Abstract

Gmelina arborea is among the fast-growing Industrial tree plantation species currently being used as an alternative source of the decreasing supply of commercial timber from natural-growth forests. This study focuses on disease spectral identification and analysis of G. arborea bark using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. Bark samples from both healthy and unhealthy bark with canker and death diseases were collected inside Caraga State University’s Main Campus. The methodology involved preparing bark extracts and measuring their absorbance over a wavelength range of 350 nm to 800 nm. The findings revealed distinct spectral signatures of healthy and unhealthy cankers, particularly with death disease, which exhibits a greater alteration in its spectral trend. The spectral trend of death-disease shows a drastic decrease in its absorption and the presence of troughs and peaks. On the other hand, the canker shows a decrease in its absorption. The severity of disease in the bark may potentially affect the behavior of the spectral trend; this is proven in the spectral trend of death-disease. The absorbance decreased, causing troughs at specific wavelengths as the presence of those diseases and their severity progressed. These findings show that spectral information from healthy and unhealthy bark can be used as an early detection method for tree diseases or stresses, thereby contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of G. arborea. Keywords: disease identification, healthy bark, Gmelina arborea, unhealthy bark, UV-Vis spectrometry

Abstract

The Sekampung Watershed is one of the 108 critical national watersheds designated by the government as requiring restoration of its carrying capacity. In addition to restoration challenges, a lack of coordination among various institutions has led to fragmented and uncoordinated efforts in watershed conservation. Addressing these, researching the institutional aspects of sustainable management by synergistic governance across sectors in the Sekampung watershed is crucial. This study aimed to determine the key institutions directly involved in the sustainable management of the Sekampung Watershed in Lampung Province, along with their coordination mechanisms and interrelationships. This study also aimed to identify constraints in the sustainable management implementation of the Sekampung watershed. The study employed the Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) method using questionnaires and expert discussions. The results show that the key institutions in the integrated management of the watershed to ensure the Sekampung Watershed’s functions are preserved and sustainably utilized were the provincial government institutions, governor, regent, mayor, together with the Provincial and Regency or City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park Authority (BBTNBBS), and the Way Seputih Way Sekampung Watershed and Forest Management Agency (BPDAS HL WSS). The low awareness care of the community towards watershed management was identified as a critical constraint that must be addressed for the successful sustainable management of the Way Sekampung Watershed.

Abstract

This research aimed to address the leaching phenomenon of boron preservatives in wood. The subsequent investigation focuses on wood's dimensional stabilization and wettability after a two-stage impregnation process. Samama (Anthocephallus macrophyllus) wood was impregnated with boron (boric acid, borax, and a combination of both) at a pressure of 7 atm for 4 hours, with each preservative’s concentration set at 5%. After oven drying at 60°C until achieving a 15% moisture content, the next step involves a second-stage impregnation with citric acid (at a 5% concentration) under the same pressure and duration. The final step included heat treatment at 80°C and 160°C for 4 hours. The research results indicate that boron and citric acid enhance the dimensional stabilization of samama wood. The best dimensional stabilization treatment combines boric acid, borax, citric acid, and heat treatment at 160°C. This study confirms that citric acid improves the dimensional stabilization of samama wood, whether used with boron or not. Compared to treatments without citric acid and heating, the two-stage impregnation reduces boron leaching by up to 30%. The research also recommends that all treatments exhibit good finishing properties. Keywords: Anthocephallus macrophyllus, boron, dimension stabilization, impregnation, wettability

Abstract

Sustainable forest management is expected to significantly contribute to preventing climate change and supporting the achievement of the Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink 2030. This study aims to determine the potential for biomass storage and carbon and economic valuation in the Arboretum of Forest Area with Special Purpose (KHDTK) Aek Nauli, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study used systematic sampling with random start as an inventory method. The estimation of above-ground carbon uptake used general allometric equations and benefit transfer methods for the economic value of carbon. This study found 62 species of woody plants with 5 species classified as endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, namely Agathis dammara, Dryobalanops aromatica, Tectona grandis, Pinus merkusii and Saurauia bracteosa. There are 734 individuals of woody plants, including 84% in the tree phase and 16% in the pole phase, with dominant species in both phases, namely Pinus merkusii and Schima wallichii. Potential biomass and carbon stocks in the pole phase were 4.76 tons/ha and 2.24 tons/ha, respectively, while in the tree phase were 338.69 tons/ha and 159.19 tons/ha. The total estimated carbon sequestration reached 592.42 tons.CO2e/ha. Carbon stocks’ total potential economic value is IDR 2,578,832,243 (USD 164,100). Therefore, the Arboretum of KHDTK Aek Nauli is considered to have the potential to support the achievement of the FOLU Net Sink 2030 target. It is expected that the potential economic value of carbon can be converted into real value and optimized through a carbon trading scheme to offset greenhouse gas emissions and support the sustainable management of KHDTK Aek Nauli.

Abstract

Wood-destroying termites are quite influential in Indonesia, and the subterranean termite Schedorhinotermes javanicus is one of them. This study was conducted to determine the feeding preferences of subterranean termites S. javanicus on tusam (Pinus merkusii) wood and the influence of their environment. The bait woods made of tusam boards were installed at the experimental site. The weight loss and consumption of bait woods were studied with three test times (one, two, three) months of burial. The subterranean termite specimens attacking the bait woods, soil characteristics, and weather at the experimental field were also identified. The results demonstrated that the average air temperature at the experimental site was 25.4 ± 0.4°C, the average air humidity reached 88.8 ± 2.4%, and the light intensity at the experimental site ranged from 175.67 lux to 3889.7 lux. The results showed that S. javanicus quite actively attacked the bait wood. This can be seen from the high weight loss (35.03%) and the wood consumption (38.78 g). The weight loss after three exposure times in the experimental field was up to 13.54%, 16.38%, and 35.03%, respectively. The wood consumption during the same experimental period reached 14.9 g, 18.25 g, and 38.78 g, sequentially. The high weight loss and the consumption of bait wood indicate the high feeding preference of the subterranean termites S. javanicus on tusam wood. Keywords: field test, Pinus merkusii, Schedorhinotermes javanicus, weight loss, wood consumption

Abstract

This study aims to estimate vegetation biomass and spatial distribution of carbon stocks in Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) Mungku Baru, Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. KHDTK Mungku Baru is a former logging area from the 1970s, which has undergone secondary succession and is dominated by pole and sapling levels. The approach used in this study involves remote sensing technology and field inventory data, which allows carbon stock calculations to be carried out quickly and accurately over a very large area. A linear regression algorithm was used to obtain a spatial model of carbon stocks using NDVI obtained from Landsat as a predictor. The developed model shows positive correlation results with an R2 value of 0.70; an Adjusted R2 value of 0.69 with a p-level < 0.05, and RMSE of 42 tons/ha. This carbon stock mapping results serve as a basis for formulating various management plans for KHDTK Mungku Baru regarding ecological, social, and economic aspects. Keywords: carbon stocks, normalized difference vegetation index, spatial model, special purpose forest area, vegetation biomass

Abstract

Large-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) and mangium (Acacia mangium Willd) have been the preferred wood for furniture and cabinets for ages. S. macrophylla is famous around the world for the wood it provides. This study investigated the bending strength (modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE)) of S. macrophylla and A. mangium commercially available lumbers sold at roadside lumber dealers in northeastern Mindanao (Provinces of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur and Misamis Oriental), Philippines. Four lumbers were acquired for each species in every province. A total of 12 lumbers per species were collected from the three provinces, or 24 sampled lumbers. These lumbers were further processed into a nominal dimension of 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 27.6 cm. All samples were oven-dried at 105 ± 3°C for 24 hours inside a laboratory oven until no more moisture could be removed. The 3-point test jig was fabricated and adapted to a kidizen science-free design but modified for this study. The results show no significant differences in bending strength at a 0.01 significance level among the three provinces and between species. Overall, bending strength is comparable across provinces and species. For S. macrophylla and A. mangium, Agusan del Norte obtained the highest MOR and MOE (54.707 MPa, 63.002 MPa). The MOE of S. macrophylla in Agusan del Norte was also high (6,825 MPa), but for A. mangium, Misamis Oriental province was the highest.

Abstract

Changes in land use within coastal areas have significantly impacted the carbon stock of mangrove forests. This study examined three different land-use types including the abandonment of shrimp ponds characterized as restored mangrove forests (RMF), logged Avicennia marina (LAM) stands, and abandoned shrimp ponds (ASP) on the carbon stock in plant and soil. Eight experimental plots, each measuring 20 m x 20 m, were established in the RMF and LAM to assess the forest structure. The diameter and height of mangrove trees were measured, and both the above and belowground biomass were estimated. Three soil samples were collected randomly from each site at four different depths (0–15 cm, 15–30 cm, 30–50 cm, and 50–100 cm) to analyze the soil characteristics. Bulk density and carbon concentration were then determined from these samples. The Tukey test estimated and statistically analyzed vegetation, soil, and carbon stocks. The results indicate that the forest structure and biodiversity in RMF were higher than in LAM. Additionally, vegetation biomass and carbon stock in RMF exceeded the values estimated for LAM. The soil carbon stock at 0–100 cm depths across RMF, LAM, and ASP was similar, ranging from 204.52 to 220.20 t.C.ha-1. Nonetheless, the largest ecosystem carbon stock was estimated for RMF (306.52 t.C.ha-1), demonstrating the influence of land-use patterns on ecosystem carbon storage. According to the results, it might take longer for the ecosystem carbon in the abandoned shrimp pond in ASP to recover than it would in RMF and LAM. However, mangrove restoration in abandoned shrimp ponds is crucial to improve the forest structure, encourage ecological advantages, and accelerate carbon stock recovery.

Abstract

Afforestation is vital for environmental conservation but is hindered in arid and semi-arid regions by water scarcity and competitive vegetation. This study evaluates three pit-digging methods (traditional pits, hoedad, and auger tools) and three vegetation control strategies (mulching, mowing, and herbicide) in Rashaya al-Wadi, Lebanon. Six tree species (Quercus calliprinos, Quercus infectoria, Pistacia palaestina, Pinus pinea, Pinus halepensis, and Cedrus libani) were assessed using a randomized complete block design with 12 treatment combinations replicated across four blocks. Seedlings were planted with uniform spacing, and vegetation controls were applied once at planting. Survival and growth, measured biannually over two years as height and root collar diameter (RCD), were analyzed using ANOVA. Survival was highest with mulch (51%), followed by herbicide (35%), and lowest with mowing (1.2%) and control (1.4%). Height growth ranged from 6.75–30.44 cm with mulch, 3.72–36.89 cm with herbicide, 1.92–5.25 cm with mowing, and 1.81–6.08 cm with control. RCD growth followed similar trends. Traditional pits achieved the highest survival, while the hoedad tool had the lowest. Findings demonstrate that mulching with traditional pits enhances afforestation success and offers a sustainable solution for semi-arid regions. Further research is needed to refine methods for diverse sites. Keywords: afforestation success, competitive vegetation, environmental conservation, pit-digging methods, seedling survival

Abstract

The global focus on endangered mammals highlights urgent, effective conservation strategies addressing habitat destruction, land-use changes, poaching, agricultural expansion, and encroachment. This study aims to identify research gaps in stakeholder engagement, map research trends and assess leading contributors of endangered mammal conservation, and explore opportunities for international collaboration for biodiversity conservation. This study was done using bibliometric analysis of 716 initial documents that were further selected to 85 publications based on PRISMA guidelines in R-Studio tools. This review highlights the fact that there is a limited focus on stakeholder engagement within mammal conservation research. Countries with high biodiversity, such as Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil, contribute less to the scientific literature than high-income countries. This imbalance suggests the need for equitable research funding and expanded collaboration. Strengthening partnerships with research-intensive countries could increase publication output and knowledge sharing. Furthermore, regional cooperation with other original countries with similarly endangered species, like Malaysia and Thailand, is essential for improving research quality and optimizing resource exchange. The findings further highlight the importance of sustainable conservation practices and stakeholder engagement in effectively fostering the protection of endangered mammal species. Keywords: conservation governance, endangered species, research partnership, stakeholder engagement, systematic literature review
