Abstract

The availability of information about soil erosion vulnerability is necessary as a primary consideration to determine the effort of soil conservation, particularly in the coal mining area. This study aimed to estimate the potential risk of soil erosion from land cover variation in a coal mining concession site in South Borneo. Data were taken from 18 stations of soil erosion monitoring which were evenly distributed in each land cover. Soil erosion vulnerability was quantified using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method. The comparison mean of soil erosion among land cover types was evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by the Nemenyi test with a significant level of 5%. Results found that the potential risk of soil erosion was significantly different among land covers (p<0.05). The highest soil erosion vulnerability was noted in the reclamation area of 1,012.3 t ha-1 year-1, while the lowest risk of soil erosion was observed in plantation forests of 47.9 t ha-1 year-1. Surprisingly, the potential risk of soil erosion in natural forests was four times higher than in oil palm plantations. Besides being located in hilly areas with high slope levels, the vegetation density in natural forests was relatively low. However, our study recorded there were two critical factors that highly correlated to soil erosion vulnerability, i.e., soil erodibility (R = 0.89; p<0.05) and slope length and steepness (R = 0.85; p<0.05).

Abstract

The volumes of world gold mining were reviewed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the proportion of placer gold is very insignificant. This is due to the fact that the most easily accessible reserves are substantially depleted, and the development of deposits with complex mining and geological conditions, including those located in the Far North, is economically impractical. To solve this problem, a method was proposed for isolating the dredging open-pit from the effects of negative temperatures by a hangar-type structure. Similar structures used in the mining industry were considered. Calculations of the dimensions of the structure that allow for safe manoeuvring of the dredge were presented. The data on the duration of the dredging season when implementing the proposed solution in the conditions of the Far North were provided. A method of protecting rocks from freezing when using this technology was proposed. The technical and economic indicators confirming the effectiveness of the implementation of the proposed solution were presented.

Abstract

Gold processing at artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in Indonesia is inherently risky due to the high severity and likelihood of accidents causing serious injury. The objectives of this study were to identify hazards, assess risks, and determine risk control measures in the ASGM location at Imandi Village, East Dumoga District, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi Province. The method used was Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC). The determination of work stages and identification of hazards was carried out through observation at 14 ASGM units and interviews with 14 informants consisting of 6 mining workers and 8 ASGM business owners. The risk assessment was carried out by observing and interviewing 8 experts as informants selected from health and environmental scientists, various offices of the Government Bolaang Mongondow Regency, and non-government institutions. The results showed that the stage of gold processing work in ASGM consists of 13 sources of hazards that can pose 16 risks. The obtained risk assessment results showed that 19% were low risk, 31% moderate risk, 25% high risk, and 25% very high risk caused by exposure to mercury through the gold ore burning process with a risk value of 25. The identified risk control measures were PPE (personal protective equipment) 43%, administrative controls 14%, engineering controls 14%, substitution 21%, and elimination 7%. Realistic risk controls that can be applied in ASGM are a combination of administrative controls and PPE.

Abstract

Biochar enriched with fertilizers has the potential to improve the quality of acid soils. In the agricultural sector, it was reported that the sap of Kappapychus alvarezii (K-sap) is often used as a biofertilizer. Therefore, this study aimed to (i) examine the character of biochar enriched with the K-sap and (ii) analyze the soil quality after incubation. This study was carried out using two treatment factors arranged in a randomized block design, namely the biochar dose at 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% in weight and K-sap at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%.  Ten kilograms of acid soil were incubated with K-sap enriched biochar for up to 2 weeks in each experimental pot. The results showed that the absorption band increased with the K-sap concentration for the functional group associated with the OH-stretching of the biochar enriched with K-sap was stronger and wider than the unenriched. The peak elevation pattern detected by X-ray diffraction for all biochars was similar. The dosage of 7.5% biochar enriched with 5%-10% K-sap concentrations increased pH, EC, organic C, total N, C:N ratio, available P, and exchangeable K, Ca, Mg, and Si than those without treatment. Furthermore, ammonium and total spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi decreased, flagellates increased with and without the biochar, while the nitrate, total bacteria, and fungi of all treatments were similar. Based on these results, it was concluded that biochar enriched with K-sap could improve the quality of acid soil.

Abstract

Arabidopsis halleri ssp. gemmifera is classified as Cd and Zn hyperaccumulator plant, however, the disparity accumulation preferences in organs (root, stem and leaves) between cadmium and zinc seems less understandable. Therefore, this study aimed to portray accumulation behaviour toward the presence of Cd and Zn in the hydroponic method employing A. halleri ssp. gemmifera. The experiment was conducted by applying this plant using 2 and 300 µM of Cd, and 2 and 200 µM Zn, together with 20% Hoagland solution for 7 days, separately. The results showed that Zn in the medium was uptake faster than Cd. Furthermore, increasing Cd/Zn supply at the medium resulted in an increasing accumulation of Cd/Zn in the organs of the plant. In both Cd treatments, the accumulation followed the order of stem>root>leaves, indicating Cd transportation to the upper part has occurred during this period. The same accumulation preference pattern was also reported in the 200 µM Zn supply. However, at 2 µM Zn supply, Zn accumulation was mainly found in the leaves, followed by the root and stem. A. halleri ssp. gemmifera uptake Zn faster from the medium and translocate rapidly to the leaves at low-level Zn supply. Increasing Zn supply concentration might inhibit the translocation of Zn from stem to leaves. Meanwhile, regardless of Cd supply concentrations, this plant could only translocate Cd to the stem mostly within a short-time exposure period. Therefore, this study concluded that A. halleri ssp. gemmifera exhibited different accumulation responses when exposed to different Cd and Zn supply concentrations.

Abstract

Karst is geomorphologically composed of limestone. However, limestone is very susceptible to weathering due to the influence of water, which can cause land subsidence. The resistivity method is often used to determine the potential for land subsidence, while geotechnical methods are commonly considered capable of juxtaposing with resistivity methods to support interpretation accuracy. The current research was conducted to determine the potential for land subsidence in the karst area in Lappae, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The resistivity method utilizes a dipole-dipole configuration, and the geotechnical parameters used are uniformity coefficient, curvature coefficient, water content, shear angle, and cohesion. The results obtained can be classified into northern and southern areas. The classification of these areas is based on the resistivity results, which show very high resistivity values        (> 4800 Ωm) in the southern part. This value is assumed to be a feature of the cave. Caves are predominantly distributed in the southern part. The five geotechnical parameters show that the northern part, which was composed of massive limestone (150-1600 Ωm), is a stable area, though it is highly prone to landslides. As for the southern part, geotechnical parameters suggest that the presence of caves is the primary factor contributing to the very high potential for landslides in this region. These results indicate that, based on the evaluation of this location, it is not feasible for land use. In addition, in spite of the low cost and rapid methods, the combination of these methods shows good results.

Abstract

The quest for sustainable land management has led to the development of modern technologies for land condition assessment and management, but these approaches have often failed in rural contexts due to their high complexity and incompatibility with the socio-economic conditions of land users. Although indigenous systems are known to be accessible, compatible, and economically affordable for rural farmers, less is known about indigenous technologies for the assessment of the land condition and sustainable land management. The present study identified indigenous indicators for the assessment of land degradation and examined indigenous practices for sustainable land management in the Talensi district of the Upper East region of Ghana. The study employed a qualitative approach in which interviews were conducted with sixty farmers in three selected communities of the Talensi district. Generally, land degradation was observed by respondents in the form of soil degradation or loss of vegetative cover. Among indigenous indicators of land degradation, soil erosion emerged as the most frequent indicator (75%), while the proliferation of mining pits (10%) was the least observed indicator. Indigenous practices for sustainable land management in the district include stone bunding, contour ploughing and zero tillage. The most used soil fertility improvement practice identified was crop rotation (47%) while the application of compost/manure occurred as the least (18%) practice. The study recommends that the Ministry of Food and Agriculture incorporate indigenous knowledge and technologies into land management programmes.

Abstract

This study focuses on how to solve cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil because this contaminant decreases soil quality. Soil remediation using the hyperaccumulator plants is an optional process to solve soil contamination. Arabidopsis halleri ssp. gemmifera (hereinafter referred to as A. halleri), is one of the candidate plants expected to be used for phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soil. The A. halleri promote solubilization of Cd in the soil directly or indirectly using its secreted root exudate. However, the effect of the metabolites profile of this plant to Cd uptake from contaminated soil is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to examine the contribution of root exudates of A. halleri to extract Cd in the soil. Cd-contaminated soil used in this study was a farmland soil containing 5.8 mg kg-1 of Cd and 648 mg kg-1 of Zn taken from Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Soil leaching tests were conducted using the solution containing the root exudates from A. halleri plant. The accelerating effect of root exudates of A. halleri on solubilization of Cd is fundamental information to construct the benefit of phytoremediation.

Abstract

Agricultural soil is possibly threatened by lead (Pb) contamination due to the intensive use of fertilizers. The rhizobacteria were recommended for the bioremediation of soils contaminated by low concentrations of Pb. The experiment was conducted to observe the Azotobacter's ability to proliferate in Pb-contaminated broth and to decrease the Pb availability in soil, Pb uptake by sweet potato roots, and sweet potato growth. The resistance test was performed by growing five Azotobacter isolates in N-free broth with various Pb levels. A pot experiment was conducted in a factorial randomized block design to test three levels of Pb in soil and two Azotobacter isolates. The results showed that Azotobacter Azv4 and A. choroococcum were resistant to 100 mg L-1 Pb in N-free broth. In the pot experiment, Azotobacter Azv4 Inoculation caused less Pb in soil and roots of sweet potatoes grown in Pb-contaminated soil than A. choroococcum. Either Azotobacter or Pb soil did not influence vine length. However, Azv4 was more prominent in increasing branch number, root volume and length; higher Pb in soil reduced branch number but did not affect root parameters. Azotobacter Azv4 increased more shoot and root dry weight compared to A. choroococcum, but both isolates did not change the shoot-to-root ratio (S/R). The Pb contamination only reduced root dry weight and reduced the S/R. This research considered utilizing rhizobacteria Azotobacter for reducing Pb levels in soil and roots; and increasing sweet potato biomass.

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain information about the impact of different morphological characteristics and genesis at some reclamation sites after coal-mining activities. Two coal sites were chosen as study areas, i.e. the Separi site, which is located in Kutai Kartanegara regency and the Bengalon site, located in Kutai Timur Regency. A descriptive research method was used to identify the morphological characteristics of reclamation sites at different times (chronosequence). The results showed that in-situ weathering, indicated by soil leaching caused by rainwater infiltration, led to the formation of the Ah horizon more than two years after the reclamation activity. The process of material removal and disposal (cutting, filling, transporting and levelling) from coal mining operations tends to accelerate the decomposition of parent soil material and promote the formation of pre-cambic horizons. The soils used (horizon A, B, and C) for the topsoil of the reclamation site were initially Typic Hapludults and Typic Dystropepts, although Typic Tropaquents and sandy parent materials were also used. Due to the impermeable layers of overburdening where water channels in the soil profile and deeper layers have not yet formed as human-made soil and landscape (artificial) cause rainwater to fail to infiltrate deeper layers so that with less heavy rain, the groundwater level will rise to the surface and the land will become waterlogged/flooded.
