Abstract

The paper discusses the environmental impact of industrial minerals mining. Research shows that interest in mining of industrial minerals increases year by year, and their demand and consumption will steadily grow. The market conditions are favorable for developing new fields. Both opencast and underground mined minerals are most popular these days. The industrial minerals market analysis indicates its dynamics, but the high monopoly degree of mining of certain minerals causes some restrictions on free competition in subsoil use. At the same time, environmental issues raised at the level of world power governments are not reflected in legislative documents. We raise the possibility of partial transition from opencast mining to underground one-as an alternative that carries environmental improvement of a mining area.

Abstract

Critical land in Indonesia is the result of weather disturbances, natural disasters, farming behavior without considering the preservation of nature, and the unwise use of chemical fertilizers. Critical land tends to be acidic and has a soil structure that does not support cultivation. Coffee plants are flexible plants, and their root systems and ecology can improve soil structure. The need for coffee at home and abroad tends to increase along with the development of coffee consumption as a lifestyle for Generation Z (Gen-Z). The economic value of coffee, which tends to increase, opens the insight of farmers to continue to develop this coffee plantation area. In the development of planting areas, knowledge of critical land optimization is needed, which is a principal factor as the basis for implementing critical land extensification. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of farmers on optimizing critical land into strategic land and efforts to develop coffee agribusiness in critical land. This study used a quantitative descriptive method and used the SmartPLS3 analysis tool. The results showed that internal factors, external factors, and motivation of farmers affect the level of knowledge about optimization of critical land, critical land management must meet ecological conservation and improve the community's economy in a structured manner, the extensification of critical land using coffee plants is one of the strategic steps for critical land optimization, as well as the development of coffee agribusiness, both seeds and waste as an effort to increase farmers' income.

Abstract

The Digital Elevation Number (DEM) is the main tool for quantitative geomorphological tests. Furthermore, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) images with a resolution of 30 m have been widely used as a source of DEM data in geomorphological studies, while DEMNAS (National DEM) images with 8 m are rarely used. Both images can identify typical volcanic morphology based on a visual comparison of hillshade with certain variations in slope. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of DEM for tectonic activity assessment based on morphotectonic indices. In this study, geomorphological comparisons were carried out on twelve watersheds in the Seulawah Agam Volcano (SAV). The data extraction of DEM resulted in the total area and perimeter, namely 486.8 km2 and 455 km (SRTM), as well as 482.8 km2 and 460.3 km (DEMNAS). The total segments up to the 4th order and the resulting lengths were 290 and 512.8 km for SRTM, while DEMNAS were 527 and 711.7 km. The morphotectonic variables used included drainage density, bifurcation, circularity, and valley floor ratio, as well as basin shape index. The results of these parameter calculations using mean values of SRTM imagery showed very coarse textures, deformed, more elongated, moderate tectonic, and low uplift. On the other hand, those of DEMNAS imagery showed coarse textures, not-deformed, more elongated, low tectonic, and low uplift of the basin’s characteristics.

Abstract

One of the indicators of land productivity assessment is soil fertility. The causes of infertile soil have been widely reported. This study aimed to evaluate soil fertility using the Soil Fertility Capability Classification (SFCC) approach and to determine the relationship between soil morphological and physiochemical properties and soil fertility. The research was conducted in North Galela Sub-district, North Halmahera Regency. The research framework began with the interpretation of thematic maps, surveys, field observations, and the making of soil fertility evaluation maps. Soil sampling was carried out based on the stratified random sampling method and supported by laboratory measurements according to USDA international standards. The research result showed that the research area had 14 soil fertility statuses. The fertility classes having the most significant limiting factor were loamy texture (Ø<0.002 mm), rock surface, gravel subsoil, moderate salinity (0.2-0.4 mS cm-1), low exchangeable K (<20 cmol(+) kg-1), and sloping slope (8%) with Lithic Haprendolls type and loamy texture (Ø<0.002 mm), subsoil >15% rock outcrop, moderate salinity (0.2-0,4 mS cm-1), Na saturation >15%, and a rather steep slope (14%) with Lithic Eutrudepts type. Both of these classes have a top layer texture, and the bottom layer contains clay <35%, with limiting factors of hard layer inhibiting root to a depth of 50 cm, extremely low nutrient reserve, low electrical conductivity (EC) and high Na. The limiting factors found in North Galela Sub-district were hard root-restricting layer, exchangeable K, electrical conductivity, Na saturation, slope, and gravel.

Abstract

The decline of the forest cover due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in Sudan has reached a critical situation. Taungya agroforestry systems have been used as a strategy to safeguard against this process, allowing farmers to cultivate their subsistence crops at the early stage of tree plantations. The current study research tackled Nabag Forest Reserve (NFR) as a case study to assess and explore Taungya agroforestry system as a practice used for forest rehabilitation in the study area. Satellite images of Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper, and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor of 1991, 2001, 2011, and 2021 were used to generate forest cover maps. Both unsupervised and supervised classification, as well as ground truth points, were applied to classify the vegetation cover in NFR as dense forest (DF), light forest (LF), agricultural field (AF), and bare land (BL). The results showed that two trends of forest cover changes occurred in NFR between 1991-2001 and 2011-2021. It was well explored that through Taungya agroforestry, there was a considerable increase in forest cover over this period. This could be clearly detected by increasing dense forest and light forest cover by 1041.73 ha (24.95%) and 2.95 ha (0.07%), respectively and decreasing of bare land and agricultural field by 409.79 ha (9.81%) and 634.52 ha (15.15%) during the addressed period. The findings of the study indicated that Taungya agroforestry system could be a feasible land-use alternative for forest recovery in the dry land of Sudan.

Abstract

The artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector offers a supplementary livelihood strategy to agriculture in northern Ghana, acting as a source of capital to support agriculture. However, the sector has been associated with several adverse environmental and socio-economic consequences, making its sustainability dimensions extremely complex and inconclusive across the literature. This study sought to investigate the dynamics of ASM operations in line with the Triple Bottom Line concept. Specifically, the paper explored the influence of the small-scale mining law and institutional framework on ASM operations, examined the relationship between the economic benefits of ASM and other livelihood activities, and assessed the adverse environmental effects of ASM in the host communities. The research design was a mixed method and cross-sectional survey. Household questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation were the main primary data collection techniques. Secondary data were provided by satellite images sourced from USGS Earth Explorer. They were analysed to determine the land cover types. The results indicate that the relevant regulatory state institutions lag behind their law enforcement duty. The ASM is a lucrative job that provides quick income to the youth. However, ASM activities affect food crop farming and decrease the quantity and quality of vegetation causing variations in land cover. Consequently, the host communities and ASM cooperatives have employed some land reclamation strategies. The study recommends increased government support to the relevant regulatory state institutions to constantly monitor and sanitize the ASM sector. To eradicate illegal mining, the study advocates for multi-stakeholder consultation and action.

Abstract

Lithological information is important in mineral resource exploration, geological observations, mine planning or degradation vulnerability assessment. Currently, lithology mapping can be performed in a fast, inexpensive, and easy way using remote sensing data and machine learning. Remote sensing techniques have become a valuable and promising tool for mapping lithological units and searching for minerals. Typically, the integration of remote sensing data with geophysical data provides a better diagnosis to lithological units than single-source mapping methodologies. Accordingly, this study used a combination of remote sensing and airborne geophysical data utilizing the Random Forest algorithm with small training samples to enhance lithology mapping in Komopa, Papua Province, Indonesia. Geophysical data consisting of magnetic, electromagnetic, and radiometric were added one by one gradually to the remote sensing data, which includes Sentinel 2A, ALOS PALSAR, and DEM (digital elevation model) to compare the accuracy of the classification results from each dataset. The results showed that the model that combined remote sensing data and the three types of geophysical data produced the best classification, with an overall accuracy of 0.81, precision of 0.66, recall of 0.47, and F1 score of 0.52. This fused data can increase the accuracy of the classification results by 8% overall accuracy, 6% precision, 11% recall, and 13% F1 score when compared to the model that only used remote sensing data.

Abstract

The exploitation of natural resources remains a common practice in many countries to stimulate economic growth, and coal is the most commonly exploited resource. However, the mining process often causes environmental disturbance. Therefore, this research was conducted to analyze the ideal implementation of coal mine reclamation in Indonesia. In the post-mining area, the land is often arid, with voids that are prone to flood and erosion. The reclamation of this area is carried out by returning topsoil, adding organic material, and planting cover crops and fast-growing species. When the topographical conditions have steep slopes, scrap engineering is often added to hills up to a maximum height of 8 meters, trimming the slope with a maximum remaining slope of 35 degrees and making drainage channels with a width of more than 3 meters, a depth of more than 2 meters, and an edge slope of 2-5 percent. Approximately 70.59% of reclamation programs in Indonesia are aimed at reforesting mining areas into secondary forests because they were previously a forest ecosystem. The types of reclamation that had been carried out but were still uncommon included aquaculture, urban forests, parks playground, sports park, cattle farms, and fauna conservation ecotourism. A new approach to reclamation, such as eco-habitat, is important to obtain optimal social, economic, and ecological benefits. This approach involves optimizing sources of livelihood based on area rezoning according to the level of interference, revegetation of plants involving the community, and revitalization of sources of community livelihood, specifically environmental restoration with plant species as sources of food, nutrition, minerals, income, and non-timber forest products. Therefore, the reclamation program should be carried out through a collaborative partnership between companies, local communities, academics, technical ministries, and the media.

Abstract

This paper aims to characterize and test the stability of sulfuric natural water (SNW) from Sebau East Lombok as a sulfidation agent for several dissolved metals (Mn, Cu, Pb and Fe). The parameters used for SNW characterization are temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD, TSS, and TDS. The sample was divided into two categories, namely the sample with preservation treatment and the sample without preservation, to study the stability of SNW. The SNW stability was determined by observing the SNW parameters in both samples at a storage time of 5, 10, 15 and 20 days and reacting them with dissolved metals. The SNW with preservation had reduced sulphide levels from day 1 to day 20, ranging from 59.24 mg/L to 17.70 mg/L, whereas the sample without preservation had decreased sulphide concentration from 52.46 mg/L to 9.56 mg/L. Furthermore, the SNW with preservation has a relatively superior metal reduction ratio than the sample without preservation. The maximum value of the deposition ratio for Mn metal was obtained on the fifth day with 57.60%, 83.45% for Cu, and 91.87% for Pb. This trend is not applicable for Fe, whereas the highest reduction (87.23%) was obtained on the the15th day's storage.

Abstract

A biodegradable seedling container was developed to minimize plastic waste in the field during post-mining land revegetation activities. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the physiological response and growth of Samanea saman grown in a biodegradable seedling container filled with post-silica mined soil media. A factorial experimental design was used with two factors, namely (1) basic raw materials, namely recycled newspaper, compost, and cocopeat, and (2) size of raw materials, including 5 mesh, 10 mesh, and 8 mesh. The parameters measured were photosynthetic rate, leaf greenness index, transpiration rate, height, and diameter of S. saman seedlings. The results showed that the interaction between the composition and size of basic raw materials of the biodegradable seedling container significantly increased the photosynthetic rate, leaf greenness index, transpiration rate, height, and diameter of seedlings. There was also a positive correlation between the rate of photosynthetic and leaf greenness index (r = 0.838). Furthermore, the C/N ratio of the biodegradable pot varied depending on the composition of materials used. After two months, the C/N ratio decreased, indicating that decomposition processes had occurred. Analysis of the biodegradable seedling container showed that it contains less than 0.08 mg Pb kg-1, which was considered a non-toxic element for plant growth.
