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

Nutrient enrichment in waters that has become a major environmental problem is related to excessive loading of nutrients into aquatic ecosystems. This nutrient enrichment, called eutrophication, favors phytoplankton growth, which can function as a natural daphnid feed. This study examined the growth performance of the water fleas Daphnia magna in water collected from small lakes (ponds) of different trophic levels. The water was taken from Situ Rawa Kalong, considered eutrophic from its dark green color, and the less eutrophic Situ Cibuntu with relatively clear water. Daphnids were grown in six aquaria filled with water from both ponds without artificial feeding with an initial density of five individuals/L. Samples of daphnids were taken every three to four days to observe their growth and reproduction, along with water samples to analyze the chlorophyll content and total suspended solids (TSS). The result showed that the eutrophic water of Situ Rawa Kalong favored phytoplankton growth, indicated by a consistently higher chlorophyll content in the water ranging from 35.3 to 140.7 μg/L compared to less eutrophic water of Situ Cibuntu with chlorophyll content ranging from 1.4 to 13.2 μg/L throughout the experiment. A much higher daphnid density of 151.7 individuals/L was achieved with more water chlorophyll content, meaning phytoplankton availability became a controlling factor for daphnid growth in the pond waters. This study reveals the functional relationships in the food chain between the water trophic level, the abundance of phytoplankton as the primary producer, and daphnids as the first-order predator. It also suggests that the open water trophic level can be managed to favor the daphnid growth, which can then be harvested for use as natural feed.

Abstract

Flash floods, an unpredicted swift climatological disaster, frequently occur in Indonesia. However, there are limited vulnerability assessments, especially in urban and vital regions such as Bogor District. The study aims to assess the vulnerability index of Ciliwung Hulu Watersheds as one of the most susceptible areas in the district. Flash flood vulnerability index (FFVI) is selected to be calculated as the indicator. Data were obtained from the official government offices and processed using the FFVI formula referring to the work of Nasiri et al., (2019) and Perka BNPB No. 2/ 2012 and then mapped using ArcGIS 10.3. The results and the maps show that the study area is categorized as highly to very highly vulnerable to flash flood disasters. The attained results help facilitate the governance interplay processes in building a more disaster-ready management plan and to construct a more resilient society.

Abstract

Understanding the mechanisms by which algae communities respond to disturbances in the lotic aquatic environment that is polluted by heavy metals is important, considering that algae is a biotic component of waters that acts as a producer in the aquatic food chain which has the potential to bio-magnify. This study examines the influence of time, biomass weight, heavy metal concentration, sorption capacity, and efficient removal on epilithic periphyton as a bio-accumulator of Cr, Pb, and Ni. The experiment was conducted on a laboratory scale using a canal system with a length and width of 1.2 and 1.0 meters, respectively. The canal system contains 132 L of water, has a 1.2 m2 substrate and periphyton area, a depth of 0.09 – 0.10 m, and a current flow rate of 0.04 – 0.06 m/s. The dissolved Cr6+ initial concentration in the medium was 1.64 mg/L, Pb2+ and Ni2+ concentrations were 1.4 mg/L, and the adsorption process was studied for 24 hours. Based on microscope observations and functional group interpretation utilizing infrared spectra (FTIR), the periphyton community is dominated by Spirogyra sp., which has hydroxyl (O-H), carboxyl (C-H), and carbonyl (C-C and C=O) functional groups with the ability to binding heavy metals. The remaining quantities of Cr, Pb, and Ni in water were 0.43 mg/L (removal 69.29%), 0.05 mg/L (96.43% removal), and 0.03 mg/L (97.86% removal). Periphyton has a maximal sorption capacity of 1.019 mg Cr/g, 1.97 mg Pb/g, and 1.92 mg Ni/g. The sorption kinetics of Cr, Pb, and Ni follow a pseudo-second-order model with k2 = 1.686 x 10-2 g/mg.min for Cr, 4.516 x 10-3 g/mg.min for Pb, and 2.259 x 10-2 g/mg.min for Ni, with R2 of 0.965 for Cr and 0.971 for Pb and 0.972 for Ni. Periphyton can potentially play a role as a bio-accumulator in lotic habitats, adsorbing Cr, Pb, and Ni ions, according to this study.

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

Phosphate adsorption and desorption are significant processes that influence the presence of phosphate in aquatic ecosystems and regulate the concentration of phosphate at the water-sediment interface. This research aims to investigate the characteristics of phosphate adsorption and desorption in Kendari Bay sediments, study the relationship between adsorption capacity and sediment characteristics and its phosphorus fraction, and evaluate its potential contribution to the overlying water column. Physicochemical measurements of the water and sediments were performed in the sampling location and the laboratory. Two types of adsorption-desorption kinetics models and two types of isothermal adsorption models were used to estimate the adsorption rate and capacity of the surface sediments. Adsorption kinetics and desorption kinetics experiments produced pseudo-second-order kinetic model equations with regression coefficients (R2) of 0.865–0.936 and 0.886–0.947, respectively. The isothermal adsorption experiment follows the Langmuir equation model with R2 = 0.964. The maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) value was 156.3–227.3 mg/kg, and the phosphate concentration value at zero equilibrium (EPC0) was 0.0026–0.0047 mgP/L. Notably, the EPC0 value was higher than the SRP concentration, indicating that the resuspension of phosphate ions from sediment into the water column could occur. Furthermore, there was a correlation between Qmax values with OP, Al-P, Fe-P, clay particles, and organic materials. Potential practical applications may include integrating sediment adsorption capacity data into ecosystem models to inform nutrient management strategies and promote sustainable coastal development in Kendari Bay and beyond.

Abstract

The presence and establishment of invasive alien fish species is one of the biggest threats to aquatic biodiversity. The red devil, Amphilopus citrinellus, is one of the emerging invasive species and its occurrence is massively detected in common water bodies in tropical areas such as Indonesia. However, the topic remains under-reported from the small urban lakes. This study aims to present the reproductive characteristics of the fish in Situ Cilodong, a small urban lake in the country, that can be used as a principal reference for population control. The sampling was conducted in June 2021 and May 2022 using a mix of seven mesh-sized gillnets. The results of the length-weight relationship reveal that both the female and male fish perform isometric growth type. The calculated Gonad Somatic Index (GSI) and the histological analysis confirmed that the fish is a multi-spawner species. The results imply that sustainable population control efforts must include intensive catch and engage a participatory approach between the legal authority and the local fishers.

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

Sulfide is a crucial parameter in volcanic lakes, as its levels and fluctuations in the lake determine the origin of sulfide and the extent of its impact on the lake ecosystem. In stratified lakes, the sulfide produced tends to be retained beneath the oxic layer. The sulfides rise towards the surface as the oxic layer thins triggered by decreased water column thermal stratification. Meanwhile, the strength or weakness of thermal stratification is greatly influenced by weather conditions. Lake Maninjau is a volcanic lake with a relatively high sulfide content. Its vertical distribution in the water column is highly dependent on the stratification of the water column. When stratification disappears, sulfide rises to the surface (locally known as tubo belerang) and has a negative impact on surface biota. The objective of this study is to examine the distribution of sulfides in the water column of Lake Maninjau under two different weather conditions. We perform two surveys to measure physicochemical parameters and sulfide concentration on 26‒29 November 2022 and 25‒26 August 2023 considering the seasonal pattern. We found that air temperatures and sunshine duration combined with precipitation and wind speed drive the thermal stratification of the water column. The lower air temperature, shorter sunshine duration, higher precipitation, and stronger wind speed in the first survey (west monsoon) compared with the second survey (east monsoon) resulted in lower stratification and triggered the elevated sulfide to the surface. In the middle of the lake, the surface sulfide measured during the first survey was 4.16 µg/L. Meanwhile, in the second survey, it was only observed at 1.16 µg/L. The distribution of sulfides within the water column of Lake Maninjau is regulated by the stratification of the water column, a process directly impacted by weather conditions.

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.
