbon storage, such as in living trees, dead trees, litter, and understory vegetation in the area. Data collection was carried out using the plot method in accordance with SNI 7724:2019, with plot sizes of 20 × 20 m for live and dead trees, and 2 × 2 m for litter and undergrowth. Data analysis was performed using allometric calculations from Kettering et al. (2001) and SNI 7724:2019. The research results show that the total biomass in the Pulo Tareba Natural Tourism Area reaches 399.252 tons/ha, with a total carbon storage of 187.651 tons/ha. Carbon storage based on vegetation components shows that trees are the largest contributor with a value of 94.86 tons/ha, followed by litter at 77.21 tons/ha, undergrowth at 15.58 tons/ha, and dead trees (necromass) at 0.0009 tons/ha. The results of this research can be used as a consideration for the Ternate-Tidore Forest Management Unit (KPH) and area managers in designing conservation area preservation strategies. Keywords: Allometric, Biomass, Pulo Tareba, Carbon Storage, SNI.

Abstract

Natural resource management is increasingly recognized as a critical component of sustainable development, particularly when informed by local wisdom. This paper explores the integration of indigenous knowledge systems in Sabah, Malaysia, focusing on how traditional practices contribute to effective environmental stewardship. Drawing from field observations and documented practices, including the Tagal system of the Kadazan-Dusun community, community-based mangrove tourism, and ethnobotanical knowledge, this study highlights the significance of local wisdom in fostering ecological balance and sustainability. Local wisdom encompasses a range of practices and beliefs passed down through generations, emphasizing harmony with nature and communal resource management. The findings suggest that incorporating these traditional approaches into formal Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) frameworks can enhance biodiversity conservation, promote community resilience, and ensure equitable benefits. This study advocates for policies that formally recognize and empower local communities, ensuring their knowledge and voices are integral to decision-making processes for natural resource management in Sabah, Malaysia and similar regional contexts.

Abstract

Reptiles play an important ecological role in maintaining the balance of tropical forest ecosystems. This study aimed to describe the reptile community during the dry and rainy seasons in the Kemuning Forest, Central Java, and to identify the influence of temperature and humidity variations on reptile diversity and activity patterns. Observations were conducted using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method combined with line transects during two sampling periods: May–June (dry season) and November 2016 (rainy season). Species diversity was calculated using the Shannon-Wiener Index (H′). The results recorded 12 species. The diversity index of reptiles was moderate, indicated by H′ = 1.65 in the dry season and H′ = 1.41 in the rainy season. Warmer microclimatic conditions during the dry season supported thermoregulatory activities of diurnal species such as Eutropis multifasciata and Draco haematopogon, while lower temperatures and higher humidity during the rainy season reduced surface activity. These findings indicate that temperature and humidity are the main factors regulating the structure and dynamics of tropical reptile communities and emphasize the importance of thermal ecology-based habitat management to support reptile conservation in the Kemuning Forest.

Abstract

ABSTRACTS Birds have an important role in an ecosystem, especially in the process of seed dispersal and forest regeneration. Climate change and anthropogenic influences in the form of forest conversion to non-forest are very real threats to bird species. Information in the form of knowledge or local wisdom of the community is an important factor in supporting bird conservation activities. This study aims to identify local wisdom of the community and its role in bird conservation in Mungguk Gelombang Village. The data collection technique in this study used an in-depth interview method with respondents determined using the snowball sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The results of the study showed that the Mungguk Gelombang Village Community has local wisdom in the form of seven species of birds that are considered to have magical values known as tujuh burung pemali. These seven birds are not allowed to be hunted because they are believed to bring bad luck. This makes the seven species of birds included in the list of tujuh burung pemali remain preserved in their natural habitat. KEYWORDS

Abstract

Ethnobotany is a branch of science that traditionally studies the interaction between humans and plants. One area of ethnobotany is the use of medicinal plants. People who utilize plants as medicine have an essential role in maintaining and preserving the diversity of these plants. This study aims to determine the types of medicinal plants used by the community and their conservation status in Plosorejo Village. The data collection method is purposive snowball sampling. Data collection was conducted through interviews with 18 informants, namely, people who use medicinal plants. Types, organs, processing methods, and ways of using medicinal plants are expressed as percentages, while the Species Use Value (SUV) is calculated by comparing the number of plant species with the number of informants. The study's findings revealed 37 medicinal plant species, belonging to 25 families. The SUV calculations showed that ginger (Zingiber officinale), the most valuable plant species, had the highest utility value, with an SUV of 1. The most widely used plant habitus is herbaceous (57.89%). The most commonly used way of using medicinal plants is drinking (68.85%). Based on the IUCN, the conservation status of medicinal plants includes least concern (21.62%), data deficient (16.22%), and not evaluated (62.16%). In order to safeguard medicinal plants, the community of Plosorejo Village must implement conservation measures. Effective maintenance of household gardens is a crucial community contribution and role that promotes food security, sustainability, and development.

Abstract

Johar (Senna siamea) plants are a choice for revegetation in reclaimed land due to their ability to grow in general reclaimed land soil conditions. Then, an experiment was conducted to plant these plants using Discard Washing Coal and CPP Sediment planting media, which are often found in coal mining processing, while compost and cocopeat planting media were used as controls. A total of 90 Johar plants were planted in these media in polybags (30 cm x 18 cm) with the treatments Johar A (Discard Washing Coal media + mushrooms); Johar B (CPP sediment media + mushrooms) and Johar C (soil:compost:cocopeat media = 1:1:1 + mushrooms) maintained for 12 weeks and observed weekly for stem height and stem diameter growth. The test was carried out with 30 replications. The results obtained only showed a significant difference (p <0.05) in stem height growth of Johar C and B, while other observations did not differ. The conclusion is that Johar C media (control) media containing soil, compost, and cocopeat is the best growth medium for Johar plants.

Abstract

Forest and land fires (karhutla) represent a recurring ecological problem in Bengkalis District, Riau Province. BPBD data records 31 fire incidents during 2021-2025 with a total burned area of 174.75 hectares. This study aims: (1) to evaluate community participation-based fire control efforts; and (2) to formulate a community-based fire control strategy in Sungai Batang Village, Bengkalis District. The study employs a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 6 key informants, participatory observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic analysis and SWOT framework. Findings indicate that the fire control system is in a transitional phase from reactive to planned participatory control. Four main strategies are formulated: (1) strengthening inclusive community institutional capacity; (2) developing technology-based communication and information systems; (3) building capacity through structured training; and (4) revitalizing local wisdom. These strategies are mapped into a SWOT matrix across three operational dimensions: prevention, suppression, and post-fire management.
