Abstract

Timber extraction in private forests in Indonesia is carried out using appropriate technology. Motorbike extraction is one of the means of timber extraction widely used in private forests in Indonesia. This research aimed to analyze the working time and productivity of timber extraction using motorbikes in private forests. The research was conducted in a private forest in Probolinggo, East Java. The terrain conditions at the study site were partly flat and partly rather steep. The study site can only be accessed through a footpath that is 2 m wide. Observations were made on three motorbikes. The number of trips for each motorbike was 11 trips. The skidding distance was 300 m. Data on timber extraction work time were obtained through video analysis. Production data on timber extraction were obtained through direct measurements in the field. The research showed that the work time spent to transport timber from private forests using motorbikes was 18.18 minutes per trip. The loaded travel spent the highest working time, followed by the empty travel, logs stacking, unloading, and traveling to logs. The efficiency of timber extraction using motorbikes in private forests was 82.11%. The productivity of timber extraction was 0.61 m3/hour or 0.002 m3/hour.m. Keywords: appropriate technology, motorbike, private forests, timber extraction, working time

Abstract

The continuous eruption of the Bromo Tengger Semeru volcanic complex may have impacted the overall biodiversity in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, including amphibians and reptiles. On the other hand, restrictions on traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic may positively impact nature by minimizing the tourism-disturbance. This study analyzes the diversity of reptiles and amphibians before and after COVID-19 and Semeru eruption at Ranu Darungan and Blok Ireng-Ireng (utilization zone) of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park during three continuous surveys (2019, 2021, and 2022). Preliminary sampling was conducted in August 2021, whereas extensive sampling was carried out in March–May 2022 using a visual encounter survey on two habitat conditions (terrestrial and aquatic); we used previous survey data for 2019. The continuous surveys in Ranu Darungan and Blok Ireng-Ireng showed the herpetofauna diversity consisting of 19 amphibian species (6 families) and 11 reptile species (5 families), where sampling effort in 2022 was adequate to reflect the overall herpetofauna diversity. There was a decrease in the species diversity index in Ranu Darungan after the Semeru eruption, indicating an increase in environmental stress for amphibians. However, the expected trend was not observed before and after the COVID-19 pandemic; other factors (besides reduced human activity at the site) may have contributed. Keywords: amphibian, diversity, herpetofauna, national park, reptile

Abstract

The interacting effects of stem decapitation, water-deficit stress, and pot size on the growth, morpho-anatomical, and physiological traits of Pterocarpus indicus seedlings were analyzed in this study. Changes in root collar diameter (RCD), biomass allocation, number of leaflets (NL), mean leaf area, guard cell size, stomatal aperture size, phloem cap fiber (PCF) thickness, xylem vessel density (XVD), relative leaf water content (RWC), stomatal conductance (gsw), transpiration rate (E), fluorescence quantum yield, transpiration (E), photosynthesis (PN), and electron transport rate (ETR) of decapitated and undecapitated P. indicus seedlings in different pot sizes (small, medium, large) and watering regimes (every 2, 7, and 14 days) were analyzed. The decapitation × water-deficit stress × and pot size interaction did not affect growth and morpho-anatomical variables, but they did on most of the physiological traits. Decapitated seedlings watered every 14 days and planted in medium or large pots have lower gsw, PN, E, and RWC. While the RCD of large-potted and water-stressed (every 14 days) seedlings decreased, allocations to stem and fine roots increased. Moreover, the NL and PCF significantly decreased, while the ETR and XVD significantly increased in decapitated and water-stressed seedlings. Overall, the decapitation-watering interaction caused significant stress to P. indicus seedlings. Keywords: biomass allocations, decapitation, drought stress, multiple stress, xylem vessel density

Abstract

Mangrove forests are important ecosystems. However, land conversion and degradation have destroyed a significant area of mangrove. Mangrove restoration employing native species has been performed in several degraded areas, including some North Sumatra regions. However, information regarding floristic diversity in monoculture restoration areas is still limited. This research aims to analyze the floristic diversity in the mangrove restoration area, which is dominated by Soneratia alba species in Pasar Rawa Village, North Sumatra. The plotted path approach was employed for vegetation analysis in a 3-ha area in Pasar Rawa. The findings revealed that 8 (eight) species were found in the S. alba restoration area. The highest Important Value Index (IVI) in the seedling stage was found in Acanthus ilicifolius, while at the sapling and tree stages, S. alba was the highest. The highest diversity index was obtained at the sapling stage, which was 1.46 (medium), and the lowest was obtained at the tree stages, which were 0.26 (low). The result showed a new recruitment of seedlings in the research location, although the species diversity value is still lower. The appearance of new species, particularly pioneer species, in the research area indicates that natural succession processes are currently taking place. Keywords: floristic, mangrove, monospecies, restoration, Sonneratia alba

Abstract

Halu Oleo University (UHO) Botanical Garden is one of the green open spaces that contribute to maintaining climate stability and environmental comfort in Kendari City, along with the high land use change due to increased population and city progress. The study aimed to determine the effect of land cover types on microclimate in UHO Botanical Garden and its surroundings. The research was conducted from June 2021 to January 2022. The research was conducted on three types of vegetation land cover.  The variables measured were microclimate, including light intensity, temperature, relative humidity, and temperature humidity index. Measurements were conducted in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The method used was descriptive quantitative and statistical analysis using the analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD) test. The results showed that the microclimatic conditions of UHO Botanical Garden in tree-dominant land cover are more comfortable and significantly different from grass-dominant and settlement-dominant, but they are not significantly different between grass-dominant and settlement-dominant. This fact indicates the importance of the conservation of tree vegetation and the need for supervision so that there is no diversion of functions into settlements to maintain the preservation and sustainability of UHO Botanical Garden as one of the green open spaces that control climate stability and environmental comfort in Kendari City. Keywords: botanical garden, microclimate, settlement, temperature humidity index, vegetation

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the qualities of bamboo-oriented strand board (BOSB) made from Dendrocalamus asper bamboo strands, both with and without steam treatment. Furthermore, the effect of exposure length to natural weathering on the physical and mechanical characteristics of BOSB was examined. The steam treatment lasted one hour at 126°C and a pressure of 0.14 MPa. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and paraffin were utilized as adhesives and additives, with concentrations of 5% and 1%, respectively, based on oven-dried weight. The BOSB was exposed to natural weathering in different exposure durations (0, 1, and 3 months) in Bukit Bogor Raya Pajajaran, West Java, Indonesia. Subsequently, the BOSB was tested for its physical and mechanical properties and retention value. The result showed that steam treatment improved the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of BOSB bonded with MDI adhesive more than untreated BOSB. However, steam treatment has a better protection level against natural degradation than untreated samples. These confirm that BOSB with steam treatment is a durable and sustainable construction material. Keywords: bamboo, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, natural weathering, oriented strand board, steam treatment

Abstract

Mangrove forests on small islands play an essential role in the stability of island ecosystems. It is crucial to analyze the performance of local institutions in forest management to increase the community’s active role in preserving mangrove forests. This research aims to analyze the performance of local institutions managing mangroves on small islands. The research was conducted on Buano Island, Maluku, Indonesia. In-depth interviews and participant observation were used to obtain data. Data analysis uses a Situation, Structure, Behavior, and Performance (SSBP) approach. The research results show that the community is very dependent on mangrove forests. Resources are owned by the clan group (Soa) but managed by members of the clan group (family). Thus, the phenomenon occurs when common pool resources are managed by private (Dati/Nuru) proprietors. The community regulates the utilization of potential forest resources by dividing management areas controlled by each Soa/Nuru group. The preservation of natural potential on Buano Island is supervised by Kewang and Sasi culture. Applying customary rules increases the community’s active role in managing resources and supporting village management. However, mangrove forest logging activities continue to occur. This performance shows a very high decline in mangrove forest vegetation and regeneration of mangrove forests. Stakeholder support is needed to increase the knowledge and skills of the community, especially traditional leaders, in implementing sustainable forest management.

Abstract

Logging in the Amazon using reduced impact methods has high potential. However, one of the problems of forest management is an accurate estimation of the wood stock of a forest. Thinning equations allow for the analysis of the volume and fluctuations in diameter along the trunk of a tree, making it possible to estimate the volume, diameter, or height based on known dimensions of the trunk. Therefore, this study aimed to adjust and evaluate two thinning equations in a forest management area in the Western Amazon, in the municipality of Xapuri, state of Acre, Brazil, comparing them and selecting the one that presented the best performance for the study area. The study involved sampling in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve, utilizing 53 work units and employing the Kozak and linearized Demaerschalk models. These models were assessed based on their determination coefficient, standard error percentage, and graphical analysis of residues. The Demaerschalk model exhibited superior performance, with R² adj. of 92.88% for commercial height and 95.68% for total height. This research contributes to efficiently estimating tree dimensions, essential for sustainable forest management in the Western Amazon. The application of the Demaerschalk model provides precise measurements, enhancing the accuracy of volume calculations and facilitating effective forest management practices.

Abstract

Malabayabas (Tristaniopsis decorticata (Merr.) Peter G. Wilson & J.T. Waterh.) of the Myrtaceae family is a vulnerable endemic tree species in the Philippines. Poor development and low regeneration rates of seedlings in their natural habitats have led to a considerable population decline of the species. This study aimed to determine the morphological and physiological growth responses of T. decorticata seedlings in different soil media inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi applied once at a rate of 5 g per seedling for the entire duration of the experiment. Morphological parameters were collected using conventional methods, while physiological parameters were measured using LI-6400 XT Portable Photosynthesis System. Results of the study revealed that the morphological growth of seedlings was generally better in Bantay soil regardless of treatments than in Lipa soil. Interestingly, the net photosynthesis, transpiration rate, and water-use efficiency were generally higher in Lipa unsterilized soil inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. However, this study can not yet confirm the percentage of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) root colonization. Thus, further research must be conducted to determine the AMF root colonization and identify potential indigenous mycorrhizal fungi in both soil media. Keywords: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, endemic, net photosynthesis, transpiration rate, Tristanipsis decorticata

Abstract

Indicators of surface roughness and surface-free energy can represent the improvement in wood surface quality. In this study, those two indicators were used to determine the change in the samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood surface following two modification steps, namely impregnation and heat treatment. The first step was boron impregnation in two forms applied separately, i.e., boric acid and borax. The second step was impregnation of methyl methacrylate followed by heat treatment at 90°C and 180°C. Surface roughness was determined following the ISO 4287:1997 standard, and surface free energy was analyzed using the Rabel Method. The results showed that the radial surface of samama wood naturally had a lower roughness than the tangential surface. Impregnation with boric acid, borax, and methyl methacrylate increased the wood surface roughness. However, heat treatment at 180°C tended to smooth the rough surface. Total surface free energy was altered after borax and methyl methacrylate impregnation. However, heat treatment seemingly withdrew the alteration. The polar components and dispersion contributed to total surface free energy with different compositions. In this study, the change in surface roughness was not congruent with the change in total surface free energy. Keywords: boron, heat treatment, impregnation, samama, surface free energy
