Abstract

Soil formation is the result of interactions between various processes, including geomorphological and pedological processes, where the soil body must be seen as a dynamic medium. Soil development is determined by soil formation factors, namely climate, topography, organisms, parent material, and time. In the process of soil formation, soil formation factors interact in the form of physical, chemical, and biological processes. The physical properties of the soil consist of soil color, soil texture, soil structure, soil consistency, soil pores, aggregates, coarse materials, mineral modules, and root conditions. The chemical properties of the soil include Base Saturation (BS), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), pH, Organic Carbon, and CaCO3 content. Meanwhile, the biological aspect of the soil consists of organism activities within the soil. The purpose of this study is: 1) to classify soil properties or group soils into specific classes based on their similar characteristics and features, including physical, chemical, and biological properties in the field; 2) to determine the soil type names based on the Technical Guidelines for National Soil Classification (BP3KP, 2014) and Soil Taxonomy Classification (USDA 2015) criteria. The method used is a survey method with a transect approach pattern and observation of pit profile types. The research results indicate that the soil type formed in the research location according to the criteria of the Technical Guidelines for National Soil Classification (BP3KP, 2014) is the Kambisol soil type. Approaching the Soil Taxonomy Classification (USDA 2015), this soil is included in the Inceptisol order, Tropept suborder, and Dystropept Great Group.

Abstract

It is important to recognize that horticultural products not only meet our nutritional needs but also support economic and ecological well-being. Beyond their nutritional aspects, horticultural products also have a positive impact on the environment. The planting of ornamental trees, flowers, and urban gardens helps absorb carbon dioxide, filter air pollution, and create habitats for wildlife. The spoilage of horticultural products is a complex and significant issue in the agricultural industry and food supply chain. In the context of global food security, food waste caused by the spoilage of horticultural products is a serious problem. The preservation of horticultural products using ozone technology is an innovative approach that has gained attention for extending shelf life, reducing damage from pathogenic microorganisms, and maintaining the quality and freshness of the products. This paper seeks the latest information on the use of ozone in the preservation of horticultural products and the challenges associated with it. The study employs a literature review method as the primary approach to data collection. Ozone (O3), a form of oxygen with strong oxidative properties, has proven to be highly effective in combating pathogenic microorganisms, eliminating unwanted odors, and extending the shelf life of horticultural products. However, despite its significant benefits, the use of ozone must be carried out with caution to avoid potential negative impacts on humans and the environment.

Abstract

The management of small islands in border areas, especially those bordering neighboring countries, is carried out to maintain the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia, safeguard national defense and security, improve the welfare of local communities, and develop business opportunities through bilateral cooperation. Another urgent consideration is the complex biogeophysical characteristics of small islands. As mentioned by Agus Dermawan in his presentation, these biogeophysical characteristics include: a) Being separated from the mainland, making them insular; b) Lacking a hinterland and being close to the coast; c) Unable to influence marine hydroclimate; d) Having small catchment areas; e) Limited freshwater sources, catchment areas, and food crops; f) The existence of small islands is influenced by coral reef ecosystems, mangrove forests, and seagrass beds; g) They are highly vulnerable to climate change, both natural and human-induced. Addressing the challenges of coastal areas and small islands from a geographical approach involves the availability of fast, accurate, and objective data. Data is crucial in determining the direction and strategy of policies in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of comprehensive development, particularly for small islands. To meet these needs, the Geography Education Program at Pattimura University and its graduates, including stakeholders, can prioritize several career and policy fields in the era of Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and Society 5.0. These fields include: 1. Satellite imagery and remote sensing analysis; 2. Map production: remote sensing results and satellite image processing; 3. Urban spatial planning analysts, planners, and surveyors; 4. Transportation sector analysts and workers; 5. Edupreneurship; 6. Environmental management; 7. Private sector roles; 8. Disaster management; 9. Tour guides; 10. Environmental destination journalism

Abstract

This study compares the red cherry coffee harvesting method and the mixed-maturity coffee harvesting method in Suban Ayam Village, Rejang Lebong Regency, with an emphasis on farm income. The maturity of coffee cherries at harvest, particularly in the form of red cherry picking or various other stages of ripeness, results in coffee with different characteristics. The research aims to analyze the economic and cultural differences between these coffee harvesting methods. Primary data were collected through observations and direct interviews with farmers using questionnaires. Data analysis involved evaluating production costs, revenue and income, and R/C ratios, as well as comparing profits and expenses. The results show significant differences in production costs between red cherry coffee and mixed-maturity coffee, with red cherry coffee having lower production costs. The revenue from red cherry coffee was also higher per unit area per year, resulting in higher net income. Both methods have an R/C ratio greater than 1, indicating that both are feasible and profitable, but the R/C ratio for red cherry coffee (8.70) is higher, demonstrating its economic superiority. With the same land area and planting area, red cherry coffee has an R/C ratio of 7.6, indicating higher efficiency in generating greater income. These findings reflect the advantage for coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village in using the red cherry coffee harvesting method. In conclusion, the red cherry harvesting method is more profitable in terms of income and economic efficiency compared to the mixed-maturity method. These results reflect the preference of coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village for the red cherry method, which is more financially advantageous.
