Impact Analysis of Forest and Peatland Landscape Change: Socio-Economic and Environmental Implications
No full textBackground: Forest fires represent natural disasters that often stem from environmental conditions, including events like El Niño or extreme climatic situations. Rainfall, a crucial factor, plays a role in influencing extreme climate occurrences. Areas with high potential for forest fires encompass conservation zones closely linked to human activities. An illustrative example is the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS), which serves both as a conservation and tourist area. The presence of human tourists or visitors in these conservation zones creates conditions conducive to forest fires, particularly when supported by extreme climatic conditions. Method: This study used field observation methods, satellite data analysis, and interviews with authorities and environmental experts. The data collected included the area affected, the plant types, and the environmental conditions after the fire. Findings: TNBTS experiences a specific rainfall pattern, with the lowest precipitation observed in May-Jun-Jul-Aug-Sept and the highest in Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar. During periods of low rainfall, TNBTS becomes susceptible to fires, necessitating preventative measures in the month leading up to the dry season. Initiating preventative actions at the onset of the dry season, notably in May, is crucial for controlling forest fires. Analyzing hotspot data of fire incidents from 2001 to 2020 reveals peak occurrences among other nationalities in 2001, 2014, and 2019. Identification based on data indicates that not all hotspots signify fire incidents; some result from heat emanating from Mount Semeru's crater at the TNBTS location. Conclusion: This article concludes the importance of cooperation between authorities, environmental organizations, and communities in forest fire prevention and recovery efforts in Bromo National Park. Novelty/Originality in this article: This study also offers a new perspective in the interpretation of hotspot data by distinguishing between forest fires and volcanic activity and identifying May as a critical period for initiating preventive action analysis based on long-term rainfall patterns

Full text linkCow urine is an alternative to increase the availability, adequacy, and efficiency of nutrient uptake for plants containing microorganisms so that it can reduce the use of inorganic fertilisers (N, P, and K) and increase plant yields to the maximum. The application of liquid organic fertiliser must pay attention to the concentration or dose applied to the plants. This research aims to determine the effect of various concentrations of liquid organic fertiliser made from cow urine on the growth of durian seedlings. This research was carried out for three months, from February to May 2023, at the Arboretum of the Faculty of Forestry, Tadulako University. This research used a completely randomised design (CRD) method consisting of five treatments. M0 = control, M1 = (150 ml POC: 850 ml water), M2 = (200 ml POC: 800 ml water), M3 = (250 ml POC: 750 ml water), and M4 = (300 ml POC: 700 ml water). The five treatments were repeated six times, so the total experimental units were 30. The parameters observed in this research were the increase in seedling height, the increase in the number of seedling leaves, and the increase in seedling diameter. Research data was analysed using analysis of variance. Further tests were carried out using the Honestly Significant Difference (BNJ) test at the 5% level. The results of the variance analysis showed that the application of various concentrations of liquid organic fertiliser made from cow urine had a significant effect on the increase in height, the number of leaves, and the diameter of durian seedlings. Based on the results of the BNJ test at the 5% level, it shows that the average increase in seedling height, number of leaves, and diameter of durian seedlings in the M4 treatment was significantly different from the M3, M2, M1, and M0 treatments. The average increase in height of durian seedlings is M4 = 5 cm, M3 = 4.66 cm, M2 = 4 cm, M1 = 2.91 cm, and M0 = 2.08. Average increase in number of leaves: M4 = 4 pieces, M3 = 3.33 pieces, M2 = 2.66 pieces, M1 = 2.16 cm, and M0 = 1.83. Average increase in diameter: M4 = 1.21, M3 = 1.03, M2 = 0.73, M1 = 0.45, and M0 = 0.28
