Abstract

Reclaimed-mining soil (RMS) is characterized by low fertility, acidic pH, and high heavy metal contents. As a result, adding amendments becomes essential to support plant growth. Therefore, this research measured alterations in the characteristics of RMS, plant growth, and metal accumulation in plants with the co-application of coal fly ash (CFA) and empty fruit bunches of oil palm (EFBOP). In the first experiment, various levels of CFA (0, 75, and 150 Mg ha-1) and EFBOP (0, 25, and 50 Mg ha-1) were added to the RMS and then incubated at 70% water holding capacity for 45 days to determine their effect on changes in soil properties. In the second experiment, four treatments: control, CFA, EFBOP, and CFA+EFBOP were tested in the greenhouse to quantify their effects on the growth and metal accumulation of plants. Results of the study showed that the co-application of CFA and EFBOP significantly affected bulk density, pH, mineral nitrogen (NH4+ and NO3-), available phosphorus, and exchangeable Ca and Mg in RMS. CFA application increased exchangeable Al by 82-160%, while EFBOP resulted in a decrease of 24-119%. CEC decreased with CFA application and increased with the use of EFBOP. Plant growth increased with the co-application of CFA and EFBOP. The addition of CFA to soils results in increasing metal contents in plant tissue; however, the presence of EFBOP reduced the concentrations of metal in plant tissue. These results highlight the potential of CFA and EFBOP, which are industrial and agricultural wastes, as valuable soil amendments.

Abstract

Optimizing the potential utilization of low-rank coal, such as sub-bituminous coal (SC), can improve and maintain soil quality and productivity through amelioration technology. This potential is especially in controlling heavy metals such as Hg. This study aimed to examine the geochemistry of SC and the adsorption mechanism of Hg with SC through an adsorption isotherm model approach developed for experimental equilibrium. The geochemical of SC has an atomic composition of C (43.60%), O (40.64%), N (11.96%), Si (1.57%), Al (1.06%), Ca (0.92%), Mg (0.14%) and K (0.11%) and oxide composition dominated by SiO2 (57.07%), as well as O-H and N-H functional groups, C-H C-H, C=C-H, C=O, and C=C-H and minerals (quartz, magnetite, mica and muscovite). Characteristics of SC have a proximate composition (16.99% moisture, 97.81% volatile matter, 69.63% ash, and 28.19% fixed carbon) and chemical properties of pH, EC, CEC, OC, and total N (5.23, 1.38 dS m-1, 35.33 cmol(+) kg-1, 9.81% C,  and 0.16% N). The adsorption capacity and coefficient of Hg2+ by SC were 304.32 mg g-1 and 78.67 L kg-1 at pH 1.26 and Hg2+ concentration 100 mg L-1 with a removal efficiency of 76.08%. Hg2+ adsorption isotherms occurred in Langmuir (RL = 0.97 and R² = 1)>Freundlich (1/n = 1.05 and R² = 0.9999) models. The application of 40 t SC ha-1 on ex-gold mining soil contaminated with Hg significantly decreased the total Hg in the soil by 2.50 mg kg-1 and a removal efficiency of 36.37% with increased pH H2O (0.35), OC (0.041% C), and CEC 2.14 cmol(+) kg-1, compared to control.

Abstract

Optimized use of calcareous soil in dryland areas needs to begin with rehabilitation efforts using soil amendments, including organic fertilizer and biochar. This study sought to determine whether kinds of soil amendments and mycorrhizal biofertilizers may enhance the chemical quality of calcareous soils and increase the yield of sorghum on dry land. The study was conducted at the experimental garden of the Agricultural Extension Center located in Oelnasi Village from April to August of 2023. Two criteria included in the study were the kind of soil amendment and mycorrhizal biological fertilizer, both of which were arranged in a randomized block design. The parameters observed were soil chemical properties, plant N and P nutrient uptake, and sorghum yield. The research results showed that the application of three types of soil amendments (P1 = cow dung, P2 = rice straw compost, and P3 = corncob biochar) improved the chemical quality of calcareous soil. This application of corncob biochar could significantly reduce soil pH from 7.85 (slightly alkaline) to 7.19 (neutral) and increase soil organic C to 2.55% C, followed by treatment with cow dung and rice straw compost. Other soil chemical properties, i.e., N, P, K, and soil CEC, also improved, which differed from the control treatment. The mycorrhizal biofertilizer provided could also improve the chemical properties of calcareous soil. Providing mycorrhizal biofertilizer could increase the N and P nutrient uptake of sorghum plants by 3.79% dry weight-1 and 2.18% dry weight-1, respectively, as well as increased sorghum yields, respectively by 4.04 t ha-1, 3.97 t ha-1 and 3.87 t ha-1 dry beans, higher than the control which only achieved 2.32 t ha-1 dry beans.

Abstract

Environmental and land resource degradation is a serious problem that poses significant challenges in Sudan and worldwide generally. Despite the fact that the physical environment components are the underlying economic resources and production assets in developing countries like Sudan, and they directly affect the nation’s socioeconomic aspects of income, health, water availability, food security, and many others. The interventions and protective measures were insufficient to meet the magnitude and extent of the ongoing degradation and resource wastage. Based on the analysis of the indicators and trends of the environmental and natural resources management ‘status quo’, this paper is an attempt to overview and investigate the state of environmental and natural resources management and governance in Sudan. Further discussion delves into the utilization of geo-information systems in Sudan’s environmental and resource management by analyzing and reviewing “some previous case studies” where GIS approaches and techniques were deployed. The paper further strives to explore and highlight the opportunities and potential contributions of GIS in the context of Sudan’s environmental and resource management. Lessons learned from the previous experiences were considered, and the recommendations for the future use of a tailored geo-information system in Sudan context were highlighted and suggested to support better practices and sustainability insights for environmental governance and resources management.

Abstract

Groundwater is utilized as a clean water source including in Pelauw and Kariu Villages. Drilling and excavating are frequent techniques utilized in the construction of wells that serve as sources of groundwater. As a result of the ocean encircling the majority of this area, salinity may infiltrate wells. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to ascertain whether seawater intrusion had occurred in 12 nearby wells. Major ion tests were carried out in the lab, while surveys and measurement fields were carried out for the sampling procedure. Ion Cl, EC, TDS, Simpson ratio, and BEX data are used in the analysis to determine whether seawater intrusion is present. Additionally, the Piper diagram is used to categorize different types of water based on the outcomes of the main ion test. The findings indicated that Cl-, EC, and TDS levels have increased at a number of the sampling sites. At point A09, there is an indication of seawater intrusion based on the BEX values, which shows a negative number. The majority of the well water, as determined by a water classification analysis using the Piper diagram, is of the calcium carbonate type. Meanwhile, the remaining portion is separated into the calcium sulfate and sodium bicarbonate types.

Abstract

Peri-urban forests are wooded areas under the influence of urbanization and are becoming increasingly attractive as recreational areas for urban populations. This study focused specifically on the El Meridj-Est recreational forest, located in Constantine, the capital of eastern Algeria. This study selected this forest as the main case study because of its distinction as the region's most frequented woodland site. This research aimed to understand the practices of 350 users of this forest and to identify the determining factors behind the high affluence at El Meridj. This study also examined their individual and family perceptions, expectations, and concerns, adopting a methodological approach combining detailed qualitative and quantitative social survey techniques. This study fills a research gap in the field of peri-urban green space management with regard to social interactions and recreational activities in these spaces. It also highlights the importance of taking local specificities into account when studying recreational spaces. These results, potentially generalizable to other similar geographical and cultural contexts, offer practical perspectives for the management and conservation of peri-urban forests while minimizing the negative impacts of anthropogenic pressures leading to the degradation of these natural environments.

Abstract

Ultisol dry land is characterized by significantly low organic carbon content, an important factor influencing soil water content and physico-chemical dynamics. The addition of N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed liquid extract as an enrichment solution can change the character of biochar. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of cogongrass biochar enriched with dissolved N fertilizer in seaweed extract of different species and assess its impact on soil water content in Ultisol. Urea was used as a nitrogen source, and biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed liquid extract from Kappapychus alvarezii, Sargassum sp., and Ulva lactuca was tested. Biochar dose used was 20% of soil weight with a 10% extract concentration for each type. Furthermore, five-level treatments were tested in a pot experiment, namely (i) without biochar, (ii) biochar unenriched, (iii) enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in K. alvarezii extract, (iv) enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in Sargassum sp. extract, and (v) biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in U. lactuca extract. Each treatment was repeated three times, following a randomized block design. The results showed that cogongrass biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed extract had a more amorphous surface morphology structure. The proportion of elements and functional groups in cogongrass biochar changed. Enriched biochar increased Ultisol moisture levels, but water holding capacity and retention were lower than the unenriched sample.

Abstract

On September 28, 2018, a 7.5 Richter magnitude earthquake struck the Palu City neighborhood of Petobo. The tectonic activity along the Palu-Koro fault generated this earthquake, which resulted in soil liquefaction. The purpose of this study is to use microtremor measurements at 33 distinct places to investigate the properties of the soil layer after liquefaction. The obtained data was then evaluated utilizing Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) methodologies such as Ground Shear Strength (GSS), amplification factor, and vulnerability index to determine the soil layer's properties and susceptibility. The dominant frequency ranges from 0.19 to 4.75 Hz, while the dominant period ranges from 0.21 to 5.17 seconds, according to the measurement results. According to these measurements, the silt layer varies between 5 and 30 m. GSS values in the 10-4 to 10-2 range indicate that soil cracking, subsidence, liquefaction, landslides, and compaction are likely. The soil vulnerability and amplification index values range from 2.36 to 4.37, respectively. These values show the potential level of danger, which might be low, medium, high, or extremely high. Peak ground acceleration varied from 299.52 to 301.52 gals, suggesting high to extremely high danger levels. The microzonation map created for this study is considered to be a useful resource for training disaster mitigation approaches and facilitating infrastructure development planning in the region.

Abstract

The concerns about the conversion of swamp land into settlements and its effect on the quality of river water are urgent in Indonesia as a developing country. This research evaluated how changes in land use in the Keramasan region of Palembang, South Sumatra, affect the water quality of the Pedado River. Physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the water were gathered in 2017 and 2022 from four monitoring points along the Pedado River. Pollution indicators were used to evaluate the state of river water quality. The results showed that land conversion operations increased flow from the mainland into the Pedado River and the loss of swamp vegetation. One such activity in 2022 was the backfilling of 42.92 hectares of swampland. Total suspended solids (TSS), copper (Cu), oil, and fat in the Pedado River surpassed the quality limits of class II, according to Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 82 of 2001, based on measurements of the water quality in the Keramasan region. The Pedado River's water pollution status changed from mildly contaminated in 2017 (pollution index: 3.728-4.940) to moderately polluted in 2022 (pollution index: 5.395-6.236). These results highlight the critical need for thorough water treatment and preventative actions to lessen further contamination in the Pedado River.

Abstract

The hydrological function of peatlands, one of which is acting as a medium for storing and releasing water, undergoes alteration due to degradation. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a pivotal parameter for comprehending the hydraulic properties of peatlands. Ks plays a crucial role in the transmission and release of water influenced by other peat properties. This research examined the impact of Ks and selected peat properties, namely bulk density and available water content, to depict the hydrological function in rewetted peatlands. The study sites are rubber plantation (RB), oil palm plantation (OP), and drained secondary forest (SF). Results revealed a significantly higher Ks in OP (106.7 cm hr-1) compared to RB (19.56 cm hr-1) and DSF (15.1 cm hr-1). The hydrological function at all study sites was categorized as high, with minor degradation in OP and moderate degradation in RB and SF. Nonetheless, these findings necessitate fundamental interpretation and adjustment. The outcomes of this study can be utilized to prioritize rewetting efforts in the study sites, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing immature peat (fibric) with high Ks.
