Performance Comparison of K-Means Algorithm and BIRCH Algorithm in Clustering Earthquake Data in Indonesia with Web-Based Map Visualization
This study applies the K-Means and BIRCH algorithms to cluster earthquake data in Indonesia based on geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), depth, and magnitude from 2008 to 2023. Due to its position at the intersection of three major tectonic plates, Indonesia is highly prone to earthquakes, making the mapping of vulnerable regions essential for disaster risk reduction. K-Means is selected for its simplicity and clustering effectiveness, while BIRCH is known for its scalability and efficiency in processing large datasets. The clustering process involves data preprocessing and normalization, followed by determining the optimal number of clusters using the Elbow method. Initial findings indicate that K-Means produces more distinct and well-separated clusters than BIRCH, with Silhouette Scores of 0.3501 and 0.2247, respectively. However, after expanding the dataset to 121,123 records and incorporating additional attributes such as mag_type, phasecount, and azimuth_gap, BIRCH demonstrated a significant improvement in performance, achieving a Silhouette Score of 0.3489—surpassing K-Means, which dropped to 0.1293. These results suggest that BIRCH is more effective for clustering large and complex datasets. The final clustering results are visualized on a web-based map to support spatial analysis and the identification of earthquake-prone zones

Increasing the Growth of Upland Rice (Oryza sativa L.) on Ultisol Soil with the Provision of Solid Compost and Boiler Ash
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the primary food commodity for 98.86% of the Indonesian population. To meet national demand, rice production can be enhanced through the extensification and intensification of podzolic land using soil conditioners such as solid compost and oil palm boiler ash. This study aims to determine the interaction between solid compost and oil palm boiler ash, assess the effect of each treatment, and identify the optimal doses of solid compost and oil palm boiler ash for the growth and yield of upland rice cultivated in podzolic soil. The research was conducted using a factorial, completely randomized design (CRD). Factor I, solid compost, included the following treatments: 0 g per polybag (0 t.ha⁻¹), 12.5 g per polybag (2.5 t.ha⁻¹), 25 g per polybag (5 t.ha⁻¹), and 37.5 g per polybag (7.5 t.ha⁻¹). Factor II, boiler ash, comprised the following treatments: 0 g per polybag (0 t.ha⁻¹), 5 g per polybag (1 t.ha⁻¹), 10 g per polybag (2 t.ha⁻¹), and 15 g per polybag (3 t.ha⁻¹). The results indicated that a solid compost dose of 7.5 t.ha⁻¹ produced the best growth across all observed parameters. Additionally, a boiler ash dose of 2 t.ha⁻¹ was optimal for increasing the number of productive tillers, the number of whole grains per panicle, and the weight of dry milled grain per polybag. Conversely, a boiler ash dose of 3 t.ha⁻¹ was most effective in enhancing plant height, the maximum number of tillers, panicle emergence age, harvest age, the percentage of full grains, and the weight of 100 full grains
Dominance of Understory Vegetation and Biomass Production of Oil Palm Plantations on Mineral Land
The understory vegetation of oil palm plantations varies across different types of land. The biomass of this vegetation plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of oil palm plantation ecosystems. This study aims to identify the types of understory vegetation and calculate biomass production on the mineral land of PT. Rigunas Agri Utama's oil palm plantations. The research was conducted in August 2024 using direct observation methods. Observations of understory vegetation were carried out on 45 sample plots utilizing the quadrat method and the Plantnet application, with biomass measurements taken using the destructive sampling method. The results indicated the presence of 27 understory vegetation species with varying compositions. The most dominant species was Mitracarpus hirtus (L.) DC. The highest density, frequency, and dominance values were exhibited, with a species dominance ratio (SDR) of 35%. Understory vegetation primarily comprises broadleaf species and grasses, with a significant proportion being perennial plants that enhance ecosystem stability. The total biomass production of understory vegetation reached 5,943 kg over 12 hectares, resulting in carbon stocks of 2,793 kg C per 12 hectares. The species contributing the most to biomass include Mitracarpus hirtus, Cyperus rotundus, and Eleusine indica. The findings of this study indicate that the total carbon stock of understory vegetation in oil palm plantations is approximately 232.7 kg C per hectare.

Soil health is a crucial factor in the sustainability of Arabica coffee production, particularly in addressing the challenges of land degradation caused by conventional agricultural practices. One practical approach to naturally enhance soil fertility is implementing a regenerative farming system, which focuses on increasing the diversity of soil microbes to support a healthy and productive ecosystem. This study aims to analyze and compare the diversity of soil microbes in Arabica coffee fields managed under regenerative farming systems versus those under conventional farming systems. It will identify the dominant types of microbes in each system and examine how their presence influences soil fertility. Additionally, the study will assess the impact of regenerative farming on the balance of the soil microbial ecosystem and the health of coffee plants. The methodology employed is comparative, involving soil sampling through random sampling techniques. Microbial diversity will be analyzed using culture methods, with soil microbial observation parameters including bacteria, fungi, phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, respiration rates, and the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio. Laboratory data will be analyzed using comparative statistical tests, specifically the t-test. The study aimed to identify microbial distribution patterns using PCA-Bi Plot analysis. The results indicated that the total number of bacteria, fungi, total microbes, and soil respiration rates were significantly higher in the regenerative farming system than in the conventional system. The dominant soil microbes in the regenerative farming system included nitrogen (N) fixing bacteria and decomposer fungi. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.938, p < 0.01) was observed between total microbes and soil respiration. The regenerative farming system not only increases the number of soil microbes but also enhances the biological activity of the soil. These findings underscore the potential of regenerative agriculture as a viable alternative for improving soil quality in Coffea arabica cultivation, aligning ecological benefits with agricultural productivity
