Abstract

Forests have a role as carbon sinks and come under the spotlight when the world is facing the climate change problem. Urban forests have functions as the most effective carbon sinks. Banda Aceh City only has 7.15 ha of urban forest, and the vegetation that grows in the urban forest is essential for carbon emissions reduction. This study aimed to determine the potential tree biomass and carbon sink value in the BNI Urban Forest, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. This study used vegetation analysis by inventory method with the census sampling method. The diameter of all trees was measured, and tree biomass, carbon stocks, and carbon sequestration were calculated. This study identified 16 tree species in the BNI Urban Forest with a total of 318 individuals, showing Casuarina equisetifolia as the most dominant tree (163 trees). The above-ground biomass, carbon stock, and carbon sequestration by the vegetation in the BNI Urban Forest were 24.66 tons/ha, 11.59 tons/ha, and 42.51 tons/ha, respectively. This study presented the vegetation conditions and the potential of carbon sequestration, which can be used to monitor and evaluate the benefits of the existence of urban forests in Banda Aceh. Keywords: carbon sequestration, carbon stock, green open space, tree biomass, urban forest

Abstract

The bird nest adoption program in Jatimulyo is one of the activities to protect birds from extinction. This activity is carried out by keeping birds that are breeding in nests in community forest habitats. The development of this concept was expected to protect the birds and increase the economic value of the community-owned forest from the non-timber sector that supported environmental sustainability. However, the program is not yet implemented in the whole area of Jatimulyo Village. This study aimed to determine the strategy for developing the bird nest adoption program in Jatimulyo Village. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with expert respondents with extensive experience and knowledge of the studied problems. The data that has been collected was analyzed using SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis results showed that an offensive strategy is needed to develop the bird nest adoption program, which can be carried out by utilizing strengths to seize opportunities. There are five alternative strategies, i.e. (1) increase the number of nest findings to be adopted to increase people's incomes; (2) take advantage of the attention of the government and other institutions to strengthen farmer groups and support the management of adoption programs; (3) opening access to birdwatching special interest tours by involving the community as local guides; (4) encourage bird protection in the Jatimulyo area and jointly promote bird nest adoption program; and (5) expanding the adoption area in Jatimulyo Village. Keywords: bird nest adoption, community forest, development strategy, SWOT analysis

Abstract

Wild grazing is the main problem faced by Baluran National Park (BNP) management. Sidomulyo Hamlet contributed to wild grazing by the cattle number of 2,220 heads. The research aims to assess the community readiness for the intensification program to reduce wild grazing in BNP and formulate alternative strategies to program successfully. The study was conducted in Sidomulyo Hamlet, Sumberwaru Village, Situbondo Regency, from June to October 2021. The location was chosen purposively, considering that it is one of the hamlets directly adjacent to the BNP. The method used a qualitative approach using Community Readiness Model by interviewing 12 key informants, consisting of the representative of BNP management, local government, and local farmers. Data were collected through interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire under Community Readiness Model Handbook. Data were analyzed using Community Readiness Assessment. The results showed that the community readiness score related to the livestock intensification program was 4.43. The level of beef cattle community readiness at the preplanning stage, the program is still in the initial planning stage, aiming to increase awareness of the farmer community with ideas that can reduce the problem. Alternative strategies that should be carried out are: introducing information about the problem, communicating with community leaders, reviewing the efforts made to determine targets and success rates, conducting focus group discussions to discuss the problem and develop strategies, and increasing media exposure. Keywords: Baluran National Park, Community Readiness Model, conservation, wild grazing

Abstract

Bamboo-based composite has been used widely for building components and furniture. Oriented flattened bamboo board (OFBB) is a composite board consisting of oriented structure sheets of flattening bamboo. This study aimed to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of the OFBB from ater (Gigantochloa atter) and betung (Dendrocalamus asper) bamboo. A three-layer flattened bamboo board using the isocyanate resin with a density target of 0.6 g/cm3 was applied. The characteristics of raw bamboo, the contact angle of OFBB, and board properties of density, moisture content, thickness swelling, and water absorption, as well as bending, internal bonding (IB), and compressive strength properties were determined to evaluate the quality of the OFBB.  Based on the findings, the thin wall thickness of ater bamboo enhanced the physical and mechanical properties of the OFBB compared to the higher wall thickness of betung bamboo.  Therefore, further development in bamboo composite products with those anatomical properties seems promising. The dimensional stability and bending properties of OFBB from ater bamboo met the quality of first grade of the Canadian Standard for OSB and waferboard, except for the IB strength. Keywords: Bamboo wall thickness, contact angle, Dendrocalamus asper, Gigantochloa atter, oriented flattened bamboo board

Abstract

The limited topsoil stock is one of the post-mining reclamation problems that will directly impact the company’s business processes. One solution that can be considered to reduce production costs is the utilization of unused materials around the mine. The settling pond sludge contains nutrients and can be used as a growing medium for plants to replace topsoil. This study examined the potential utilization of settling pond sludge through germination and sprout viability tests. This study used a completely randomized design with four composting treatments, namely 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. The number of replications was ten times and applied to several species of revegetation plants, namely Acacia mangium, Senna siamea, Falcataria moluccana, and Albizia saman, so there were 160 experimental units in total. The results showed that the settling pond sludge has organic matter reserves and low nitrogen content but is rich in P and element reserves of P and K. The physical texture of settling pond sludge was still suitable as a medium for plant growth. The addition of compost as a mixture of settling pond media had a significant effect on germination and germination viability but had no significant effect on the parameters of the germination rate. The increase in compost composition in the settling pond media mixture positively affected germination and germination survival. Based on this research, it is known that settling pond sludge can be used as a medium for growing revegetation plants. In general, the media with the addition of 50% and 75% compost gave the best germination response and viability. Keywords: Compost, post-mining reclamation, revegetation, seed germination test, settling pond sludge

Abstract

Efforts to mitigate climate change, namely reducing greenhouse gas emissions, can be carried out, among others, by utilizing trees in urban areas, which have an important role as carbon sinks. In order to determine the potential of tree species in absorbing carbon, research was conducted in the green open space area of PT. Gajah Tunggal Tbk. in Tangerang, Banten Province. This study aimed to determine the potential of tree species in absorbing carbon by measuring the diameter and height of 150 plant species of 46 families, consisting of 8,636 tree stands and 5,254 bamboo stems. The average age of the tree is over 7 years. The results showed that the potential biomass, carbon content, and CO2 absorption of plants with a diameter of 2 cm were dominated by Eucalyptus deglupta, Roystonea regia, and Pterocarpus indicus. The total biomass, carbon content, and CO2 absorption of tree and bamboo species were 880.82 tons or 413.98 tons C, equivalent to 1,519.33 t.CO2-eq. This company’s CO2 emissions in 2020 amounted to 406,073.72 t.CO2-eq. Keywords: Carbon stock, greenhouse gas, green open space, plant diversity

Abstract

Sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) plays a vital role in the Papuan indigenous community’s social, economic, and cultural life. It is a source of staple food, household income, and embedded cultural values. This research aimed to determine the extent of sago palm habitat spread using spatial data. The classification method and multispectral imaging were used by employing satellite imagery (Landsat 8 and Quick Bird) and field surveys. The sago forest coverage in Yapen islands was 87.73%, located between 9–50 masl, covering 9,456.26 ha. The results revealed that 43.53% of the habitat lies in the inclination of 2–8% (extreme gentle slope), covering 4,692.45 ha. Sago forest was found in a gleysol soil type with precipitation of 3,000-3,100 mm. The sago forest distances of 0–250 m and 251–500 m to the coastline showed that the habitat covers an area of 153.87 ha and 368.19 ha. The preferable area in this category is Raimbawi Subdistrict, followed by Kosiwo, and the less suitable area, or the marginal land, is in Windesi Subdistrict.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the potential of Rhizophora mucronata, Maclura cochinchinensis, and Ceriops tagal extracts as a dye for ecoprinting leather. The parameters evaluated were color values (L*, a*, and b*), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and ecoprinting leather color fastness. The results showed that R. mucronata extract produced a brownish-red color with the L*, a*, and b* values of 17.53, 36.27, and 30.19, respectively. M. cochinchinensis extract produced a brownish-yellow color with the L*, a*, and b* values of 34.59, 31.87, and 58.61, while C. tagal extract produced a reddish-brown color with the L*, a*, and b* values of 32.36, 36.80, and 34.06. The results of FTIR analysis of the three mangrove extracts identified several functional groups such as O-H stretch, C=O stretch, C=C aromatic, C-O-C stretch, and C-N stretch. The color fastness of wet rubbing showed that R. mucronata and C. tagal extracts have a value of 4, indicating a good category. In contrast, M. cochinchinensis extract has a value of 5, with an excellent tegory. It showed that the extracts of R. mucronata, M. cochinchinensis, and C. tagal could be used for leather coloring with the ecoprinting method.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of cross-laminated timber (CLT) characteristics from mangium (Acacia mangium) and puspa (Schima wallichii) woods and their combination using polyurethane (PU 1.2) adhesives. The manufacture of CLT began with basic adhesive characterization and thermo-mechanical analysis. Wood material’s physical and chemical properties were also tested with its response to the PU 1.2 wettability. The CLT (100 ´ 30 ´ 3.60) cm3 was manufactured with 160 g/m2 glue spread at a pressure of 0.80 MPa for 200 minutes. The CLT panels were characterized refers to the JAS 3079  standard. The results show that PU 1.2 had a gelatination time of 182.1 minutes at 25°C, was able to form urethane groups, and experienced an increase in storage modulus at 35°C. Mangium and puspa woods have different physical and chemical properties, but they interact similarly with PU 1.2 wettability. Puspa CLT panel has a higher density than mangium but lower dimensional stability. The bending mechanical properties of hybrid puspa-mangium-puspa CLT were able to match puspa CLT and have one sample of shear strength that met the JAS 3079 standard in both grain directions. Therefore, hybrid puspa-mangium-puspa CLT has the potential to be developed to improve its dimensional stability and mechanical properties.

Abstract

Proper policy is crucial to support the development of forest areas. Therefore, good planning based on supporting data is crucial. All information considering farmers’ conditions and interests in Talang Mulya Village, situated around Wan Abdul Rachman Forest Park, is urgently needed. So far, policies and programs launched have only been general and inappropriate to implement for the whole farmers. The main objective of this research was to perform fast agroforestry farmers clustering with differences in the main characters to each other using the K-means clustering algorithm and Elbow method based on 10 variables of social and land cultivation conditions. Results showed that agroforestry farmers in Talang Mulya Village could be best divided into 4 clusters with the proportion of 30%, 40%, 23.3%, and 6,67% for clusters 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Agroforestry farmers were dominated by farmers with the specific characteristics of the lowest number of families working on the land and the cultivated main plant species with a sufficient level of formal education, family dependents, farming experience, household members that help in the farm, size of land area, expenditure and income from land cultivation, and maintenance activities. The research results could be used as a consideration for determining specific and targeted activity programs to increase the cultivation capabilities and welfare of farmers in Talang Mulya Village.
