Abstract

Global energy crisis raises biofuel prices significantly. It has driven the world to enhance  environmentally-friendly renewable-energy (biofuel) production. Calophyllum inophyllum (Nyamplung) is one of the potential biofuel sources, extracted from its seeds which can be harvested up to 50 years. Technical-practices of biofuel production for nyamplung seeds have been developed at industrial scale by cooperations in Cilacap (Java) and Energy Self-Sufficient Villages (Desa Mandiri Energi) in Banyuwangi, Purworejo, Kebumen, Ujung Kulon (Java) and Selayar (outside Java). However, there is only a limited-information available on biofuel productivity and quality from nyamplung  populations. This paper studies the biofuel-potential-variations among 12 populations in Indonesia (6 from Java, 6 outside Java) in terms of genetically-improved seed-sources. The oil was extracted using a combination of vertical hot press  (VHP) and screw press expeller (SPE) followed by degumming to make refined oil, and esterification-transesterification to turn it into biodiesel. The result shows great variation of biofuel content among the population. Oil production percentage varies from 37-48,5% (VHP) and 50-58% (SPE) crude oil, 36-48% (VHP) and 40-53% (SPE) refined oil, and 17-33% (SPE) for biodiesel. The highest variation after degumming is due to high seed resin content. DNA analysis shows genetic-variations among populations from intermediate (Java) to high (ouside Java) and intermediate within populations. Information of biofuel content, DNA analysis and environmental conditions for each population are considered to be important factors to establish genetically-improved seed-sources.

Abstract

Regeneration of Imperata grassland areas is becoming increasingly important, both to create new secondary forest and to recover the original biodiversity. We studied the diversity of plant communities in secondary succession of Imperata grasslands using 45 subplots of 9 linear transects (10 m x 100 m). Data was collected and all stems over 10 cm dbh were identified  , the Importance Values Index (IVI) for all trees were calculated, saplings and seedlings were counted  and analysed, and soil samples were taken and analysed. Results showed that  after more than 10 years of regeneration, 65 families were encountered consisting of 164 species, which were dominated by Vernonia arborea Buch.-Ham, Vitex pinnata L., Macaranga gigantea (Reichb.f. & Zoll.) Muell.Arg., Symplocos crassipes C.B. Clarke, Artocarpus odoratissimus Miq., and Bridelia glauca Blume. The effects of regeneration, from Imperata grassland to secondary forest, on soil were the strongest in the A-horizon where an increase in carbon, N content, and pH were observed. Our result shows that Imperata grasslands appear to be permanent because of frequent fires and human interferences and so far few efforts have been made to promote sustainable rehabilitation. If protected from fire and other disturbances, such as shifting cultivation, Imperata grassland will grow and develop into secondary forest.

Abstract

Allometric equations can be used to estimate the biomass and carbon stock of the forest. However, so far the allometric equations for commercial species in Papua tropical forests have not been appropriately developed. In this research, allometric equations are presented based on the genera of commercial species. Few equations have been developed for the commercial species of Intsia, Pometia, Palaquium and Vatica genera and an equation of a mix of these genera. The number of trees sampled in this research was 49, with diameters (1,30 m above ground or above buttresses) ranging from 5 to 40 cm. Destructive sampling was used to collect the samples where Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and Wood Density (WD) were used as predictors for dry weight of Total Above-Ground Biomass (TAGB). Model comparison and selection were based on the values of F-statistics, R-sq, R-sq (adj), and average deviation. Based on these statistical indicators, the most suitable model for Intsia, Pometia, Palaquium and Vatica genera respectively are Log(TAGB) = -0,76 + 2,51Log(DBH), Log(TAGB) = -0,84 + 2,57Log(DBH), Log(TAGB) = -1,52 + 2,96Log(DBH), and Log(TAGB) = -0.09 + 2,08Log(DBH). Additional explanatory variables such as Commercial Bole Height (CBH) do not really increase the indicators’ goodness of fit for the equation. An alternative model to incorporate wood density should  be considered for estimating the above ground biomass for mixed genera.  Comparing the presented mixed-genera equation; Log(TAGB) = 0,205 + 2,08Log(DBH) + 1,75Log(WD), R-sq: 97,00%, R-sq (adj): 96,90%, F-statistics 750,67, average deviation: 3,50%; to previously published data shows that this local species-specific equation differs substantially from previously published equations and this site-specific equation is  considered to give a better estimation of biomass.

Abstract

Reliable information on total tree height (H) is fundamental of forest resource management and forest ecological studies, including assessment of forest biomass. Adding an H variable can improve the performance of the allometric equations of the biomass by reducing the average deviation significantly. However, measuring H is relatively complex, less accurate, time consuming, and expensive. Thus, H is only measured for sampled trees within the plots, whilst diameter at breast height (DBH) is commonly measured for each tree during the forest inventory. The missing H information is usually estimated based on a stand-specific allometric relationship between H and DBH (H-D model) constructed from sampled trees. Despite extensive studies on H-D model for boreal forests and for single-species/plantation forests, few studies have focused on tropical forests. Furthermore, relationship for peat swamp forest tree species, and especially those in Indonesia, have not been widely published. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop site-specific H-D models for tropical peat swamp forests using linearized and non-linear regression functions. The results indicated that the non-linear models outperformed the linearized models based on the statistical parameters and the biological criteria. The modified logistic function (Model 7) is recommended for estimating H in the study area as it has comparable model performances to the exponential function (Model 6) and passed the diameter-height point of (0, 1.3). However, all five non-linear models performed equally well and the differences between them were trivial. Further improvements are needed to improve the accuracy, the predictive ability and the geographical applicability of the models by grouping the species, adding stand variables and (or) using advanced techniques of mixed-effect modelling. In addition, model validation should be carried out prior to their application by collecting new datasets from the forest being studied.

Abstract

Sappan wood or kayu secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) was reported of having medicinal properties,  such as  natural antioxidant, relieve vomiting of blood, and mix of ingredients for malaria drugs.  The research was conducted to study the influence of ethanol extract from sappan wood on blood glucose level of white rats. The study of the blood glucose level in rats was carried out by using glucose tolerance method. It was measured by Refloluxs (Accutrend GC) with Chloropropamide 50 mg/200 g BW (Body weight) as positive control. The ethanol extracts were used in various concentrations 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/200 g BW per-oral and was observed every  hour,  beginning one hour before to 7 hours after the extract being administered. The results showed that treatment of ethanol extract of sappan wood by administer doses gave remarkable effect on the blood glucose level in white rat. It reduced the glucose level in the blood compared to the negative and positive control. Treatment of dose 30 mg/200 g BW gave similar effect to positive controls, while a dose of 50 mg/200 g BW gave lower blood glucose level (93 mg/dl) than the positive controls.

Abstract

Forest stand structure could be used as one of the variables in deciding the possibility to harvest forest product. On logged-over forests, data and information over stand structure could become the basis for decision making for harvesting. To measure and analyze yield on logged-over forest, each forest management unit (IUPHHK) is obligated to establish Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs) for monitoring the growth and yield of the managed stand. In some of the plots, maintenances and thinning treatments are applied while other plots are not treated.  The results, after several years of observations, showed that there was a difference in stand structure (tree number) of each diameter class both in plots with treatment and without treatment. The rate of in-growth, up-growth and mortality varied between plots without and with treatment in each diameter class and length of time after harvesting. The average diameter increment of trees in the stands of the untreated plots was higher (0.60 cm yr-1) compared to the treated plots (0.55 cm yr-1).

Based on these statistical indicators, the most suitable model is Log(TAGB) = c + aLog(DBH). This research finding can be extrapolated for managing forests related to carbon balance. Additional explanatory variables such as commercial bole height (CBH) do not really increase the indicators’ goodness of fit for the equation. An alternative model to incorporate wood density must be considered for estimating the aboveground biomass for mixed genera.  Comparing the presented equations to previously published data shows that these local species-specific and generic equations differ substantially from previously published equations and that site-specific equations must be considered to get a better estimation of biomass.
