Abstract

Calculation of carbon emission in tropical peatland forest still unsolved problem. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate carbon emission by using Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite. The SMAP images on January  2018 enhanced 1.3 radiometer Global Daily 9 km, EASE grid overlayed with peat map. The water table mapping obtained by using empirical relation between soil moisture and water table in January 2018 shows a pattern according to some observation. The carbon emission map on January 2018 shows the average is about 280 gC km-2.

Abstract

Car Free Day (CFD) is a social campaign aimed to reduce the dependence of people on vehicle uses, which occurs once per week in Bogor. The idea intends to decrease the vehicle emissions. However, CFD is often to cause a new problem like the congestions, which are found on the nearby alternative roads, as happened in RE Martadinata Street, Bogor City. This study aims to compare the emission load and the concentrations of pollutants in ambient air during CFD (06.00-09.00 am) and non-CFD days in alternative road. We measured the following pollutants: CO, HC, NOx, PM10 and SO2. This research first applied Fixed-Box Model to estimate concentration of pollutants, then we used the Finite Length Line Source (FLLS) to estimate dispersion of pollutants. The results showed that there was no substantial difference in pollutant emissions between CFD and non-CFD days. But if we separate between weekdays and weekend, our analysis revealed that emissions during the weekend are bigger than that of weekdays. This was consistent with an increase of number of vehicles during the weekends by 17.2%. Based on our analysis, motorcycle contributes to an increased of CO, HC, PM10 pollutants, whereas SO2 and NOx pollutants were generated by cars. Our findings suggest that a short time of CFD does not contribute a lot to reduce the emissions.

Abstract

Micro-climatic conditions may affect the growth and productivity of different genotypes of melon farm. This study aims to assess the effect of different moisture conditions in the melon’s nursery to the growth and production of different melon’s genotypes. To observe the effect of moisture, we monitored agronomical (leaf-area index, plant height, fruit weight) and micro-meteorological (transpiration, radiation interception) parameters for two treatments i.e. without modification of moisture (control) and with modification of moisture for period August-November 2015 at the Experimental Garden of IPB in Tajur II-Bogor. Totally, twelve genotypes of melon were used in the study. We found that a transpiration rate was reduced under the control treatment. It appears that the humidity treatment has a greater effect on both measured parameters. The plant height during the germination phased was affected by the humidity treatment, which was confirmed by the two statistical tests (ANOVA and t-test). In addition, our results showed that the treatment had influenced the harvesting time. Under the control treatment, melon seems to have a shorter time to harvest (about 61-63 days after planting), but a lower fruit weight. On the other hand, the modified humidity resulted in a longer time to harvest (68-71 days after planting) and a higher fruit weight. Further, with the treatment we found some genotypes that were potentially able to produce high yield, and some genotypes that were more resistant to dry conditions but they produced a relatively high yield.

Abstract

Solar radiation greatly affects the development of plant biomass. The process of plant development is complex. Here, we simplified this complexity through modeling experiment by integrating climate variables. This study aims to determine the dynamics of canopy intercepted solar radiation under soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merrill). We employed the shierary-rice model to calculate plant biomass. The results showed that intercepted radiation continuosly increased during vegetative phase, whereas the radiation remains constant during generative phase. Our observation confirmed that the pattern of intercepted radiation followed the angular pattern of sunlight. The intercepted radiation was optimum at 10:00 to 14:00 pm, and it was used to form the plant dry matter. We found that the intercepted radiation contributed until 12%. Based on this contribution, we built our crop model of soybean biomass. Our model performed well in simulating dry biomass with high R2 (0.9), and as indicated by the plot 1:1 between dry matter of model and field observations. Further, the result of t test between model and observed data confirm this strong corelation (p-value 0.07).

Abstract

Green space area has contributed to increase atmospheric condition in surrounding area. Here we would like to test the cooling effect of small green area located in IPB campus Darmaga. We monitored air temperature at the morning (6 am) and afternoon (2 pm) for period March-June 2013 in three different sites in campus. Totally, we collected 658 observed data. Our results showed that partial shade area (PSA) and site were the most influenced factors that contributed to the cooling effect. It appears that the cooling effect was found until a distance of 50 m from each monitoring site.  The cooling effect varied among sites, but it is consistent that the maximum effect occurred during afternoon. Our analysis confirmed that PSA has contributed to the cooling effect until 28%. Other factors that contributed to the cooling effect were vegetation characteristics and geometric configuration of the canopy. Further, our findings revealed that greenspace area is valuable to minimize high temperature effect from traffic street.

Abstract

Humans have contributed to an increased of particulates concentration due to their daily life activities including from transportation, industry, infrastructure and household. One common particulate found is PM10, which affects human health such as respiratory tract disorders. Weather condition controls PM10 concentration. This research aims to analyze the weather impact on PM10 concentration associated with the occurrence of acute respiratory infections. We analysed relationship between rainfall and PM10 on day to seasonal timescale resolution. Our results show a negative correlation between rainfall and PM10. It appears that season strongly influences the correlation with high and low PM10 concentration occurred during July-August (dry season) and December-February (wet season), respectively. At daily basis, our findings revealed that minimum PM10 concentration occurred at 06.00 am, and it will increase following human activities while people are going to workplace and school. Further, we found that a combining of low humidity and high PM 10 concentration will lead to high acute respiratory infections.

Abstract

The city of Pagar Alam, South Sumatra is at an altitude of 600-2700 masl. The city has climatic and soil condition suitable for red chili plants (Capsicum annuum L.) that have high economic value. However, the fluctuating amount of red pepper production throughout the year can lead to excess or lack of availability of red chili in the market. This research was conducted to use a crop model to simulate the development, growth, and production of red pepper plant. This model used daily weather as input to simulate daily biomass (kg/ha) components of roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. Comparison of fruit components from simulation with field data taken at three areas in Pagar Alam city showed model accuracy of 76% for Koramil area, 91% for Perandonan area, and 85% Pagargading area. The simulation model result show that the average monthly chili productivity varies; highest of 3376 kg/ha if planting is done in October, and the lowest of 2828 kg/ha if planting is done in February.

Abstract

Sugarcane productivity is naturally affected by climate variables and limited by the water availability. This study simulated a water balance model to estimate sugarcane water requirement and to estimate the best planting time as well based on its optimum productivity in Kediri Regency. Water requirement was estimated by water loss of evapotranspiration following FAO No. 24, while the productivity was based on mid-maturing sugarcane growth and development. Sugarcane rainfed area in Kediri Regency needs approximately 26-128 mm water per month based on its loss by evapotranspiration. The value varied due to the growth phase. More than 60% water was used in vegetative phase for developing buds and stem elongation of about 3-9 months after planting. The highest sugarcane productivity was obtained in July-September as the best planting time shown by simulation. Moreover, water deficiency during mid-season of sugarcane growth could decrease productivity by a significant amount. The work presented here could be used as a tool to help decision makers for irrigation management and select the best planting date.

Abstract

The use of economic approach on water allocation are inclusively becoming integrated on water resource management. Competing among water users is expected to escalate due to increasing water demand despite of limited water availability. This research used economic approach aiming to optimize water allocation in Ambang-Brantas subbasin, Malang, and to calculate the total benefit for different sectors of allocated water. We distinguished two scenarios (2012–2015 and 2016–2035) to reflect the existing and the future water allocation. We modelled the water allocation with the Aquarious application. In this subbasin, three main sectors of water users were identified i.e. domestic, agriculture, and industries. The results showed that the agricultural sector was the highest water demand compared to other sectors. This finding was consistent both monthly and annually. Our findings revealed that industries sector show the maximum benefit per unit water used. Based on the scenario, either a decreasing water availability by 10% or an increasing water demand by 10% will decline the total benefit by 44%. If we increase the scenario to 20% it will reduce the total benefit until 71%. This modelling exercise using Aquarius application shows that the model is a promising tool for water resource management with integration of economic approach.

Abstract

Intercepted solar radiation by leaf will influence energy balance in plant. The energy balance in leaf is a complex process, which results in biomass growth. Here, we modeled leaf energy balance to estimate dry matter growth in soybean. In the field, we measured intercepted radiation in canopy (1 meter above surface) with two treatments: soybean with 50% shading (N50%M0) and no-shading (N0%M0) twice a week. Then we sampled a biomass with destructive technique every week in each treatment. Our results showed that the intercepted radiation in no-shading treatment was higher (400 J/m2) than those in shading one (250 J/m2). The results were consistence with the high biomass growth at 12 weeks after planting, which observed in no-shading treatment. Then we validated our model by 1:1 plot test. Our finding revealed that no-shading treatment showed a good agreement with the observed biomass (closed to 1:1 plot), whereas the shading treatment tended to predict under estimate of biomass.
