Abstract

Wood panel products mainly use formaldehyde-based adhesives that release free formaldehyde and potentially cause health problems. This study aimed to develop a free-formaldehyde adhesive from cat’s eye damar (CED) resin as an alternative adhesive for plywood production. The low-quality CED resin was used to increase the added value of the resin. The adhesive formulation consists of a ratio of 30:70 (CED:benzene) dissolved for 15 minutes at 45°C. The plywood was manufactured using glue spread rates of 200, 250, and 300 g/m2 with an addition of 10% tapioca flour and hot pressed using a pressure of 2.45 MPa at 120°C for 6 minutes. The CED-based adhesive produced has a solid content of 28.76%, a pH value of 5.93, a gel time value of 70.05 minutes, and a viscosity value of 4.02 mPa.s. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis stretching of the C-H group, indicating an alkane compound. Plywood’s physical and mechanical properties bonded with CED-based adhesive increased with higher glue spread application. Utilizing a glue spread of 300 g/m2 could produce plywood with comparable physical and mechanical properties to the urea-formaldehyde-bonded plywood. Keywords: cat’s eye damar, dynamic mechanical analysis, formaldehyde-free adhesive, plywood, Shorea javanica

Abstract

Modification in the manufacturing process of bio-adhesive need to be carried out to improve the properties of sorghum bagasse particleboard, such as adding nanocatalyst into the bio-based adhesive. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of nanocatalyst in enhancing the properties of sorghum bagasse particleboard. Each nanocatalyst, such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene oxide (GO), has been added to the citric acid and molasses-based adhesives. The target density of the particleboard was 0.8 g/cm3, with a board size of 350 mm × 350 mm × 6 mm. The particleboard was pressed using a hot-pressing machine at a temperature of 200°C and 10 MPa of pressure for 10 min. The physical and mechanical properties of the particleboard were evaluated, referring to JIS A 5908:2022 standard. The result showed that adding GO into the citric acid-based adhesive obtained a higher modulus of rupture (MOR) and lower thickness swelling (TS) than the others. Consequently, adding GO is more effective than adding ZnO into the bio-based adhesive in enhancing the properties of the particleboard. Keywords: bagasse sorghum, citric acid, molasses, Nanocatalyst GO, Nanocatalyst ZnO

Abstract

Forest and peatland fires in Indonesia affect the lives of farmers near the prone areas, and their food security is impacted. This research aimed to examine the level of food security and identify the factors influencing it in the forest and peatland fires of South Kalimantan. One hundred farmers, considered vulnerable to peatland fires, from two subdistricts, namely Gambut District and Sungai Tabuk District, were interviewed. The study employed the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) method, consisting of nine food conditions questions and logistic regression analysis. This study shows that the majority of farmers experience mild food insecurity. Land status, family size, fire rate, and land size affected the farmers’ food security. Disaster mitigation education may help reduce the impact of forest and peatland fires on farmers’ food security. Additionally, support from various stakeholders will strengthen food security efforts. Keywords: farmers, fires, food security, forest, peatland

Abstract

Investigating invasive species’ morphoanatomical characteristics, such as leaf area and thickness of vascular tissues and storage cells, can reveal information about their adaptive ability and competitive advantage. Thus, we analyzed the variation in leaf, stem, and root morphoanatomical structure and stomatal conductance between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings of Broussonetia papyrifera to provide insights into management strategies to control its invasive ability. The variations in leaf area (LA), Leaf Mass per Area (LMA), stomatal density, thickness of palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues, thickness of xylem parenchyma cells, diameter of all xylem vessels in stem and roots and stomatal conductance were analyzed between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings. Results revealed that the LA and LMA of B. papyrifera were significantly larger in the sun-exposed than in the shaded condition. Seedlings exposed to sunlight also had thicker palisade mesophyll and xylem parenchyma cells. The diameter of xylem vessels in roots was also significantly higher in sun-exposed seedlings. Contrarily, a reverse pattern was observed in the diameter of stem xylem vessels (i.e., shaded > sun-exposed seedlings). Physiologically, a higher stomatal conductance was also observed in sun-exposed seedlings. In conclusion, we found significant variations in leaf, stem, and root morphoanatomy and stomatal conductance between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings of B. papyrifera. The findings of the present study may provide valuable implications for managing or controlling its invasibility in the introduced range.

Abstract

The imperative transition to renewable energy drives the need for innovation. Biomass, particularly wood pellets, has demonstrated poor performance in co-firing scenarios. This study employed pyrolysis to convert wood pellets into biochar with improved fuel quality. The biochar production and characterization were investigated at pyrolysis temperatures of 400°C to 500°C. The findings revealed significant improvements: the observed fixed carbon content increased from 67.2% to 78.8%, and the calorific value increased 1.2 times higher within the pyrolysis temperature increased. On the other hand, as the pyrolysis temperature increased from 400°C to 500°C, biochar yields decreased from 49% to 37%. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed distinct weight loss during heating, illuminating component volatilization and residue accumulation. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy elucidated structural changes, demonstrating the evolution of cellulose and hemicellulose into aromatic structures. Ultimately, these insights into biochar characteristics informed the optimization of pyrolysis processes, contributing to the production of superior biochar for renewable energy applications. Keywords: biochar, biomass, carbon storage, pyrolysis, wood pellet

Abstract

The present study investigated the leaf flushing, leaf shedding, flowering, and fruiting cycles in Tectona philippinensis Benth. & Hook.f., shedding light on its adaptation mechanisms for reproductive success and survival. A plotless inventory of tree individuals was undertaken from pre-determined observation points from January 2022 to February 2023 in Lobo, Batangas. All 430 sampled trees exhibited leaf shedding and leaf flushing, while flowering and fruiting events were observed in only 201 and 133 trees, respectively. Major leaf flushing of trees was observed in mid-October, and they generally shed in summer (peak: March). Trees bloomed in early May and reached its peak in June. Fruiting occurred in the wet season (early July to September). There was a general pattern of leaf shedding, flushing, and varying flowering and fruiting cycles, indicating adaptability to environmental changes. The species also exhibited a significant time lag (7–8 months) between leaf flushing and shedding, potentially serving as adaptive features to promote reproductive success and survival in response to changing environmental conditions. Thus, the aboveground phenology of T. philippinensis may vary depending on environmental conditions. The findings are relevant for developing in-situ conservation strategies for the species. Keywords: flowering, flushing, Lamiaceae, phenological inventory, Shedding

Abstract

Considering the benefits of mangrove forest areas and their ability to support the success of sustainable development, this study aimed to determine the attitudes of stakeholders in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (DKI Jakarta) toward the existence of mangrove areas in the North Coast of  Jakarta.  Surveys and data collection were conducted through focus group discussions and interviews. The results showed that the key actors in the development of mangrove areas in DKI Jakarta are the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, the Department of Environmental Services of DKI Jakarta Province, the Government of DKI Jakarta Province, the Government of North Jakarta City, and the Regional House of Representatives of DKI Jakarta. In addition, other stakeholders, such as the developer, park bureau, regional development and ecotourism, were included as relay variables. In addition, the study identified the entrepreneurs, fishermen, farmers, and ponds as the dependent variables, while the industries, civil society, and warehousing as the independent variables. This study identified several options for the development of mangrove areas in DKI Jakarta, such as utilizing potential areas that have not been planted with mangroves for business area development, property development, national strategic project program, and mangrove plantation. The results of this study are expected to help policymakers develop policies for mangrove development in DKI Jakarta. Keywords: DKI Jakarta, MACTOR, mangrove forest, key actors

Abstract

Logged-over natural forest has a different stand structure and composition from primary natural forest due to logging activities. This study aimed to examine forest dynamics (upgrowth, ingrowth, and mortality) of the logged-over forest in PT. Tunas Timber Lestari (TTL) Papua in both stands with and without treatments. The data used in this study were based on the measurement in the Permanent Measurement Plots (PUP) for ten years. This study grouped data into five diameter classes of 10 cm intervals and three wood species groups (meranti timber, mixed timber, and non-commercial timber). Data analysis was carried out by forming a stand structure model and calculating the rate of ingrowth, upgrowth, and mortality. The stand structure model for each species group in stands with treatment had a significant R² value compared to those without treatment. The average ingrowth rate in the stands with treatment was smaller than without treatment. The values of upgrowth varied with the increase in diameter classes for both stands with and without treatments. The mortality rate in stands without treatment tended to be higher, especially in mixed timber and non-commercial timber groups. In contrast, in the meranti timber group, the mortality rate mostly occurred in the stands with treatment. The stand structure models resulting in this study can be used as important information in determining appropriate silvicultural options for forest stands. Keywords: Forest dynamics, logged-over forest, meranti, selective logging

Abstract

Mantangan (Merremia peltata) is the most important invasive species in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) due to its fast-growing and spreading that potentially damage and threat biodiversity conservation. The objectives of this study were to determine the biomass stock and productivity of mantangan and the nutrient content of mantangan biomass grown in various classes of canopy cover. Stratified sampling was employed as a sampling method on three classes of canopy cover, i.e., sparse (light intensity > 70%), medium (light intensity 40 -70%), and dense (light intensity < 40%). A destructive method was used to collect biomass samples. The biomass harvesting was conducted twice. The first was conducted to determine biomass storage and nutrient content, and the second was conducted a month later to measure biomass productivity. The macronutrient content (N, P, K, and C-Organic) of mantangan was analyzed at the Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. The results showed that the biomass stock and productivity differed in each canopy cover class. The highest biomass stock was found in sparse canopy cover (192 kg/ha), followed by medium (188 kg/ha) and dense (179 kg/ha). Biomass productivity was highest in sparse canopy cover (93 kg/ha/month), followed by medium (79 kg/ha/month) and dense (83 kg/ha/month), respectively. Surprisingly, the nutrient content and nutrient productivity of mantangan grown on medium canopy cover were higher than that of dense and sparse.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristic of cross-laminated timber (CLT) made from puspa (Schima wallichii) wood, coconut (Cocos nucifera) trunk, and their combination using a polyurethane (PU) adhesive. The manufacturing of CLT begins with the characterization of the adhesive and wood materials used in this study. The CLT panels are made with dimensions of 100 cm × 30 cm × 3.6 cm. The laminate was organized into three layers with the face/core/back, namely puspa wood (PPP), coconut trunk (CCC), and their combination (PCP and CPC), perpendicular to each other using polyurethane adhesive with a glue spread of 160 g.m-2. The physical and mechanical properties of the CLT were assessed according to the JAS 3079 (2019) standard. The results showed that the polyurethane adhesive used in this study could cure optimally at a temperature of 30°C for 200 minutes. Puspa wood and coconut trunk had different physical and chemical properties but had similar wettability to polyurethane adhesives. The physical and mechanical characteristics of coconut CLT were better than puspa CLT. Based on the overall test results, the puspa hybrid CLT is better than the single wood species of the CLT. In contrast to coconut hybrid CLT, the single CLT of CCC was better than its hybrid CLT. Keywords: Coconut trunk, cross-laminated timber, layer combination, polyurethane adhesive, puspa wood
