Abstract

Information about litter decomposition in Rhizophora Sp. mangrove stands of different planting ages is very important to find out the main factors affecting the whole information on structure and function of mangrove ecosystem and to improve mangrove management in the future. The objective of this study was to determine the litter decomposition in Rhizophora sp. mangrove stands of varying planting ages, with a case study in Subang Regency, West Java Province. Comparisons of litter decomposition were taken from five stands of planting ages (4 years, 12 years, 21 years, 29 years, and 38 years old). Four parameters of litter decomposition compared were dry weight of litter, decomposition rate, litter decomposition coefficient, and half-life time. The observation on Rhizophora Sp. mangrove stands was conducted in three plots of 10 m x 10 m. The results show that the litter decomposition parameters, especially dry weight of litter, decomposition rate, litter decomposition coefficient, and half-life time, were different on each planting age of Rhizophora sp. mangrove stands. The fastest time for litter decomposition was found in 12 years old of Rhizophora Sp. stands with the achievement for 90 days of observation and the decomposition efficiency of 100%. Meanwhile, the slowest was found in 38 years old of Rhizophora Sp. mangrove stands with more than 120 days, and the litter decomposition efficiency was about 97.84%. Environmental conditions (soil and water conditions, nitrogen content, and soil fauna) play a major role on its differentiation. It can be concluded that the litter decomposition in Rhizophora sp. mangrove stands of varying planting ages change over time because of the environmental conditions, but the complexity of the relation between ages is not always apparent.

Abstract

 Peatland fires in 2015 that hit 23 of 33 provinces in Indonesia is one of the worst fires in history. South Kalimantan is one of the 23 provinces with the burned land area of 19.179,9 hectares. Peatland burning in Banjarbaru and of Banjar Regency which totaled 1.536 fire point burning with a land area of approximately 1.500 hectares. The main factor of this land fires is of decreased water level in the peat land. Therefore, to overcome that fires will not happen again by creating a conservation pond to hold water, especially during the rainy season in order to keep moist peat.   The planning an peat land conservation in this area of 900 hectares. Peat ecosystem restoration can be done through the realignment of hydrological function where peat dome as a long-term water storage. The purpose of the research is to knowing the state of the physical properties soil for conservation pond made and knowing the condition of the ground water level in the field.  From the results of an investigation soil physical properties obtained peat has not undergone recast and the number of pores in the soil are very large so that the soil becomes porous with a high water level conditions.

Abstract

Forest as the financial capital for development has important roles in economic development of Kotawaringin Barat Regency. Commonly, forest is a large area of land where flora (trees) and fauna (animals) exist. It can produce woods and other products for human consumption (production function), regulate the water system for human life, prevent flooding and sea water intrusion (protection function), and preserve many species of plants and animals and ecosystem (conservation function). Economically, forest as the source of woods, rattans and other products provided foreign exchange for the country during 1980-1990; this case placed the subsector of forestry as one of the prime movers in Indonesia’s economy. The purpose of this research was to analyze the extent of the foresty’s  contribution to the economic development and social welfare in Kotawaringin Barat Regency. The research methodology was conducted by: a) interview, b) observation / field surveys and c) documentation (supporting data). The results showed that the contribution of forestry subsector in the economic development and social welfare of Kotawaringin Barat reached IDR 38.6 billion in 2011. Keywords: Contribution, Economy, Welfare

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to observe and analyze the water level variations of the culture media that were optimal for egg hatchability and larval survival of kelabau fish kept in aquarium. This study was conducted in the Freshwater Aquaculture Development Centre (FADC) Banjar Regency in August 2015. The method used in this study was experimental, using a completely randomized design with 3 treatments (A = water level of 15 cm/aquarium), (B = water level of 25 cm/aquarium), (C = water level of 35 cm/aquarium) and 3 replications. The parameters measured in this study were the egg hatchability, survival rate, relative growth rate, and water quality (temperature, pH, DO, Ammonia). Data were analyzed by Anova and the differences between treatments were tested with Duncan test. The results showed that the water level very significantly affected the egg hatchability with the highest value in B (38.29%) followed by C (31.83%) and A (14.04%). The highest survival rate was in C (79.73%) followed by B (65.10%) and A (21.83%). The relative growth rate had not significant effect with the average results between all treatments (104.92 – 117.27%). The water quality of the culture media was still good to support the growth and survival of fish.

Abstract

Leachate is wastewater that contains pollutants dominated by organic matter. Conventional leachate treatments have some disadvantages therefore alternative treatments are needed. One of that alternative treatments is ultrafiltration membrane and adsorption as pretreatment. The aims of this study are to analyze adsorption isotherm and kinetic model for UV254 (UV adsorbance at 254 nm wavelength) adsorption, the performance of powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption and ultrafiltration membrane hybrid process for UV254 of leachate removal, and the effect of pretreatment towards membrane fouling. The result of this study are Freundlich isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic model best fitted model for ultrafiltration membrane hybrid process condition for UV254 removal level are at pH 6; 120 minutes contact time; and 4 g/L PAC doses. Adsorption as pretreatment can reduce membrane ultrafiltration fouling.

Abstract

Good urban structure and activity require green open space to improve the ecological functions in it, but trees are not fully able to meet the important space in the urban vegetation while woody shrubs have the potential for it. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the potential of shrub as the component of urban vegetation so that it can be used as the information regarding the planning for land conversion in Cempaka subdistrict. Three sampling stations with 3 plots of 4x4 m at each station were determined on the basis of green open space data of shrubs in Cempaka subdistrict using a purposive sampling method. The shrub canopy was analyzed and environmental parameters were measured. Data were analyzed using the analysis of canopy volume, Pearson correlation analysis and analysis of Importance Value Index (IVI). The results of shrub vegetation estimation indicated that the volume of shrub vegetation canopy in Cempaka subdistrict was up to 22,462,878.50 m3 while the area with shrubs in the subdistrict was 5,675.116 hectares. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the canopy volume of shrubs in Cempaka subdistrict affected the changes in environmental factors. The most dominant shrub species was Ficus fistulosa Reinw. ex Bl with IVI value of 56.1%. It can be concluded that shrubs have potential as the component of the green space vegetation in urban areas.

Abstract

Hydro-physics of peat soils varied with their peat decomposition degree. One of the important hydro-physics is ability of the peat soil to release water as decreasing water table. Potential of water availabilty to crop growth is evidently related to this behaviour. The present study was conducted to understand modes of moisture release of peat soils as decreasing water table. Water tables were simulated using a hanging column method.  The water table was arranged at levels of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 cm below peat column surfaces. Potential of moisture release or in oppositely potential of moisture retention could be modelled with the 3 parameter equation.  Highly decomposed peat characterized by higher bulk density and lower total porosity stored less water but retained more water.Key words: available water, bulk density, peat soil, porosity.

Abstract

Aquaculture in Riam Kanan river receives watersupply from rivers and Riam Kanan reservoir from upstream to downstream and practices different irrigation and fertilization systems. This study was aimed to compare the planktoncommunity structure, to find out the physicalchemical parameters associated with the abundance of plankton and the fertility of the fish-farming ponds. The research was conducted at Mandiangin Freshwater Aquaculture Center (Balai Budidaya Air Tawar – BBAT), Karang Intan (Balai Benih dan Induk Ikan Air Tawar – BB-IAT) and Cindai Alus Minapolitan area by using the observationmethod. Water samples were taken by composite of 6 replicates at 12 stations. The parameters measured were temperature, visibility, pH, iron, free ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, DO, BOD and plankton analysis. Data were tested statistically with cluster, Pearson correlation and regression. The result shows that there are differences in plankton community structure in the fish ponds, shown by 5 cluster groups. The abundance of phytoplankton has a significant correlation with pH, temperature, DO, and free ammonia. The abundance of zooplankton also has a significant correlation with pH, DO, BOD, and free ammonia. The seed pond at BBAT Mandiangin is eutrophically dominated byBacillarophyta and Amoboezoa, while in BB-IAT Karang Intan and Cindai Alus are dominated by Cyanophyta and Rotifera. The inlet channel of BB-IAT Karang Intan and the broodstock pond belong to mesotrophic category, predominanceby Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta and Rotifer. BBIAT Karang Intan outlet ponds, BBAT Mandiangin inlet channel and Cindai Alus inlet pond are included in the oligotrophic category, predominance by Cyanophyta and Chlorophyta. Plankton community structure of the fishfarming pond varies even with the same ecological conditions.

Abstract

Potentially acid forming (PAF) and non-acid forming (NAF) lands are two types of lands found in ex-coal mine lands. These lands are similar to wetlands that have the potential to produce acid. PT. Jorong Barutama Greston is one of the coal mining companies required by the government to carry out reclamation by revegetation activities. Revegetation of ex-coal mine lands has generated plant biomass and carbon content to a specific value. The purposes of this study were to compare the amount of biomass and carbon content in ex-coal mine lands and to determine the best treatment for the ex-coal mine lands. The methods began with creating the measuring plots on the lands with different soil color (gray and brown). The soil color difference was determined by laboratory analysis test. For each different soil, the land revegetation was implemented with different treatments, 4 ameliorant treatments and 2 fertilization treatments so there were 8 units of treatments. Biomass and carbon content in each treatment unit were calculated by taking 4 plants as the laboratory test samples. The carbon content was calculated using the formula calculating the carbon of undergrowth with a diameter of < 5 cm. The results showed that the biomass and carbon content of plants in plot II were 17 times higher than those in plot I. The best treatment in plot I was the use of lime, bokashi and LOF (Liquid Organic Fertilizer) while the best treatment in plot II was the use of bokashi.
