Abstract

The ecological integrity of many watersheds is declining due to land conversion, deforestation, and urbanization, which increase surface runoff, reduce infiltration, and trigger discharge instability. A quantitative evaluation that simultaneously links KRA, KAT, sediment load, flood frequency, and IPA parameters with water governance aspects to assess the degree of hydrological resilience in the archipelago. This study aims to assess hydrological resilience based on the carrying capacity of the water system in the Tiworo Watershed, Muna Island. The method used refers to the Minister of Forestry Regulation No. P.61/Menhut-II/2014 by measuring the variables of flow regime efficiency, annual flow coefficient, sediment load, flood intensity, and water use index. The results show that the carrying capacity of the Tiworo Watershed water system has a performance value of 96.25, which is categorized as moderate. This carrying capacity value can be interpreted as functionally having sufficient capacity, but is vulnerable to ecological and anthropogenic pressures.

Abstract

The Wanggu Watershed (DAS), located in the center of Kendari City, tends to experience development pressure due to uncontrolled land use along with increasing urban needs and infrastructure. The research aims to analyze the carrying capacity of the Wanggu Watershed based on water infrastructure investment and spatial utilization. The research method used is based on the Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. P.61/Menhut-II/2014 Concerning Monitoring and Evaluation of Watershed Management. The analysis data used includes population, value of water building investment, area of vegetation cover, area of protected areas in the watershed, and land area with a slope of 0–250. The results show that building investment in the Wanggu Watershed is in a medium urban area (224,225 inhabitants), the value of water building investment has a very high class (Rp. 73,89 billion), and the classification of the carrying capacity value of watershed building investment shows a poor class (125). Land use in the protected area of the Wanggu Watershed has a poor class (27%) due to the low level of protection in conservation areas, while cultivation areas show a very good class (106%), and the classification of the carrying capacity value of watershed land use shows a good class (87.5). This indicates that the use of area functions is in accordance with its designation. Strengthening aspects of spatial planning policies and controlling the use of protected areas need to be improved to ensure sustainable and continuous management of the Wanggu Watershed.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the effect of administering AMF on the growth of chili plants and the level of root infection of chili plants. The research was conducted in May–September 2025 using a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with one factor, namely the type of AMF consisting of four treatments: without (P0), (P1), (P2) and (P3) each treatment was given at a dose of 16 g of plants⁻1 and three replications. The parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits, and the percentage of root infection by mycorrhizae. The research data were analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by a DMRT test at the 5% level if significant effects were found. The results analysis showed that the application of AMF had no significant effect on the height of chili plants and the number of leaves at the ages of 15, 30, and 45 days after planting. However, descriptively, AMF treatment, especially mixed mycorrhiza treatment, showed a tendency to increase vegetative growth in the final growth phase. The number of chili pepper fruit did not differ significantly between treatments, although Glomus sp. inoculation resulted in the highest number of fruit compared to other treatments. The percentage of root infection increased with AMF application, indicated by the formation of hyphae, vesicles, and arbuscules, indicating the success of the mycorrhizal symbiosis with chili pepper roots. The results of the study showed that the administration of AMF has the potential to increase the physiological efficiency and nutrient uptake of chili plants, although the statistical effect is limited.

Abstract

Soil functions as a medium for plant growth, a reservoir of air and nutrients, and a habitat for various soil organisms. The effectiveness of these functions depends largely on the properties of the soil, which are generally classified into physical, chemical, and biological properties. Among other things, the physical properties of the soil play an important role in regulating soil processes related to air movement, aeration, root penetration, and the availability of nutrients for plants. This research aims to characterize the physical properties of soil based on selected parameters at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jember. Soil samples were collected and analyzed at the Soil Physics and Conservation Laboratory from September to November 2025. Parameters observed included soil water content, bulk density, particle density, porosity and soil texture using standard laboratory methods. The research results showed that the average soil water content was 63.8%. The bulk density ranged from 0.84 to 0.94 g/cm³ with an average of 0.88 g/cm³. Particle density ranged from 2.24 to 2.46 g/cm³ with an average of 2.35 g/cm³. The average porosity was 62.5%, indicating a high proportion of pore space that supports air retention and aeration. Soil texture analysis shows that the soil is dominated by clay and clay loam textures, which contribute to the high air holding capacity due to the presence of micropores
