Abstract

Agriculture serves as a significant anthropogenic source of methane emissions. Numerous recent studies have examined the factors influencing methane emissions and have developed emission models. However, there is no a bridging review study related to methene emissions in Asia as one of the primary methane emitters. This review is divided into two manuscripts. In this first manuscript, I explore the process of methane emission and the factors that impact methane production and emissions. Meanwhile, the present state of studies conducted in various Asian countries and knowledge gaps are elaborated in the second manuscript. I elaborate several factors that influence methane production and their roles in the emission process. Further, I highlight that the gas is mostly produced in zero oxygen condition, although, a little concentration of methane also can be generated in oxic condition. This finding provides basic knowledge that contribute to the future research on methane emissions in rice field ecosystems.  Eventually, I also explore various recommended technical solutions to reduce the gas emission.

Abstract

To alleviate the consequence of severe biodiversity threats, fifteen national priority lakes to be rehabilitated have been declared in Indonesia. Lake Sentarum National Park (LNSP), one of the lakes, is a distinctive floodplain lake that exhibits significant vegetation and flora diversity. One particular ecosystem type in the area is dwarf swamp forest vegetation, which displays enormous amounts of floral vegetation in that area. This study intends to uncover vegetation data in the dwarf swamp forest habitat, which currently has relatively limited data series about its diversities. The vegetation specimens were collected using a 50 x 50 m line transect. Fourteen species from ten families were collected from six observation stations. The most prevalent vegetation is C. cf. ensifolius, I. mentangis, and B. acutangula. The species diversity index (H') is 1.78 (low category), and the small lake area has a greater species variety than the river area in the LNSP area. Furthermore, we found that dwarf swamp forest vegetation is mainly used as food for Apis dorsata honey bees to produce forest honey. The findings of this study will be helpful as a fundamental reference for future monitoring, research, and conservation efforts in the park.

Abstract

Agricultural activities still involve the use of synthetic pesticides to support the increase of their products. On the other hand, the use of synthetic pesticides such as organochlorines and pyrethroids may contribute to the decline of aquatic ecosystem health due to the accumulation of their residues in sediments and organisms. The current study aimed to assess the levels of organochlorine and pyrethroids pesticide residue in endemic fish and sediment from Lake Singkarak. Bilih fish and sediment samples were taken in June 2021 at ten (10) sampling sites in Lake Singkarak. The samples were extracted and analyzed by gas chromatography. Seven organochlorine compounds were measured, including aldrin, endrin, dieldrin, DDT, heptachlor, lindan, and endosulfan. Meanwhile, three compounds chosen from the pyrethroid group, cypermethrin, permethrin, and α-cypermethrin, were also measured. Four organochlorine compounds, aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, and endrin, were detected in bilih fish in three different sites. Dieldrin had the highest concentration at nd-0.007 mg/kg, followed by DDT, endrin, and aldrin. Meanwhile, in the sediments, no organochlorine compounds were detected from all observed sites. Pyrethroid compounds were detected in bilih fish at six sites. The compound with the highest concentration was permethrin (nd-0.02 mg/kg), followed by cypermethrin and α-cypermethrin. The surface sediment from three sites contained two pyrethroid residues, permethrin and α-cypermethrin, at nd-0.002 and nd-0.001 mg/kg, respectively. Our findings show that the residual levels of organochlorine and pyrethroid in bilih fish still meet the standards set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). Nevertheless, Bilih fish accumulate more pesticide than surface sediment, so it is essential to be aware of their potential accumulation in the human body as the final consumer. Restriction on synthetic pesticide application is necessary to reduce its residue input into the lake waters for ecological and human health.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has identified the Serayu Watershed as a priority area for restoration within the National Mid-Term Development Plan. One of the significant challenges in this region is the high level of soil erosion, which threatens the overall ecosystem. This study aims to estimate the amount of soil loss in the Mrica Catchment using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) Method. Various data sources were utilized, including soil type, rainfall, land cover, Digital Elevation Model, and conservation data. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were employed to calculate the critical factors required by the RUSLE Method, including soil erodibility (K), rainfall erosivity (Ri), slope length and steepness factor (LS), and cover management and conservation factor (CP). This research provides critical information for land management in Mrica Catchment. These factors were used to estimate soil loss in the Mrica Catchment, revealing a range between 62,553 tons per year (t/y) and 21,323,311 t/y, with an average value of 443.90 ton per hectare per year (t/ha/y). These results indicate high erosion potential based on the Classification of Erosion Hazard (HER). This study provides critical information for land management and offers suggestions for devising effective strategies to mitigate sedimentation impact in the Serayu Watershed. The highest soil loss values according to the RUSLE Method, both under the Environmental and Management Variable, are observed in the same location, namely, in the north of Mrica Catchment. The findings emphasize the urgent need for erosion control measures and sustainable land management practices in this priority restoration area.

Abstract

One of the prerequisites for efficiently managing lake water quality is reliable data regarding the quantity and quality of inflows water, mainly the export of nutrients from the catchment area during rainfall events. We investigated the dynamic characteristics of hydrochemicals concerning rainfall events in agricultural stream waters flowing into eutrophic lakes situated on the North Island’s central plateau of New Zealand. We utilized isotopic composition of water (δ2H-H2O and δ18O-H2O) and nitrate (δ15N-NO3- and δ18O-NO3-) along with high-frequency hydrochemical data for source identification of water and nitrate during a drought period (2020). Our findings indicate that it is essential to initially grasp the fundamental mechanisms associated with rainfall events to formulate effective strategies for minimizing nutrient losses. The methodology outlined in this research integrates stable isotope hydrology with water quality monitoring initiatives, facilitating the understanding and managing the primary governing mechanisms behind diverse contaminant losses from land to adjacent water bodies, explicitly focusing on nitrates. This approach establishes a framework that can assist in devising measures for water quality improvement capable of anticipating the repercussions of substantial rainfall events more effectively.
