    Acacia mangium Willd. and Acacia aulacocarpa A. Cum. Ex. Benth are among the two important Acacias planted in Malaysia and both species exhibited multiple-leader (ML). ML is the formation of more than one stems from the base of planted trees which affect the productivity of the stands if they are to be used for timber production. With more volume of wood per tree basis, ML trees were considered as an advantage for pulp and paper industry. However, its productivity and wood quality are still being questionable to the industry. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance after seven years, aboveground biomass (AGB), specific gravity of wood (SGwd) and photosynthetic efficiency of ML trees of these species. Growth performance of seven-year old trees was based on diameter at breast height (Dbh) and height. Then, biomass was estimated fiom a total of 72 trees (2 species x 4 provenances x 3 Dbh classes x 3 replicates. Specific gravity of wood (SGwmd) was then estimated using similar Dbh groupings and also based on three levels of height. In addition, gas exchange was also estimated using similar Dbh groupings between ML and single stemmed trees to establish the light response curve to estimate their maximum rate of photosynthesis (A,,) and quantum yield (@). The growth performance at 7 year-old indicated significant differences at P10.05 between species and provenances with regards to Dbh and height. A. mangium outperformed A. aulacocarpa for both attributes. On the other hand, trees of A. aulacocarpa from PNG provenances performed better than the ones from QLD. There were also significant differences at P10.05 between provenance in terms of stem and total biomass and; between Dbh, dl parameters of AGB of A. mangium. A. mangium fiom SW of Boset WP (PNG) recorded the highest mean of AGB i400.19 kg) and Russel & Gap CK (QLD) recorded the least (202.68 kg). On the other hand, A. aulacocarpa showed significant differences between provenances and Dbh classes for all parameters measured with provenance from Arufi E. Morehaed WP (PNG) gave the highest total AGB (219.72 kg) and provenance from 3K S Mt Larcom, QLD recorded the least (34.12 kg). A. mangium was better than A. aulacocarpa in terms of biomass production. In addition, eight regression equations to estimate aboveground biomass and revealed that Dbh is the main factor affecting the production of the different provenances. Generally, SGwWd of A. aulacocarpa was higher than the ones produced by A. mangium especially from lower part of trees. There was also significant difference between height levels with regards to provenance and Dbh classes. Generally, the order of SGwmd production for both species is bottom> middle> top. Moreover, there was no significant difference at P10.05 between provenances, growth habits (ML and SS), Dbh classes and their interaction in terms of A,,. Similar statistical analyses were also obtained for quantum yield except for between provenances of A. mangium. Based on composite ranking of all attributes revealed that A. mangium from SW of Boset (PNG), Captain Billy Road (QLD) and Bensbach WP (PNG) and A. aulacocarpa from Arufi E. Morehaed WP (PNG) and W. Morehead (PNG) showed relatively good performance and indicated their suitability and robustness to local environment. The results also revealed that growth performance was positively correlated with AGB but not for SGwmd, A,, and quantum yield between species and provenances. Thus, the above potential provenances should be considered in breeding programme of Acacia species for the purpose of high yield productivity

    Community organizations are a means to channel opinions and thoughts for community members, and have a very important role in increasing active community participation in order to realize a life of society, nation, and state that is relevant to a society that is, devout, intelligent, just and prosperous. In the form of today's community order that is no longer "strict" in the pattern of hierarchical relations, among others, by strengthening the autonomy of government management, strengthening community independence. In practice in the field, there is the same name of the CSO, namely (Forkabi) whose dispute is resolved by the Jakarta PTUN Number: 168 / G / 2021 / PTUN. JKT. The research method used is the normative juridical method, which is research that prioritizes literature data, namely research on secondary data. The secondary data can be primary, secondary or tertiary legal material. This research includes research on positive legal provisions in force in Indonesia relating to dispute resolution using the same community organization name. Based on the results of the study, the author concludes that the dispute resolution mechanism for using the same name of CSOs is through the Court, in this case the State Administrative Court which is authorized to resolve disputes over the use of the name of the legal entity of the association where there are similarities in essence between one association and another, to ascertain whether there are similarities in the name of one association with the name of another association. What is meant by "similarity in essence" is the similarity caused by the presence of dominant elements between one Brand and another Brand so as to give the impression of similarity, both regarding the form, way of placement, way of writing or combination between elements, as well as the similarity of speech sounds, contained in the Brand

    Protecting biodiversity outside natural forests: environmental-friendly oil palm plantations as an off-reserve strategy in Peninsular Malaysia

    Get PDF
    Malaysian palm oil industry has been associated with tropical deforestation and faunal biodiversity loss. Despite the numerous forest reserves and protected areas, biodiversity conservation should be extended into agricultural areas including commercial oil palm. Scientific studies have clearly demonstrated that oil palm monocultures are poor substitute to natural forests. However, those studies have also indicated that oil palm-dominated landscapes support substantial biodiversity including forest species. With respect to ecological services, some species are known to be important in controlling pest outbreaks in oil palm plantations. Previous studies have shown that oil palm cultivations are effective carbon sinks. The central remaining knowledge gap of how palm oil-producing countries should conserve biodiversity within the existing oil palm plantations and smallholdings is addressed in this study. Thus, thematic review process that was organized around a topic of interest was used. In more specific, 53 journal articles investigating or highlighting the impacts of commodity crops cultivation on biodiversity were reviewed. It was proposed that oil palm-dominated landscapes be managed for conservation outcomes similar to that have been implemented in forest reserves and protected areas
