Abstract

Human activity affects both natural resources and spatial land use, including its utilization as sand mining sites. Sand mines, as a pillar of building construction, have been over excavated in certain areas, which has impacted the environment. In this research, the purpose of this study was to determine a spatial allocation of the mining designation area that will not damage the groundwater flow. Therefore, it is imperative for understanding the depth of groundwater at the study site, understanding the direction of groundwater flow, and the impact of mining activities on groundwater based on the combination of geophysical and geological approaches to improve the current government policy. A geological-geophysics approach, vertical electrical sounding (VES), was followed at 12 different locations surrounding the Kertek District, which has a general geological formation of igneous volcanic rock sediment. The result of the geophysical measurements (possibilities) indicates the presence of shallow, medium, and deep groundwater aquifers, which tended to follow the slope direction to the south. This may be due to the unsaturated soil conditions as the geoelectrical measurements were taken at the beginning of the rainy season. Finally, the goals of this research were to integrate resources with spatial characteristics to allow proper resources management.

Abstract

In Ethiopia, the increase in land degradation mainly in the form of soil erosion necessitates implementation of soil and water conservation (SWC) practices. So far impact evaluation studies are scattered and not comprehensive. In this paper detailed quantitative review of impact of SWC practices under different climate and socio-economic setting were done on runoff, soil loss, siltation, soil fertility and crop yield. Up to 1980s, expert and government considered reduction of soil loss and runoff as big achievement. This was not in line with the interest of subsistence farmers who need short term benefit. The reduction of soil loss, runoff and siltation of reservoirs are positively acknowledged by majority researchers and have several beneficial effects: increase soil moisture content, groundwater recharge, increased in situ sediment deposition, making the hill slope suitable for agriculture and reduce siltation. Regarding production objective, SWC practices have mixed impact (positive and negative) on crop yield and soil fertility. In this review it was found that 62.5% of the reviewed materials revealed that SWC measures have positive impact on soil fertility either in increasing or maintaining. In contrast, 25% showed SWC treated areas had lower soil fertility than untreated and 12.5% showed no significant change in soil fertility. In summary, the impact of SWC practices especially on soil fertility and crop yield varies depending on soil erosion degree before SWC implemented, design of SWC measures, crops, plows, socio-economic, soils types and climate mainly rainfall. The review in detail discussed why SWC practices have variation in impact on soil fertility and crop yield. Finally SWC practices are an action of no option for sustainable development and food security under current soil erosion and climate change.

Abstract

Drought has become a severe disaster faced by several regions in Java, Indonesia due to land cover changes including forest conversion and the increase in air temperature. In this regards, the availability of forests related to lowflow has been a controversial debate. Forest in Java is dominated by teak; however, the hydrological teak forest has not been well known. Therefore, a research has been undertaken to know the baseflow and low-flow of teak catchments covered by various old teak forest areas. The research areas were in Blora District, Central Java, Indonesia. Data of2008-2015 from five catchments with areas of 3.38, 13.47, 20.14, 27.79, 64.80, and 69.20 ha and covered by old teak forests of 82, 82, 74, 70, and 53% of the catchment were analyzed. In this study, baseflow is the delayed flow from bank storage, and low-flow is stream flow in the dry season. The results showed that baseflow is affected by the percentage of old teak plantation areas, rainfall and antecedent soil moisture condition. Areas of the old teak plantation and the baseflow show negative and non-linear correlation. High low-flow occurs in the catchments with the percentage of old teak plantation about 74 to 70%.

Abstract

Most of the forest area of PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII have been converted to the plantation (tea, cacao, coffee) and agriculture, such as crops (intercropping of oranges and pineapple) areas. The forest conversion will affect soil biodiversity, which will reduce soil mesofauna population, such as the Oribatids group. Oribatids is one of the soil mesofauna which has a very important role in the soil as a decomposer. Because of its important role and their huge numbers in the soil, Oribatids can be used as a bioindicator of soil fertility. This study aimed to elucidate the abundance and diversity of Oribatids and the relationship between soil properties and population of Oribatids in three types of land use at PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII. Soil and litter samples were taken in three different types of land use (tea gardens, intercropping, and secondary forests) using a simple random sampling method with a distance of each of the 15 sampling points of 100 m at a soil depth of 0-5 cm. Soil and litter samples were extracted using Berlese Funnel Heat Extractor. Oribatids identification was carried out until the family level, and the Oribatids diversity index were determined according to Shannon's diversity index. The identification results obtained in the three types of land use amounted to 24 families from 172 families found previously. The highest abundance of Oribatids was found in secondary forests both in the soil and litter layer (169.85 and 428.87 individuals/m², respectively), the lowest abundance of Oribatids was found in intercropping both in the soil and litter layer (89.17 and 229.30 individuals/m², respectively). According to Shannon Wiener (H'), the diversity index value ranges from 1.48-1.85 or it was categorized as a low-medium diversity value. The results of this study indicated that there was a positive correlation coefficient value from several families of Oribatids with soil pH, organic C, total N, C/N ratio, water content, and soil temperature.

Abstract

Metallophytes are group of plants that can thrive on metal-rich substrate. These plants have potential in various green technologies. However, it is a must to first identify plants that can absorb heavy metals and tolerate the high concentration in their tissues. This study assessed the ability of plants thriving in a Cu-Au mined areas to uptake copper (Cu), and arsenic (As). The Cu and As content of the dried leaves, root tissues and soils were quantified using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and their bioaccumulation coefficient (BAC) were computed. Three species, Pityrogramma calomelanos, Cynodon dactylon and Nephrolepis biserrata, showed metal accumulation in the plant tissues. The three species have accumulation of Cu in the root and the estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) is more than 1.0 which indicates the ability of these species to tolerate for said the metal hence is a good candidate for phytostabilization of polluted soils. Noteworthy was the accumulation of As in the shoot of the three species despite of the low soil As (<0.01 µg/g). Nephrolepis biserrata had the highest arsenic bioaccumulation factor of 30.91 followed by Cynodon dactylon (11.01) then Pityrogramma calomelanos (8.78) which make them potential species for clean-up of As through phytoextraction. Moreover, this study added C. dactylon as tolerant of arsenic in mined-out area in the Philippines.

Abstract

A better understanding of the spatial variability of soil nitrogen content is required to achieve the best management in precision agriculture. The purpose of this research was to determine the spatial variability of soil nitrogen content based on reliefs in an apple orchard. The research was conducted from March to August 2018 in a 1210 hectare of apple orchard, Batu, East Java Province, Indonesia. Soil samples were taken using the stratified random sampling method. Data were processed by the GLM Univariate 5% method with SPSS 16.0. The results of the statistical analysis show that the Sig value and coefficient of determination were 0.000 and 0.846, respectively. This condition means that soil nitrogen content was significantly different in various reliefs. The apple orchard was divided into 10 (ten) zones with different soil nitrogen content in various relief. It is crucial as a basis for implementing precision agriculture in apple orchards, meaning that the determination of fertilizer dosage is adjusted to the soil nitrogen content in the various zones. This study concluded that relief significantly affects the spatial variability of soil nitrogen content.

Abstract

A field experiment to elucidate the effect of tillage systems and dosages of cow manure on weed and soybeans yield (Glycine max, Merrill) was conducted at the Agrotechno Park of the University of Brawijaya in Jatikerto, Malang, from May to July 2017. The experiment used a split-plot design with 3 replications. The main plot was the tillage systems, with 3 levels: T0= No-tillage, T1= Minimum tillage, and T2 = Conventional tillage. The subplot was the dosages of cow manure, with 3 levels: P1= 2.5 t cow manure/ha, P2 = 5 t cow manure/ha, and P3 = 7.5 t cow manure/ha. Results of experiment showed that dry weight of weed was higher at no-tillage systems and at dosages of 7.5 t cow manure/ha. Growth and yield of soybean were lower at no-tillage compared with conventional tillage systems. Application of cow manure with dosages of 5 t/ha and 7.5 t/ha was better than 2.5 t/ha for growth and yield of soybean.

Abstract

Labile fraction plays a crucial role in maintaining soil fertility. Until recently, the information on the labile fraction of soil organic matter in dry lands with dry climates of Indonesia is very limited. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to study the changes of a labile fraction of soil organic matter in those drylands. The soil samples were obtained from 4 sub-districts (Kanatang, Haharu, Pandawai, and Matawai La Pawu) of Sumba Timur District. Those sub-districts have different altitudes, i.e. from 25 m – 900 m above sea level (asl). Soil samples were taken at 0-20 cm soil depth. Chemical analysis on soil pH, total N, organic C, and labile fractions analysis (water-soluble fraction, microbial biomass C, particulate organic matter, and microbial biomass N and water-soluble N) was done at The Plant and Soil Analytical Laboratory of ILETRI. The results indicated that altitude affected the availability of total N and organic C in soils. The higher the altitudes, the lower were N concentrations and conversely for the concentration of organic C and C:N ratio. Labile fraction N (water-soluble N and microbial biomass N) was reduced by increasing the altitudes. The ratio of labile fraction/organic C at altitudes >700 m asl was higher. This meant that the concentration of the active carbon pool was higher compared to that at altitudes <700 m asl. The ratio of MBC/SOC, as the indicator for the rate of biological activity, at altitudes >700 m asl was also high. The high value of MBC/SOC showed that the conversion of soil organic matter to microbial C was efficient.

Abstract

Environmental damage due to mining activities has now become an international issue as its regional and global assessments are widely reported from various mining commodities. Nevertheless, only a few studies have published environmental damage on detailed and local scales. This research was designed to assess the environmental damage induced by traditional mining in the Wungkal Hills, Yogyakarta on these scales by a descriptive exploratory method and quantitative measurement in the field. The mining commodity is clay, which is used as the raw material of bricks and tiles. The observed parameters included abiotic, biotic, and cultural components. The level of damage to abiotic and biotic components due to traditional mining fell into the category of critically damaged. It is attributable to faulty mining procedures that do not incorporate ecological aspects. Changes in landscape, slope, the height of excavation cliff, and the absence of vegetation lead to physical damages by extreme erosion and trigger landslides. Culturally, there was no negative impact on society. Lack of ecological understanding underlays public ignorance of the damage that the traditional mining activities had caused. In the study area, the environmental damages were critical both on detailed and local scales. Reclamation and revegetation based on the agroforestry concept are recommended for the restoration of post-mining land productivity

Abstract

This study that was carried out in paddy fields on Paguyangan Highway in Paguyangan Village, Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency, was aimed to find out the effect of the road incline position, the distance between road and rice field toward the lead content and rice productivity. The study used a survey method namely purposive random sampling with two factors. The first factor was the incline position consisting of three slope levels, i.e. the beginning of the ramp (T1) with an altitude of 300 m above sea level (m asl), and a slope of 3.4º, the mid ramps (T2) with an altitude of 315 m asl and slope of 15.84º, and the end of the ramp (T3) with an altitude of 330 m asl and a slope of 8.7º. The second factor was the distance of sampling points from road i.e. 15 m (J1), 35 m (J2) and 55 m (J3). The measured variables were lead contents in rice and soil, as well as, the yield of rice. The results showed that the difference in incline position and distance between roads toward plants did not significantly affect lead content in rice, lead content the soil, and rice productivity on paddy fields around Paguyangan Highway, Paguyangan Village, Brebes Regency, although the lead contents in rice and in the soils were above the specified threshold.
