Abstract

The use of plants for human needs is very high, especially among communities in suburban and rural areas. Communities are highly dependent on forests as their main source of sustenance. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of Nelambo Suon (Bikkia sp.) plant stems among the Yali tribe in Yahukimo Regency, Papua. The method used was a survey, which was conducted through field observations and interviews using questionnaires. This study was conducted in four villages, namely Sabelebi, Muhumu, Kinkun, and Ohena, in the Heriapini District of Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains. This study involved 43 respondents consisting of primary informants, key informants, and supplementary informants. The results of the study show that the Bikkia plant is widely used by the Yali tribe in the Papua Mountains. The bark can be used as a remedy for malaria, while the trunk is used to make sehen arrows, suap arrows, and wangkun sticks (for harvesting crops). As many as 88.37% of the community acknowledged that the trunk of this tree is very strong and can be used for various purposes. However, conservation efforts for this plant have not yet been undertaken by the community. Considering that Bikkia sp., found in Yahukimo, is one of several species with limited distribution in the world, conservation efforts are needed.

Abstract

Tropical frontier regions such as Keerom Regency in Papua, Indonesia, face increasing pressure to expand food production under the National Strategic Projects (PSN) for food security. However, the absence of baseline data on soil fertility and water quality constrains the design of sustainable management practices. This study evaluated the temporal variation in soil chemical properties and aquaculture water quality to establish scientific benchmarks for site-specific interventions. Soil samples from chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum) farms were collected across resting, early growth, pre-harvest, and intercropping stages, while water samples from catfish (Clarias spp.) ponds were obtained during larval, grow-out, and harvest phases. Soil pH declined from 6.5 to 4.4, accompanied by reductions in total N, P, and K and a gradual rise in EC, indicating nutrient depletion and increasing acidity. In aquaculture ponds, DO levels decreased while Ammonium and nitrite accumulated during intensive feeding, suggesting excessive organic loading and incomplete nitrification. These results reveal critical limitations in both systems that reduce productivity and environmental resilience. The findings provide essential baseline data for nutrient management, fertilizer optimization, and water-quality control, forming a scientific foundation for future integrated agriculture–aquaculture (IAA) development to strengthen regional and national food-security initiatives in Papua.
