Abstract

Rehabilitation of degraded peat-swamp forests, especially in Central Kalimantan Province, is becoming increasingly important in order to restore the ecological functions and maintain the biodiversity and carbon pool. The problem facing the rehabilitation effort is the limited knowledge about the techniques of rehabilitation on peat swamp lands using local species because inundation frequently occurs in this area during rainy season which greatly affects the growth of the plants. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of resistance of plants to inundation on peat swamp lands in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. The experiment was conducted in Taruna Jaya village, Jabiren subdistrict. Pulang Pisau Regency, using 14 different plant species endemic to peat swamp forests, with two factors, namely the level of immersion/inundation and plant species. In order to find out the plant resistance to inundation and the root growth, some variables were measured, such as the survival percentage of plants after tested in inundation and planted in the field, the assessment of the tree health using the criteria of Forest Health Monitoring (FHM), and the root-shoot ratio (RSR). The results showed that of the 14 species tested, Belangeran (Shorea balangera Korth) and Bintangur (Calophylum sp.) had good resistance to the condition of inundated soil, high adaptability in the field, and high value of RSR (root- shoot ratio). The plant species with high efficiency in absorbing nutrients and water were Shorea balangeran Korth, Calophyllum sp., Dyera polyphylla, and Alstonia pneumatophora. Those with the very high value of tree health were Alstonia pneumatophora, Calophyllum sp., D. pseudomalabarica, Dyera polyphylla, Shorea balangeran Korth, Trisraniopsis sp. and Stemonurus secondflorus.

Abstract

In the economy of South Kalimantan, the agricultural sector has a significant growth and plays a role as one of the major contributors to the economic structure. However, in some areas with particular land typology like freshwater swamp; it is not reflected in the level of farmers’ welfare. In reality, many farming households in freshwater swamp that solely rely on rice farming still live in a poor condition because of low income. It is therefore necessary to find the alternative solutions through agribusiness innovation. Until now freshwater swamp is always identified with non-organic rice or conventional freshwater swamp rice; Alabio livestock, Alabio potato and Swamp buffalo. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potency of freshwater swamp for the welfare of farmers through agribusiness innovation in addition to oil palm plantations. The study was conducted in Teluk Limbung Village, Babirik Subdistrict, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, by census with 17 farmers as the respondents. The productivity of organic rice in freshwater swamp reached 4.6 tons/ha. The earned income was greater compared to the income when the farmers only grew inorganic rice like what is commonly cultivated by farmers in the swampy lands.

Abstract

Mangrove forest area of 98,494.6 ha (72.86%) is distributed in Kotabaru Regency. Based on the forest status, the mangrove forest consists of a nature reserve zone covering an area of 66,487.5 ha (67.50%), production forests 3,510.4 ha (3.57%), and area for other uses 28,496.7 ha (28.93%) (BKSDA, 2008 the Ministry of Forestry, 2009; Sirang et al., 2010). The purpose of this study was to find out the spatial distribution of mangrove ecosystem in Teluk Kelumpang Nature Reserve. The study was conducted using a remote sensing technology (Landsat 7 ETM + 2012 (Path/Row: 117/063) to obtain data of the extent, and the distribution of mangrove forest species in Teluk Kelumpang nature reserve. The measurement of mangrove vegetation was to find out the potency and characteristics of mangrove forest stands. The results showed that the potential vegetation in the area of Teluk Kelumpang nature reserve was R. apiculata, R. mucronata and B. gymnorhiza. Teluk Kelumpang nature reserve is divided into two zones. The first zone is proximal zone (50 m - 100 m from coastline), a zone dominated by R. apiculata and R. mucronata plants. The second is middle zone, a mixed zone comprising B. gymnorhiza, X. granatum, C. decandra, and N. fruticans, with the area of > 100 m - 500 m from the river line and coastline.

Abstract

Local wisdom in utilizing swamp soil and water to improve the quality of gelam wood in Central Kalimantan becomes an interesting phenomenon. Improving the quality of wood can economize on the use of wood, which in turn preserves the forests in peat swamp lands. Gelam (Melaleuca sp.) woods that are mostly found in peat swamp forests can be used as piles/stakes in swamp soil, and they are durable for decades. The general objective of this study was to provide a scientific explanation of the effect of peat swamp soil and water on improving the quality of gelam wood either in barked and barkless conditions. This study was conducted by taking gelam trees that grew in Central Kalimantan. It was carried out for 18 months, and investigated the barked/barkless woods, media (swamp water, freshwater, peat swamp soil, and sandy soil) and 3 lengths of burying times. Wood properties analyzed were physical and mechanical properties. The standard of physical-mechanical property tests referred to British Standard 373. The results showed that the interaction between bark factor (A) and media (B) affected specific gravity. Barked wood produced the highest spesific gravity in swamp water medium. Water media (swamp and fresh water) improved the wood’s specific gravity more than soil media (swamp and sandy soil). The highest values of hardness, stress on Proportional Limit, and Modulus of Elasticity were in the medium of swamp soil. The improvement of the quality of gelam woods, which were either buried or used as stakes/piles, was allegedly resulted from the swamp water infiltrating into gelam woods that thereby increased the specific gravity.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Banjar Regency, in the areas of Keraton, Keramat Baru, Tungkaran, Akar Baru and Sungai Tabuk villages, South Kalimantan, from April-July 2009. The purpose of the study was to estimate the amount of carbon storage in water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) at freshwater swamps. The information obtained through this study is expected to provide benefits for the swampland management. The swamplands observed were the ones with water lettuce growing in the swamps. The sampling was carried out using purposive sampling technique with the consideration of grouping water lettuce’s distribution. The carbon storage measurement was performed by measuring biomass, organic carbon percentage in water lettuce, and total carbon storage in m2. The organic carbon was analyzed using Walkey & Black's Method. There were also analyses of crude fiber and ash in water lettuce. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical clusters. The carbon storage in water lettuce at freshwater swamps in Banjar Regency ranged between 64.07 – 237.75 g/m2. The average crude fiber ranged between 19.89 - 24.94 % and ash between 20.91 - 28.69%.

Abstract

The amount of critical lands, mostly wetlands, in South Kalimantan Province has increased, and it requires quick and sustainable recovery. An analysis of the potential of shrubs in vegetation indicated that shrubs had an important role in greening a city either in mixed vegetation or in vegetation filled with shrub strata. This basic characteristic becomes the basis of the study on carbon storage in shrubs and their potential as the alternative vegetation in the recovery of degraded lands. The study was conducted in Cempaka Subdistrict, Banjarbaru. Samples were taken at three stations, each of which consisted of three plots sample plots measuring 4 x 4 m. Carbon storage in the shrubs was estimated using the main stem diameter, and converted into table of average carbon estimation. The shrub canopy was estimated based on the types of canopy using formulas and types of canopy volume. The results showed that the average value of carbon storage contained in the shrubs per plot was 15.54 lbs/m2/day, with an average canopy volume per plot was 0.40 m3. In 1 ha of growing area, shrubs was estimated to absorb carbon up to 155,416.67 lbs. Total canopy volume developed by the shrub vegetation in the area was 22,462,878.50 m3/ha. The canopy volume has a correlation with carbon storage in shrubs, so shrubs are potential as the initial alternative vegetation or pioneer plants for reforestation of degraded land.
