Assessment of Mangrove Species Composition, Biomass, and Carbon Stock Potential for Climate Change Mitigation in Pekalongan, Indonesia
No full textMangrove forests are vital coastal ecosystems that support biodiversity and deliver key ecological services, particularly in tropical regions. In Pekalongan, Central Java, rapid coastal development and land-use change threaten their ecological integrity, particularly their role in carbon sequestration. This study assessed mangrove species richness, biomass, and carbon stock in both conservation and non-conservation areas to evaluate their ecological status and contribution to climate change mitigation. Six sampling sites, comprising protected and unprotected areas, were surveyed using 60 nested square plots to record tree and sapling populations. Biomass estimates, including above and below ground components, were calculated through specific allometric models. Results showed that conservation areas stored higher carbon (248.82 tC ha⁻¹) than non-conservation sites, though Degayu which an unprotected area had the second-highest carbon stock (159.66 tC ha⁻¹). Among species, Sonneratia alba contributed the most carbon, while dense saplings of Rhizophora apiculata and Bruguiera gymnorhiza suggest potential shifts in species dominance. The mean carbon stock (125.02 tC ha⁻¹, equivalent to 495.07 t CO₂e ha⁻¹) indicates substantial emission risks if degradation occurs. These findings underscore the critical role of both conservation and non-conservation mangroves in climate regulation and align with Indonesia’s current policy focus on blue carbon ecosystems, coastal resilience, and community-based conservation
Linking Surface Water Content to Groundwater Levels in Tropical Peatlands: Insights from the van Genuchten Approach
No full textTropical peatland in Indonesia have always been characterized by Peat Hydrology Units which have a function as a large amount of carbon storage and are able to regulate the hydrological cycle naturally. This study has two objectives, namely to analyze the variability of SWC, GWL, and rainfall parameters, to be able to understand the patterns of hydrological interactions in peatlandecosystems and to explain the quantitative relationship between SWC and GWL parameters using the van Genuchten Equation (VG) approach. The study also uses a VG based soil hydraulic curve modeling approach to describe groundwater retention and its impact on groundwater surface dynamics. The results showed that the SWC value was significantly influenced by the depth of theGWL and the intensity of rainfall, this underlined that the relationship between the two parameters is reciprocal. In addition, understanding the relationship between these parameters is very important, since the SWC value greatly determines the moisture status of the peat surface, in addition to directly the SWC value also affects the susceptibility of peat fires, while the GWLregulates the long-term hydrological balance and carbon emission potential. Therefore, conducting this study can improve understanding of hydrological feedback in peatlands. The results of the correlation analysis between parameters in this study showed that there was a strong relationship between SWC and GWL (R² = 0.6–0.8), while the correlation between GWL and Rainfall was weak(R² = 0.1–0.2). This suggests that SWC variation is primarily influenced by groundwater fluctuations rather than precipitation
Menilai Pemulihan Ekologis: Analisis Ekonomi Lingkungan terhadap Remediasi Tanah Terkontaminasi Minyak di Hutan Hujan Tropis
No full textThe hydrocarbon contamination affects approximately 5.9 ha of soil in Sultan Syarif Hasyim Grand Forest Park (Tahura SSH), a tropical rainforest in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the costs required to rehabilitate petroleum-contaminated soil and evaluate the economic significance of ecological restoration in a 5.9 ha area designated in Tahura SSH. This study provides a novel economic framework for assessing ecological damage and guiding recovery in a hydrocarbon-impacted area, integrating the Replacement Cost Method (RCM) through restoration cost calculations and the Resource Equivalence Analysis (REA) to assess and compensate for environmental damage-related losses. The study results show that the three main remediation technologies selected, bioventing, bioaugmentation & biostimulation, and ex-situ landfarming, were used to remediate oil-contaminated soil in Tahura SSH. The highest remediation costs are exsitu landfarming, followed by bioaugmentation and biostimulation, and then bioventing. The ex-situ land farming method incurred the highest remediation costs. Nevertheless, it causes ecological harm in the SSH Tahura Area. REA determined that the area required to replace oil-contaminated land should be twice the baseline from 5.9 ha to 12.8 ha. Furthermore, the compensation paid by REA for environmental damage exceeded the initial assessment by 116.1% compared to using the Replacement Cost Method (Bioaugmentation & Biostimulation, Bioventing, and Ex-Situ Landfarming). This study offers stakeholders guidance on determining a fair environmental value for oil-contaminated soil. Future studies Hutan hujan tropis, ekosistem global yang vital, menghadapi degradasi parah akibat aktivitas antropogenik, termasuk pencemaran minyak yang meluas. Artikel penelitian ini menyajikan penilaian ekonomi pemulihan ekologi di area hipotetis seluas 5,9 hektar yang terdampak hidrokarbon di dalam Taman Hutan Raya Sultan Syarif Hasyim, Provinsi Riau. Menggunakan Metode Biaya Penggantian, studi ini memperkirakan pengeluaran ekonomi yang terkait dengan tiga teknologi remediasi utama: bioventing, bioaugmentasi & biostimulasi, dan ex-situ landfarming. Secara bersamaan, Analisis Kesetaraan Sumber Daya (REA) digunakan untuk mengukur nilai ekologi layanan yang hilang dan mengarahkan restorasi kompensasi. Penilaian ini menjelaskan dampak lingkungan pencemaran minyak terhadap tanah, vegetasi, dan satwa liar, serta merinci biaya dan efektivitas setiap pendekatan remediasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa biaya remediasi sebagai kompensasi lingkungan untuk pencemaran minyak di hutan adalah bioventing (1.547.100,62), bioaugmentasi & biostimulasi (1.584.994,61), dan ex-situ landfarming ($2.624.841,35), masing-masing. Penerapan terintegrasi Metode Biaya Penggantian dan REA menyediakan kerangka kerja komprehensif untuk menilai kerusakan lingkungan, meningkatkan penilaian sumber daya alam dan lingkungan sebesar 46,6%, serta memberikan informasi untuk strategi pengelolaan adaptif guna pemulihan ekologi jangka panjang di hutan hujan tropis yang rentan.

The Effect of Information, Fear, and Risk Perceptions to Pro-Environmental Behavior among University Students in Indonesia
Full text linkClimate change is a serious threat to human safety and health. Pro-environmental behavior can avoid more serious risks and harm. Pro-environmental behavior is influenced by information, fear, and risk perceptions. As future educators, planners, and policymakers, it is critical to understand the factors influencing students\u27 pro-environmental behavior. This study, therefore, aims to examine the factors influencing students\u27 pro-environmental behavior based on the Protection Motivation Theory. A 77-item questionnaire was completed by 415 students from the Faculty of Arts and Languages, Science, and Education, randomly selected using the cluster sampling method in their last lecture class. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling showed that information, fear, and risk perception (reward, perceived severity, and perceived vulnerability) are both directly and indirectly mediated by motivation. In addition, the research identified the indirect and negligible effects of various protection motivation theory factors, including cost, responseefficacy, and self-efficiency. Further, an unexpected finding determines that pro-environmental behavior was unrelated to demographic and socioeconomic background. Overall, the study\u27s outcomes offer recommendations to socialize the risks climate change better causes to human health and safety, increasing fear and risk perceptions that may improve pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, stricter environmental behavior regulations are needed to penalize polluters and stop rewarding maladaptive behaviors
Peran Masyarakat Lokal dalam Mengelola Kerusakan Lingkungan untuk Mengatasi Konflik Sosial
No full textEnvironmental damage from palm oil production remains a pressing and significant global issue, driving ecosystem disruption and social conflicts. Local communities, as the first to experience its impacts, are central actors in addressing deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This study examines the role of local communities in the Subah sub-district, Indonesia, in managing environmental degradation and mitigating social conflicts associated with palm oil plantations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a Likert scale questionnaire with 101 respondents and field observations to capture both quantitative trends and community perspectives. The study underscores the importance of empowering local communities by integrating their traditional knowledge and practices into broader environmental governance frameworks. Over 60% of respondents agreed that active participation improves environmental quality and reduces conflict, with nearly 70% reporting direct involvement in conflict resolution. For instance, community-led reforestation in Sabung Village restored biodiversity and strengthened social cohesion, while waterway cleanups in Mukti Raharja Village reduced pollution and eased tensions with plantation companies. These examples highlight how grassroots initiatives can foster both ecological restoration and social harmony. This study’s novelty lies in its focus on community driven environmental practices as dual strategies for ecological management and peacebuilding in palm oil-producing regions. The results suggest the need for participatory approaches, where companies collaborate with communities to promote sustainable practices, prevent environmental degradation, and ensure long-term social stability
Unintended Effects of Forestry Fiscal Transfers on Deforestation in Indonesia
Full text linkSumber emisi terbesar (63 persen) di Indonesia berasal dari aktivitas penggunaan lahan serta kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Deforestasi dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, seperti pertumbuhan penduduk, kebakaran hutan, perluasan lahan pertanian, pertanian, kekeringan, penebangan kayu, dan kurangnya perhatian pemerintah. Sebagai bagian dari upaya menekan deforestasi, Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengalokasikan beberapa jenis pendanaan untuk industri kehutanan. Namun, terdapat perbedaan pendapat mengenai pendanaan yang paling efektif dan kesulitan pelaksanaannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak transfer fiskal sektor kehutanan terhadap deforestasi menggunakan Spatial Autoregressive di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transfer fiskal sektor kehutanan yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap deforestasi di Indonesia adalah Dana Bagi Hasil Hutan dengan nilai koefisien positif. Faktor lain yang signifikan mempengaruhi deforestasi di Indonesia adalah Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah Bidang Lingkungan Hidup, jumlah penduduk, Produk Domestik Regional Bruto sektor pertambangan, luas lahan perkebunan, dan pendapatan per kapita. Temuan penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa transfer fiskal berkontribusi terhadap deforestasi, menyimpang dari tujuan transfer fiskal, yaitu untuk memitigasi laju deforestasi.The largest source of emissions (63%) in Indonesia comes from land use activities as well as forest and land fires. Deforestation is affected by several factors, such as population growth, forest fires, expansion of agricultural land, farming, drought, timber harvesting, and the lack of government attention. As part of its efforts to suppress deforestation, the Indonesian Government has allocated several types of funding for the forestry industry. However, there are disagreements over the most effective funding and implementation difficulties. This research aims to analyze the impact of forestry fiscal transfer on deforestation using spatial autoregressive in Indonesia. The results show that the forestry significantly affects deforestation in Indonesia is Forest Revenue-Sharing Fund with a positive coefficient value (0.65). Other factors that significantly affect deforestation in Indonesia are the Regional Budget for Environment (0.77), population size (–2.21), Gross Regional Domestic Product in the mining sector (0.83), area (0.99), and income per capita (–2.39). The research findings conclude that forestry fiscal transfers contribute to deforestation, instead of mitigatingdeforestation. The Central Government should refine ecological fiscal transfer (EFT) schemes by adopting innovative, performance-based models and collaborating with Regional Governments to implement detail-earmarked budgeting, ensuring alignment with conservation goals.

Short-term movements of the Pig-Nosed Turtle (Carrettochelys insculpta) in the Kao River, South Papua, Indonesia
Full text linkUnderstanding animal movement is essential for assessing species\u27 ecological needs and informing effective conservation strategies. This study investigates the short-term daily movement and home range of the Endangered (EN) pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) in the Kao River, Boven Digoel District, South Papua, Indonesia. Native to Papua New Guinea, Northern Australia, and Southern Papua, this freshwater turtle faces heavy egg harvesting pressure. Using low-cost GPS tracking devices, we monitored six adult individuals (one male and five females) over a three-day period during November–December 2023. The results indicated that the daily movements of C. insculpta ranged from 84.95 to 648.77 m. Average home range estimates were 18.03 ha (minimum convex polygon), 7.51 ha (50% kernel density), and 12.44 ha (95% kernel density). The movement overlaps among the four turtles totaled 30.64 ha, with an average overlap of 6.12 ha. The hotspot analysis identified 76.16 ha as key movement areas, revealing that the pig-nosed turtles tend to stay near sandbanks, primary dryland forest, secondary dryland forest, and shrublands. Our studyprovides important baseline ecological data that can be used to inform future conservation and recovery programs. Elaboration between stakeholders and the local community can be carried out to protect the species
Effect of Irrigating Cooler Water (ICWr) on The Canopy Temperature of Japonica Rice Cultivars Himenorin and Nikomaru
Full text linkThe canopy temperature of rice is a critical concern due to rising air temperatures and the increasing risk of heat damage. In this study, we investigated the canopy temperature difference (CTd) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) in the Japonica rice cultivars ‘Himenorin’ (HR) and ‘Nikomaru’ (NM). Additionally, we examined the effect of irrigating cooler water (ICWr) on canopy temperature, particularly its impact on CTD reduction, compared to a control plot. The results showed that CTd in HR was lower than in NM. Furthermore, CTD reached 2.23 °C in HR and 2.35 °C in NM under shallower ponding conditions. ICWr effectively reduced the canopy temperature in both cultivars and decreased CTD to a negative value. These findings highlight that ICWr can mitigate canopy temperature increases under more intense solar radiation and high air temperatures. Therefore, implementing ICWr in rice fields may serve as a potential countermeasure to reduce heat damage in rice by lowering canopy temperature. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and enhance strategies for mitigating heat exposure, ensuring rice resilience and sustainability in a changing climate
Household Food Waste Management in Rural Communities: A Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Study
Full text linkHouseholds are the largest contributors to food waste in Indonesia. Rural communities often lack effective waste management infrastructure, making it essential to promote low-cost, sustainable alternatives like maggot cultivation to reduce organic waste and support local agriculture. A questionnaire survey of 114 householders was performed on Kertajaga residents to assess their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards food waste management, including refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and participation in the organic waste bank. The study analyzes the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice. The study also covered the relationship between sociodemographic variables and KAP towards household food waste management. The respondents were divided into two categories: waste bank customers and non-customers, whose differences in KAP levels were also assessed in this research. There is a significant difference between customer and non-customer knowledge, but it is not found in attitude and practice. The main finding of this study is that knowledge of food waste management in rural households is generally good and significantly influenced by socialization activities, while attitudes and practices remain moderate with varied associations to sociodemographic factors. A study regarding the content and forms of waste management socialization that are suitable and acceptable for low-income rural communities needs to be carried out to increase the effectiveness of household food waste management in rural areas
