Abstract

Soil Quality Index (SQI) assessment is a crucial parameter for evaluating the effectiveness of land reclamation objectives. This research aimed to analyze trends in soil quality changes across various stages of post-coal mining reclamation. This research was conducted in June 2024 at sites with varying soil ages at PT Inti Bara Perdana and in natural forest areas. This research employed descriptive-exploratory methods and involved open-field surveys. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling at locations representative of the conditions at each site. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was utilized to identify key indicators and determine the SQI. The results demonstrated that post-mining land reclamation significantly improved the physical, chemical, and biological quality of the soil. While the reclaimed soil quality has not yet fully reached the level of natural forest soil, the reclamation process exhibits strong potential for ecosystem recovery. SQI analysis revealed an increasing trend in soil quality as the reclamation age advanced. Linear variable analysis indicated a positive correlation between reclamation age and SQI development. Reclaimed areas aged 7 and 11 years exhibited SQI values exceeding 0.5, signifying successful reclamation and ecological sustainability.

Abstract

Excessive pesticide use and intensive shallot farming to satisfy high market demand can degrade soil quality and harm environmental sustainability. Sustainable agricultural practices, such as biochar and compost are alternatives to ensure long-term soil productivity and fertility. This study aimed to investigate the ability of biochar and compost made from bagasse waste to improve shallot growth, yield, nutrient absorption, and soil quality. The research used a factorial randomized block design in a greenhouse. The first factor was the application of biochar and compost (K1 = compost, K2 = biochar, K3 = biochar-compost (1:4/w:w) and K4 = biochar-compost (1:2/w:w), and the second factor was the dose of NPK fertilizer (0%, 50%, and 100% of the recommended dose). The planting medium used was an Inceptisol from shallot fields in Sukaharjo, Central Java. The variables measured included plant growth, yield components, soil chemical properties, and levels of N, P, and K in plants. The results showed that the combination of compost with 100% NPK fertilizer gave better results in plant growth, fresh and dry weight of plants and tubers, increased organic C, total N, and CEC of the soil, and increased the absorption of N, P, and K by plants.

Abstract

Land use changes and rainfall can trigger inundation. This study aimed to observe the dynamics of spatial patterns of temporal flood vulnerability due to rainfall and land use changes using the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) Model. Flood vulnerability was assessed using 12 environmental variables, including elevation, slope gradient, slope direction, slope curvature, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), flow density, distance from rivers, distance from roads, soil texture, soil aggregates, rainfall, and land use. Rainfall and land use were dynamic variables analyzed in 2013-2023. Past flood occurrence points were obtained using the participatory mapping method. Temporal flood vulnerability mapping in 2013, 2018, and 2023 showed the influence of elevation, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), and distance from rivers, which were very dominant. Typically, the flood vulnerability pattern formed showed a percentage of moderate (13%), high (17%), and very high (5%) class areas consistently clustered in the southern region. An interesting finding is that rainfall changes have a more significant influence (7.2%), causing the dynamics of high and very high-class vulnerability patterns, compared to the influence of land use changes (0.4%). MaxEnt's flood vulnerability prediction accuracy is classified as very good, as evidenced by its AUC values of 0.835 in 2013, 0.819 in 2018, and 0.824 in 2023. Finally, the findings showed that the accuracy of the MaxEnt Model is classified as very good, so it can be extrapolated globally with similar regional typologies.

Abstract

The presence of greenery in urban residential and office areas can improve the comfort of residents who live in these environments. In an urban setting, vegetation serves an ecological purpose by absorbing carbon dioxide, supplying oxygen, lowering the temperature to produce a tolerable microclimate, acting as a water catchment area, and reducing noise. Urbanization and anthropogenic activity-driven growth of urban and            sub-urban regions put stress on the local vegetation and have the potential to lower environmental comfort. To promote the creation of a sustainable urban environment, a thorough analysis of the urban environment is required. Applications for remote sensing in all spectral, geographic, and temporal dimensions have increasingly adopted the usage of deep learning methods with artificial neural networks. This study attempted to predict the application of remote sensing data for analyzing environmental comfort in metropolitan areas based on multitemporal Landsat-8 data. The study area is Greater Jakarta. The approach was based on supervised classification with neural network techniques and land parameters like surface temperature, brightness index, greenness index, and wetness index. According to the study's findings, the proposed method could accurately predict that very uncomfortable classes predominated in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, and surrounding areas by more than 92%. In addition to being densely populated with communities, urban environments are uncomfortable due to a lack of vegetation cover, which increases surface temperatures. In the future, this research can provide input for similar research, especially in the use of deep learning Artificial Neural Network methods for environmental analysis.

Abstract

Soil fertility maps are vital tools in agriculture and land management, offering essential information for decision-makers. The availability of soil nutrients significantly impacts crop production. This study aimed to assess soil nutrient content and develop a soil fertility map for mixed farmland in the Banggai Islands region of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research involved soil sampling at a depth of 0-20 cm from 60 random points, followed by laboratory analysis and geostatistical interpolation using the Kriging Semivariogram (Spherical) method in ArcGIS to create the soil fertility status map. Validation was conducted using absolute mean error (AME) and absolute error of variation (AVE). Results indicated that soil pH in the area ranged from slightly acidic to neutral, while organic C, nitrogen, and cation exchange capacity were evenly distributed but classified as low to medium fertility. Potassium levels were consistently low across the study area. Additionally, available phosphorus varied from low to very high, and base saturation was predominantly high to very high. By overlaying the nutrient distribution maps, three soil fertility categories, very low, low, and medium, were identified. These findings offer valuable insights into nutrient management and sustainable agricultural practices in the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi.

Abstract

With its abundant groundwater potential, East Java faces a growing risk of contamination due to rapid industrial growth. This study assessed groundwater quality in four regional groundwater basins (GWB) using the Water Quality Index (WQI), water quality standard comparison, Piper diagram, and hydrogeochemical ion analysis. The WQI analysis revealed that 59% of the samples were classified as excellent and good for consumption, predominantly found in volcanic, river alluvial, and limestone hill areas. In comparison, 11% were unsuitable for consumption due to contamination, particularly near coastal, industrial, and agricultural zones. The Piper diagram showed that most groundwater samples were unpolluted, reflecting the natural interaction between groundwater and surrounding lithology. However, ion standard comparison identified samples exceeding acceptable ion levels, and ion correlation analysis confirmed contamination from industrial, agricultural, anthropogenic, and municipal wastewater activities. These findings highlight the need for targeted groundwater management, particularly in areas vulnerable to contamination.

Abstract

This article discusses nitrate and fluoride contamination and potential health risks for men, women, and children in the Mascara region (northwestern Algeria). To achieve this objective, the Groundwater Pollution Index (PIG) was used to assess the health risks caused by fluoride and nitrates in water. The concentration of nitrate varied, between 2 and 144 mg/L, was observed, with 44% of samples exceeding the WHO permitted limit of 50 mg/L. The study revealed that groundwater with high F concentration is found in evaporite formation as well as cultivated soils. In the studied points, fluoride concentrations range from 0.06 to 3.06 mg/L, with 11% of groundwater exceeding the fluoride guidelines (1.5 mg/L). However, 52%, 58%, and 61% of the region's waters are considered to be at high risk for men, women, and children, respectively, according to the distribution of HQNO3 risk quotient values. The HQF values ??were highest for children (an average of 0.60) and women (an average of 0.52), followed by the lowest values ??for men (an average of 0.45. HHRA results show that 69% of the region's water is considered to pose a high risk for men and women and 78% children respectively. It was observed that nitrate levels have a greater impact on the waters of the region. The calculated PIG values ??range from 0.35 to 1.15, which classifies 95% of the current study area in the insignificant pollution zone (PIG: < 1.0), and the rest (5%) in the low pollution zone (PIG: 1.0 to 1.5).

Abstract

Composting organic waste is significantly gaining attention as a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. This is because the use of microorganisms or microbial consortia in the composting process can enhance the quality of compost. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of microbial consortia on cow manure composting efficiency and nutrient content. The experiment was conducted at the Polinela Organic Farm, Department of Food Crop Cultivation. A randomized block design was used with multiple treatments combining fresh cow manure and microbial inoculants, including catalyst, Bacillus, and Trichoderma. The parameters evaluated were the effects of water content, pH, temperature fluctuations, and macronutrient levels on composting, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The results showed that microbial consortia significantly improved composting parameters such as moisture retention and temperature as a function of higher doses?of the inoculum. The highest total nitrogen (3.6%) and potassium (1.67%) content were obtained from Trichoderma treatment,?while the highest phosphorus (0.47%) content was obtained from Bacillus treatment. This?implied that microbial consortia could improve the quality and availability of composted nutrients in addition to the effectiveness of agricultural waste management and soil fertility practices. However, more research should be conducted?to determine the optimal microbial mixtures for various conditions of composting and the quality of the best compost produced.

Abstract

Comprehending the bidirectional interactions between ecosystems and plant communities is essential for ensuring the conservation and sustainable development of Bruguiera hainesii. The study identified nine accompanying plant species within a range of 1.2-5.5 m, including five frequently encountered species and four commonly found ones. The research site is influenced by two distinct wind seasons: the Northeast monsoon (November to April) and the Southwest monsoon during the rainy season, with an average wind speed of 1.77 m/s. Correspondingly, the wave regime alternates with these seasons, featuring opposing directions. During the Northeast monsoon, wave heights average 2-2.5 m, while during the Southwest monsoon, they decrease to 1.5-1.7 m. The tidal regime in Con Dao is mixed semi-diurnal, with tidal ranges of 3-4 m at high tide and 1.5-2 m at low tide. Tidal currents primarily drive the flow regime, with dominant Northeast flow during early summer and seasonal shifts between winter and summer. Flow velocities range from 0.15 to 0.92 m/s, influenced by the Manning roughness coefficient. Sediment dynamics reveal that increased settling velocities correlate with higher suspended sediment concentrations, with total suspended sediment at point P1 approximately 70% greater than at point P2. These findings elucidate the seasonal and hourly dynamics of tidal waves and sediment transport, offering critical insights to support the effective conservation of B. hainesii.

Abstract

Indonesia has targeted achieving national sugar self-sufficiency in 2035 through intensification and extensification. Marginal land, including in geological formation areas originating from marine-volcanic influences, is considered for utilization. Efforts to increase the productivity of sugarcane cultivation land on marginal land require an evaluation of the suitability of varieties and fertilizer inputs. The study aimed to characterize and manage land in the marine-volcanic area of ??Mount Semeru for sugarcane cultivation. The method used to answer the challenges of marginal land for sugarcane cultivation was divided into stages: environmental identification, climate identification, soil characteristic identification, resistant typology evaluation, sugarcane maturity type evaluation, variety suitability identification, and fertilizer dosage. The results of the study showed that marine-volcanic land can be utilized for sugarcane cultivation to produce high productivity above 80 t/ha by placing location-specific varieties and appropriate fertilizer management. Environmental and soil characteristics include rainfall of >2,000 mm/year and flat-sloping land topography dominated by an average sand texture fraction of > 30%. The appropriate varieties are Kidang Kencana, Bululawang/, NXI 4T, VMC 76-16, VMC 86-550, and NX03. The type of maturity of sugarcane varieties at the research location partly changed, such as the NX03 and VMC 76-16 varieties, which were originally middle-late ripe and changed to early-middle, which affected the fertilizer given at each location and the influence of clay percentage. The amount of fertilizer in the research area on average for plantcane was 151.75 kg/ha, 62 kg/haP2O5, and 103.5 kg/haK2O, and for ratoon 227.63 kg/ha, 38 kg/haP2O5, and 146.5 kg/haK2O.
