Abstract

Understanding groundwater flow dynamics through the Master Recession Curve (MRC) is critical in evaluating groundwater behavior following periods of extraction or cessation of rainfall. This study employs the Depuit-Boussinesq model for aquifer flow storage, wherein recession coefficients and constants are primary determinants of the MRC’s shape. This research aims to visualize the MRC using the Depuit-Boussinesq model to assess flow storage in small watershed areas within Ambon City, Maluku Province, Indonesia. The research methodology involved hydrological analysis across five watersheds, namely Wae Tomu, Wae Ruhu, Wae Batu Merah, and others, to model the relationship between recession constants, recession coefficients, and the MRC’s shape. Data collection included groundwater head and aquifer parameters measurements over the study period. The visualization results reveal variations in MRC shapes among the watersheds. The Wae Tomu Watershed exhibits a steeper MRC, indicating a sharp decline in groundwater head. In contrast, the Wae Ruhu and Wae Batu Merah Watersheds display more gradual MRCs, reflecting slower and steadier head declines. The recession constant of the Wae Ruhu Watershed is higher, indicating a larger storage capacity, while the Wae Tomu Watershed has a lower recession constant, representing limited storage capacity. Furthermore, changes in the recession constantly affect the delay in head reduction, influencing the MRC’s shape. This study underscores the significance of the relationship between recession coefficients, recession constants, and MRC shape in understanding groundwater flow dynamics. These findings provide valuable insights for more effective water resource management planning in small watershed areas.

Abstract

The community-based conservation partnership (CCP) implemented in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) is a community empowerment policy that provides legal access to local communities for forest utilization within the conservation area while strengthening their capacity for economic improvement. This policy strategy aims to support the preservation of conservation area ecosystems while simultaneously supporting the economic well-being of communities surrounding the forest. This study evaluates the performance and effectiveness of CCP in LLNP, focusing on their impact on conservation area functionality and local economic development. The research was conducted in 56 villages surrounding LLNP that have implemented conservation partnerships with park management since 2018. Using structured interviews, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, data were collected from relevant stakeholders. The study applied quantitative and qualitative approaches, including Likert-scale assessments and Mann-Whitney U statistical analysis, to evaluate CCP performance across different management areas. The findings reveal that the CCP program has contributed to improving the functionality of the conservation area through participatory conservation and monitoring initiatives. However, the program has not yet significantly boosted the local economy. The capacity of the local community to develop enterprises remains limited. The local community’s capacity to develop the enterprise remains limited. The empowerment process implemented by LLNP managers through CCP focused on strengthening individual and organizational capacities. It necessitates policy support from the local government through assistance for programs that strengthen the local economy, incorporation of business development, and reinforcement of marketing networks for locally produced goods.

Abstract

Wood submerged in brackish and marine environments is highly susceptible to degradation by marine borers, which can compromise its structural integrity over time. Resak wood (Vatica sp.), widely used in boat construction, is frequently exposed to seawater, making it vulnerable to such bio-deterioration. This study aimed to assess the intensity of marine borer attacks on resak wood at different immersion depths (5 cm, 25 cm, and 50 cm) over three months in the estuary of Mempawah River, Mempawah Regency. Test samples (2 cm × 5 cm × 30 cm) were deployed, and data were analyzed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five replications, totaling 15 samples. The results revealed that resak wood exhibits high natural durability and is classified as durability class I, indicating strong resistance to marine borer infestations. The recorded weight loss percentages were 1.48% at 5 cm depth, 1.81% at 25 cm depth, and 2.69% at 50 cm depth, with statistical analysis confirming a significant effect of immersion depth on weight loss. This suggests that while resak wood is highly resistant, degradation intensifies with increasing submersion depth. Four marine borer species were identified in the estuarine waters of the Mempawah River: Limnoria sp., Balanus sp., Nereis sp., and Teredo sp. Their presence highlights the potential threat to submerged wooden structures in the region. Despite its durability, prolonged exposure and greater immersion depth may gradually reduce the structural performance of resak wood. Further long-term studies are recommended to evaluate its resistance under diverse environmental conditions and to explore protective treatments that could enhance its durability in marine applications.

Abstract

Kilemo (Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers.), a forest tree species of the Lauraceae family, is naturally distributed in China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. This species is valued for its high-quality essential oils and its potential applications in the biopharmaceutical and chemical industries. However, the semi-recalcitrant nature of kilemo seeds presents challenges in storage and germination, necessitating research to optimize seed quality and propagation methods. This study aims to evaluate the physical and physiological qualities of kilemo seeds sourced from highland regions in West Java and North Sumatra and to determine the best pretreatment methods to enhance germination performance. Seed samples were collected from Ciwidey, Mount Papandayan (West Java), and Aek Nauli (North Sumatra). The study assessed seed moisture content, purity, 1,000-seed weight, and seed viability. Different soaking treatments (plain water, boron solutions, KNO3 solutions, and coconut water) were applied, followed by germination tests under two sowing conditions: open seedbeds and plastic-covered seedbeds. The results indicate that kilemo seeds exhibit moisture content ranging from 13.01% to 14.68%, purity above 96.77%, and a weight of 1,000 seeds varying from 21.36 to 27.86 g. Germination trials revealed that seeds soaked in 100% coconut water for 3 or 6 hours exhibited the highest germination percentages and vigor, particularly in an open seedbed condition. These findings suggest that coconut water pretreatment enhances seed germination and viability, offering an effective method for improving the propagation success of kilemo. The study provides valuable insights into optimizing seed handling techniques to support the conservation and commercial cultivation of this species.

Abstract

Climate change threatens food security at the local, regional, and global levels. Optimizing the potential of the blue ecosystem, especially mangrove forest products, can contribute to overcoming the food crisis. This study aims to document the ethnobotanical practices related to the utilization of mangroves as a food source in the South Lampung Regency.  This study employed the snowball sampling method, utilizing open-ended interviews with respondents. The collected data, including species types, utilized plant parts, processed products, and associated properties, were analyzed using descriptive-analytical methods to identify patterns, relationships, and factors influencing the practice of mangrove-based food utilization. The results reveal that the people of South Lampung Regency utilize four mangrove species as ethnobotanical food sources. These include the fruit (excluding the root) of Rhizophora mucronata, which is processed into coffee; the young leaves of Avicennia marina, consumed as fresh vegetables; its sap, which is processed into health beverages; and its fruit, which is used to produce flour for cake-making. Additionally, Acanthus ilicifolius is processed into tea and rempeyek, a traditional cracker made from leaf fragments. Beyond their nutritional value, mangroves possess bioactive properties, including antifertility, antioxidant, analgesic, anticholesterol, antihypertensive, antitussive, and anti-inflammatory effects, highlighting their potential for development into functional foods. Such diversification could address various social and economic challenges in South Lampung Regency. However, limitations in human resource capacity hinder the optimization of mangrove utilization, resulting in a lack of diversity and innovation in the selection of species, utilized plant parts, processed products, and processing techniques.
