Abstract

Peatland is a unique ecosystem with water saturation; peatland regulates hydrological processes, climate, environmental conditions, and biodiversity. Poor management practises regarding peatlands can lead to land degradation, and peatland degradation typically has negative effects. Recent tropical peatland research in Indonesia has predominantly revolved around the examination of the ecological consequences resulting from various management approaches. There is little study on farmers' agroforestry efforts to preserve and restore degraded peatlands. A comprehensive examination was undertaken to assess a range of facts, information, and scholarly articles pertaining to the practise of agroforestry on peatlands in Indonesia. The primary incentive for farmers to adopt agroforestry systems originates from their recognition of the impending scarcity of trees. By integrating intercrops with cultivated trees, farmers anticipate generating adequate money to fulfil their family's economic requirements. Farmers who choose intensive intercropping practises are motivated by market demand, whereas farmers who do not adopt this approach tend to favour crops that necessitate less rigorous management. The provision of governmental assistance holds significant importance, and there is a pressing need for additional guidance and support. The potential for rehabilitating degraded peatlands by the implementation of agroforestry practises of native tree species is considerable. Their growth patterns contribute to enhanced vegetative coverage, resulting in heightened moisture levels, reduced temperatures, diminished fire hazards, and improved peat soil quality. The relationship between the physiography of the land and the depth of the peat is directly associated with the patterns and components of agroforestry in peatland environments.

Abstract

Analysis of landslide slip surface based on the engineering properties of tuff rocks, including shear strength, water content, and infiltration rate on the West Sinjai road section, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the effect of shear strength, water content infiltration rate, and weathering grade of tufa rocks in the study area. The methods used in this study area included a study of weathered tuff profile characteristics, weathered tuff infiltration testing and residual soil (RS) determination of weathered tuff water content and residual soil, and testing of shear strength of weathered tuff and residual soil. This research used aspects of engineering geology, including shear strength, water content, and infiltration rate, as well as rock weathering grade to determine the slip surface in tuff to determine the volume of landslide material. The results showed that the tuff profile consisted of four grades, namely moderately weathered tuff (MW), highly weathered tuff (HW), completely weathered tuff (CW), and soil residual (RS). The rate of tuff infiltration increases with increasing weathering grade. The water content is more significant with the high degree of weathering of tuff. At the same time, the shear strength decreases with high weathering. Therefore, the research area is prone to landslide events. The slip surface is in a layer of moderately weathered tuff rock (MW), and those that experience landslides are highly weathered tuff rock (HW), completely weathered (CW), and residual soil (RS).

Abstract

The persistence of the carcinogenic Rhodamine B dye poses significant risks to human health. Utilizing a unique fungal strain for its degradation offers a sustainable solution to mitigate these hazards. Bioremediation techniques have demonstrated substantial promise in addressing recalcitrant pollutants such as dyes. In this particular study, laccase-producing fungi were carefully chosen for their potential to break down the toxic textile dye Rhodamine B. These selected fungi Cerrena unicolor FBR03 exhibited an impressive maximum degradation rate of 95.10%. Additionally, an analysis using GC-MS revealed the emergence of breakdown products, including 2-cyclopenten-1-one, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl, thymine, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, and dibutyl phthalate. These results underscore the potential of this fungal strain as a promising organism for the effective degradation of dye compounds, while simultaneously producing valuable saturated fatty acids as by-products.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the social, economic, and environmental impact of Saddang River sand mining on local communities and the Pinrang district government. Primary data collection used field surveys to obtain supporting data on economic aspects consisting of production capacity, costs, selling price of sand at the miner level and market price at the consumer level, number of grains, and various other economic values such as indirect value and indirect use value. The primary data collection method uses a total sampling of 80 miners operating in the research area. Consumer data uses a field survey method with 8 hours of observation per day. Saddang River sand mining provides great socio-economic value and environmental impact, directly or indirectly. This significant socio-economic value and impact, if not accompanied by good management, can result in over-exploitation, which impacts the physical and ecological damage of the Saddang River. On the other hand, the high rate of sedimentation from upstream of the Saddang River results in shallowing, so sand mining activities help normalize the Saddang River. Therefore, to continue providing economic benefits and the Saddang River to avoid physical and ecological damage due to mining activities, sustainable management of Saddang River sand mining is needed.

Abstract

During the Industrial Revolution, agriculture was linked to environmental issues. One issue is pesticide pollution. Bioremediation is needed because plant diseases and pests cause farmers to use pesticides excessively, polluting and decreasing soil production. This study evaluated soil fertility from bioremediation with biduri plants, bacteria, and biochar on chlorpyrifos-polluted shallot-growing soil in Brebes Regency. This type of research was an experiment in a greenhouse, using a factorial experimental design with a completely randomized design, consisting of two factors, namely bioremediation agent (A0: without bioremediation agent, A1: Atlantibacter hermannii, A2: bacterial consortium) and coconut shell biochar (B0: without biochar, B1: with biochar). There were six treatment combinations, then replicated three times for each treatment, so there were 18 treatment units. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, Duncan Multiple Range Test, and Pearson correlation. The results showed that the best treatments that were able to improve soil fertility after bioremediation were treatments A1B0 (Atlantibacter hermannii + without biochar), A2B0 (bacterial consortium + without biochar), and A2B1 (bacterial consortium + with biochar). The A1B0 treatment (Atlantibacter hermannii + without biochar) increased the pH by 4.97%, and the soil available P was 12 times higher than the initial soil. The A2B0 (bacterial consortium + without biochar) treatment increased soil cation exchange capacity by 99.81% and soil organic C by 116% higher than the initial soil. The A2B1 (bacterial consortium + with biochar) treatment increased soil total N by 37.50% and available K by 38.47%, higher than the initial soil.

Abstract

Forests serve as vital ecosystems, playing a pivotal role in preserving biodiversity, maintaining air and water quality, and regulating the climate, all while delivering many benefits to humanity and serving as a critical resource for diverse industries. This study investigated changes in forest cover within Yok Don National Park and surrounding areas in Dak Lak province, Vietnam, over the period from 2001 to 2021. The primary objective was to identify decadal shifts in forest cover through the utilization of freely accessible satellite remote sensing data and geographic information systems (GIS) tools. The maximum likelihood classification technique was employed to categorize Landsat images captured in 2001, 2011, and 2021. Furthermore, we evaluated the efficacy of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) based classifications in detecting forest cover changes when compared to supervised classification. Initial estimates placed forest cover at 2796.91 km2, constituting 88.44% of the total land area in 2001, which subsequently declined to 2609.97 km2 (82.53%) in 2011, and further reduced to 1843.57 km2 (58.29%) in 2021. Severely reduced forest cover is often associated with the expansion of agriculture on the forest edge; other contributing factors include logging and illegal production land. Notably, the NDVI outperformed the SAVI in detecting forest cover changes. The findings of this research are anticipated to contribute to ongoing studies and enhance the effective monitoring of this protected forest area, thus providing invaluable insights for decision-makers.
