Abstract

Over the years, excessive stormwater run-off has been a primary environmental concern in almost every part of the world. This study aimed to assess the water absorption capacity and root-shoot ratio of the three native species, namely Vitex parviflora, Pterocarpus indicus, and Diospyrus discolor, in the Philippines. The study used an experimental design with a total number of 63 experimental seedlings. After over a month of transplanting, the researchers collected the data by uprooting 1 sample per box and recording its weight. The uprooted samples were then submerged into a container with enough water, and the plant waited until it absorbed enough water before being weighed again. Root and shoot ratio were also computed using its dry weight. The results showed a significant difference in terms of absorption rate between the three native species. V. parviflora garnered the highest water absorption rate, followed by P. indicus and D. discolor. Root-shoot ratio was highest in D. discolor while lowest in V. parviflora. No significant correlation was found between root and shoot biomass regarding water absorption capacity. These findings highlight the importance of selecting specific tree species for environmental management and flood mitigation efforts in the Philippines. Keywords: biomass, native species, stormwater run-off, water absorption

Abstract

This review focuses on the synthesis and application of industrial hot-melt nanostructured polyurethane adhesives (HMPUAs) used for enhancing the bonding of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) veneers. The use of PVC veneers has been identified as an effective approach to protect wood composite products, particularly MDF, due to its resistance to moisture, environmental conditions, and cost-effectiveness. However, achieving strong adhesion between PVC and MDF remains challenging due to differences in their chemical and structural properties. This study compares various synthesis methods of polyurethane adhesives, emphasizing the prepolymer method as the most efficient approach for producing high-performance HMPUAs. Key challenges include optimizing the isocyanate to hydroxyl group ratio (NCO/OH), selecting appropriate polyols, and incorporating suitable additives. The effects of nanoparticles, including nanosilica, nanolignin, phosphorus, nitrogen compounds, mica particles, and aluminum trihydrate, on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyurethane adhesives are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, the challenges of achieving consistent adhesive performance, compatibility, and durability under varying environmental conditions are addressed. The findings of this review provide essential insights into improving the synthesis of one-component HMPUAs and enhancing their applicability in MDF-PVC veneer bonding. Keywords: additives, hot melt adhesive, medium-density fiberboard, polyurethane, reactive resin

Abstract

Forest quality plays a crucial role in sustaining the functions of forest ecosystems. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable model for assessing forest quality through six dimensions: forest productivity, forest structure, soil factors, climatic conditions, topography, and anthropogenic factors. Vegetation data were collected from 138 sample plots using a stratified purposive sampling method. Soil, topography, and climate data were obtained from the SoilGrids, DEMNAS, CHIRPS, and NASA POWER websites, respectively. Anthropogenic data were derived from Sentinel-2 imagery. The forest quality assessment model was developed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results showed that forest structure, forest productivity, soil, and anthropogenic factors are valid and reliable in assessing forest quality, with forest productivity as the primary determinant. However, topographic and climatic factors were not valid for assessing forest quality due to the low variation in topographic and climatic data within the study area. The goodness-of-fit model evaluation indicated a good fit based on criteria including the chi-square, RMSEA, GFI, SRMR, AGFI, TLI, CFI, NFI, and CMIN/DF. Based on the relative weights of each dimension and indicator and using linear additive equations, a mathematical equation for the forest quality index is derived, providing a practical framework for assessing forest quality at the landscape scale, particularly in heterogeneous tropical ecosystems.

Abstract

Developing cold-setting adhesives derived from waste styrofoam (WS) of expanded polystyrene foam for laminated gmelina wood involves innovative recycling of WS into functional adhesives. As a type of thermoplastic polymer, WS can be used as an adhesive at room temperature. In this study, WS was functionalized into cold-setting adhesives through dissolution and cross-linking reaction with methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) at a concentration of 40% w/v at 60°C. The mixture was then stirred at 200 rpm for 30 minutes. The adhesive is characterized by its ability to be set at room temperature, offering environmental benefits and practical applications in wood lamination. Solids content, gelation time, viscosity, cohesion strength, functional group analysis, morphological features, and curing temperature analysis were performed to characterize the cold-setting adhesives. The WS-MDI-40% had 62.4% solids content, 906.8 mPa.s viscosity, 182.3 Pa cohesion strength, and 197.8 minutes of gelation time at room temperature. The adhesion performance was evaluated in laminated wood using gmelina wood at glue spread rates of 250 and 300 g/m2 and cold-pressed at various durations. The block shear strength value of laminated wood bonded with WS-MDI-40% at 300 g/m2 and cold-pressed for 24 hours was higher than that of other samples, reaching 8.2 MPa, which met the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS No. 234) for glued laminated timber, exceeding the minimum requirement of 5.4 MPa. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the cold-setting WS-MDI-40% were cross-linked via urethane linkages (R–NH–COO–R). The free –N=C=O groups could react with the –OH groups of gmelina wood to produce laminated wood during cold-pressing. This study suggested a recycling alternative of WS into a cold-setting wood adhesive for laminated wood, which can be utilized in interior applications. Keywords: adhesive, block shear strength, cohesion strength, cold-setting, gmelina wood

Abstract

Rapid urbanization and land-use change in Indonesian cities have led to urban heat islands, exacerbating air pollution. This situation elevates sensible heat, thereby compromising human thermal comfort. Palu City, situated in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, has experienced significant urban heat island effects in recent decades. To mitigate this issue, increased development of green open spaces is necessary. This study prioritizes urban forest development in urban areas using a spatial analysis approach. We employ a weighting and scoring system based on vegetation indices, land cover, and air temperature parameters. Our study identified three priority areas with total areas of approximately 6,741 ha, 2,746 ha, and 20,695 ha for priorities 1, 2, and 3, respectively. This study prioritizes areas with high temperatures, low vegetation cover, and bare land for urban forest development. To effectively implement the proposed urban forest development plan, this study also highlights recommendations to create a more sustainable, resilient, and livable urban environment.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Nueva Vizcaya to evaluate the growth performance of two economically important erect bamboo species, Bambusa vulgaris and Bambusa spinosa, in secondary forest and riparian ecosystems under different silvicultural treatments. A factorial experiment was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three silvicultural treatments and three sampling plots. Each sampling plot contained 36 plantlets (18 B. spinosa and 18 B. vulgaris) for both ecosystem types. The field study lasted six months, with data collected biweekly. Growth parameters measured included percent survival, average height (cm), average diameter (mm), and number of shoots. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA in MINITAB and summarized with Excel pivot tables. The results revealed significant effects of silvicultural treatments and plot location on growth parameters.  B. vulgaris exhibited more shoots than B. spinosa in the secondary forest. Ring weeding and cultivation (C2) resulted in a significantly higher number of shoots (1.85), followed by ring weeding with no cultivation (1.83), albeit fewer and shorter than those under no weeding and cultivation (1.72). Silvicultural management showed no significant correlation with other variables. A positive correlation between light intensity and growth was observed, with the highest correlation occurring at 4 pm. This pioneering study provides baseline data for monitoring the growth and performance of these bamboo species across distinct ecosystems. By offering comprehensive insights into their growth patterns and adaptability, the findings could inform sustainable management practices and conservation strategies for bamboo resources under varying environmental conditions. Keywords: Bambusa spinosa, Bambusa vulgaris, riparian, secondary forest, silvicultural treatments

Abstract

Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI), an ex-situ conservation institution in Puncak, Bogor, has developed the 4A framework to attract more tourists and enhance visitor satisfaction and loyalty, while increasing visits revenue. It has also raised the carbon footprint of tourist transportation. This study aims to analyze the vehicle emissions of tourists and their satisfaction with 4A components to predict the likelihood of repeat visits and the subsequent rise in carbon emissions. Emissions were calculated using the IPCC 2006 Guidelines (Tier 2), and the relationship between tourist satisfaction and loyalty was assessed using the structural equation model partial least squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results indicated that CO2 emissions from tourist vehicles during holidays reached 1,482,261.96 g.CO2/h, significantly higher than the 552,732.81 g.CO2/h recorded on weekdays. The analysis also revealed that tourist satisfaction and loyalty towards the 4A components significantly positively impacted the intention to revisit, as demonstrated by the T-statistics of 5.437 and P-values of 0.000, where the more satisfied the tourists are, the more loyal they are to return to TSI. Keywords: carbon footprint, IPCC, loyalty, satisfaction, SEM-PLS

Abstract

Maspari Island is the only small outermost island located in the southern part of Bangka Strait, included in the coastal area of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatra. The island harbors a mangrove ecosystem that is believed to play a significant role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage. This study aims to identify mangrove species and measure carbon stock estimates in upper-stand biomass, lower-stand/root biomass, and sediment. Identification of mangrove species using a vegetation analysis approach. Transect plots measuring 10 m × 10 m were parallel to the coastline at 6 observation station points. The diameter of vegetation at the tree and sapling levels was measured at a height of 1.3 m from the ground surface. Carbon stock estimates were calculated using allometric equations and sediment carbon analysis methods. The results identified seven mangrove species: Avicennia marina, Bruguiera sexangula, Ceriops tagal, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, and Sonneratia alba. Estimated carbon stocks of mangrove stands at all stations reached 3,443.42 tC/ha, with an average of 573.90 tC/ha, while carbon stocks in roots amounted to 862.96 tC/ha, with an average of 143.83 tC/ha. The total estimated carbon stock of mangrove sediment at all stations was 240.71 tC/ha, with an average of 40.12 MgC/ha. Sonneratia alba provided the highest carbon absorption, reaching 3,059 tC/ha for the upper stand and 697.80 tC/ha for the lower stand. Considering the contribution of the carbon storage potential in Maspari Island, this study suggests extending the investigation of the mangrove carbon fixation in other small islands in Indonesia, especially for the S. alba species.   Keywords: carbon stock, mangrove, Maspari Island, sediment, carbon stock, Sonneratia alba

Abstract

The relocation of Indonesia's capital from Jakarta to Nusantara in East Kalimantan Province has significantly affected land use, particularly in forests and agricultural resources. This study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics of land cover in the forestry and agricultural sectors within Kutai Kartanegara Regency of East Kalimantan Province. The goal is to support the smart forest city concept and enhance food sources within Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). Data related to geographical (location) and temporal (time) were analyzed using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, enabling the mapping, overlaying, and analyzing spatial data over time. The findings show that Kutai Kartanegara has 30% forested areas and 7% agricultural land. There are eight districts with dryland forests, seven with mangrove forests, and fourteen with swamp forests. The study identifies fourteen districts nominated for dryland agriculture, nine for rice fields, and seven for aquaculture. However, forest cover in both drylands and wetlands has been declining annually. Additionally, the study pinpointed potential areas for urban forest development in Tabang District and locations for food production in Anggana, Samboja, and Muara Badak. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers to optimize land allocation, ensuring sustainable resource management in the evolving ecosystems of the new capital. Keywords: IKN, land cover, food source, forestry, spatiotemporal

Abstract

Bio-charcoal briquettes are a promising alternative to fossil fuels, particularly when produced from biomass waste such as sawdust. This study investigates the effects of varying molasses adhesive concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%) on the physical and chemical properties of bio-charcoal briquettes produced from sawdust. The briquettes were analyzed for density, moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were also employed to examine surface morphology and functional groups. The results showed that increasing molasses concentration led to higher density, moisture content, and fixed carbon content, while reducing ash and volatile matter content. The 10% molasses concentration provided the highest calorific value (5,420 cal/g). The results of testing using SEM with a magnification of 2000x, featuring a particle size of 60 mesh, revealed the morphology of the briquette surface with a regular arrangement of cavities. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of O-H, C-H, and C=O groups, which contribute to molecular bonding. All samples met the SNI 01-6235-2000 standard for wood charcoal briquettes. The addition of 1% potassium chlorate further improved ignition and combustion. The findings demonstrate that molasses, as a low-cost and eco-friendly binder, effectively enhances the quality and energy performance of bio-charcoal briquettes. This study supports the development of renewable energy technologies from underutilized wood waste, promoting sustainable energy solutions and environmental conservation. Keywords: bio-charcoal briquettes, calorific value, combustion performance, molasses adhesive, sawdust waste
