    Previous studies have shown that carbon (C) mineralization in saline or sodic soils is affected by various factors including organic C content, salt concentration and water content in saline soils and soil structure in sodic soils, but there is little information about which soil properties control carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from saline-sodic soils. In this study, eight field-collected saline–sodic soils, varying in electrical conductivity (ECe, a measure of salinity, ranging from 3 to 262 dS m−1) and sodium adsorption ratio (SARe, a measure of sodicity, ranging from 11 to 62), were left unamended or amended with mature wheat or vetch residues (2% w/w). Carbon dioxide release was measured over 42 days at constant temperature and soil water content. Cumulative respiration expressed per gram SOC increased in the following order: unamended soil<soil amended with wheat residues (C/N ratio 122)<soil with vetch residue (C/N ratio 18). Cumulative respiration was significantly (p < 0.05) negatively correlated with ECe but not with SARe. Our results show that the response to ECe and SARe of the microbial community activated by addition of organic C does not differ from that of the less active microbial community in unamended soils and that salinity is the main influential factor for C mineralization in saline–sodic soils.Raj Setia, Deepika Setia, Petra Marschne

    Potential soil P mobilisation capacity-method development and comparison of rhizosphere soil from different crops

    BACKGROUND: Phosphorus (P) deficiency is wide-spread in agricultural soils. In light of increasing P fertilizer costs, it is of interest to assess the capacity of soil microbes to mobilise native soil P and added P. There is currently no method to assess P mobilisation in situ. METHODS: The soil P mobilisation potential was assessed by incubating low P soil for up to 30 days with poorly available P sources; C and N were added to increase microbial activity and ensure that only P was limiting microbial growth. RESULTS: The increase in microbial P from day 0 to day 15 showed that microbes were able to mobilise P from FePO4 and phytate. The P mobilisation potential(sum of microbial and resin P) of the rhizosphere soil decreased in the following order: faba bean > chickpea and white lupin > wheat. After 10 days, up to 80% of the mobilised P was microbial P, whereas after 30 days, almost all P mobilised was resin P. CONCLUSIONS: The method developed in this study is useful assessing not only potential of a soil to mobilise P but also, by using different poorly available P sources, the mechanisms of P mobilisation.Ying Wang, Hasbullah, Raj Setia, Petra Marschner and Fusuo Zhan

    The development of tourism in Indonesia is lagging behind compared to some of our neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, despite the fact that Indonesia has many tourist attractions and culture that differ from his province. The World Economic Forum in 2009 put Indonesia in the position to 81, well below Singapore in position 10. By looking at the problem above, researcher wishes to conduct research to find out if there is an influence to the 14 tourism competitiveness criteria issued by the World Tourism Forum in 2009 as an independent variable, against the target of Indonesia tourism marketing as the dependent variable (to increase the number of tourists, the old residence, and tourist expenditures). In this study the authors used a questionnaire to obtain data from foreign tourists who visited Jakarta, especially foreign tourists who stay at Jalan Jaksa (Jaksa Street of Central Jakarta) from September to December 2009. The number of respondents as many as 150 people using the method of accidental sample. To test the validity of the use factor analysis. To analyze the data the author uses regression analysis of the F test, t test and coefficient of determination . The results of the analysis show that simultaneously there is a significant influence among the 14 criteria of competitiveness of tourism as an independent variable (X) with the objective of tourism marketing as the dependent variable (Y) and H1 accepted. T test value of each variable X shows that the variable X6 (air transport infrastructure) has positive influence to variable Y and H6 accepted. T test value for the variable X12 (tourist attraction) a positive effect on variable Y and H12 received. The findings above are very useful for decision makers in tourism in order to prioritize the development of tourism. Keyword : component: Number of Tourist, Tourist Night, Tourist Expenditur

    Background and aims: The effects of drying and rewetting (DRW) have been studied extensively in non-saline soils, but little is known about the impact of DRW in saline soils. An incubation experiment was conducted to determine the impact of 1–3 drying and re-wetting events on soil microbial activity and community composition at different levels of electrical conductivity in the saturated soil extract (ECe) (ECe 0.7, 9.3, 17.6 dS m−1). Methods: A non-saline sandy loam was amended with NaCl to achieve the three EC levels 21 days prior to the first DRW; wheat straw was added 7 days prior to the first DRW. Each DRW event consisted of 1 week drying and 1 week moist (50% of water holding capacity, WHC). After the last DRW, the soils were maintained moist until the end of the incubation period (63 days after addition of the wheat straw). A control was kept moist (50% of WHC) throughout the incubation period. Results: Respiration rates on the day after rewetting were similar after the first and the second DRW, but significantly lower after the third DRW. After the first and second DRW, respiration rates were lower at EC17.6 compared to the lower EC levels, whereas salinity had little effect on respiration rates after the third DRW or at the end of the experiment when respiration rates were low. Compared to the continuously moist treatment, respiration rates were about 50% higher on day 15 (d15) and d29. On d44, respiration rates were about 50% higher at EC9.7 than at the other two EC levels. Cumulative respiration was increased by DRW only in the treatment with one DRW and only at the two lower EC levels. Salinity affected microbial biomass and community composition in the moist soils but not in the DRW treatments. At all EC levels and all sampling dates, the community composition in the continuously moist treatment differed from that in the DRW treatments, but there were no differences among the DRW treatments. Conclusions: Microbes in moderately saline soils may be able to utilise substrates released after multiple DRW events better than microbes in non-saline soil. However, at high EC (EC17.6), the low osmotic potential reduced microbial activity to such an extent that the microbes were not able to utilise substrate released after rewetting of dry soil.Nasrin Chowdhury, Andre S.

    Salt-affected soils are widespread, particularly in arid climates, but information on nutrient dynamics and carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from salt-affected soils is scarce. Four laboratory incubation experiments were conducted with three soils. To determine the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on respiration in saline and non-saline soils, a loamy sand (6.3% clay) was left unamended or amended with NaCl to obtain an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.0 dS m⁻¹ in a 1:5 soil/water extract. Powdered CaCO3 at rates of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% (w/w) and 0.25-2 mm mature wheat residue at 0% and 2% (w/w) were then added. Cumulative CO2-C emission from the salt amended and unamended soils was not affected by CaCO3 addition. To investigate the effect of EC on microbial activity, soil respiration was measured after amending a sandy loam (18.8% clay) and a silt loam (22.5% clay) with varying amount of NaCl to obtain an EC1:5 of 1.0–8.0 dS m⁻¹ and 2.5 g glucose C kg⁻¹ soil. Soil respiration was reduced by more than 50% at EC1:5 ≥ 5.0 dS m−1. In a further experiment, salinity up to an EC1:5 of 5.0 dS m⁻¹ was developed in the silt loam with NaCl or CaCl2. No differences in respiration at a given EC were obtained between the two salts, indicating that Na and Ca did not differ in toxicity to microbial activity. The effect of different addition rates (0.25–2.0%) of mature wheat residue on the response of respiration to salinity was investigated by adding NaCl to the silt loam to obtain an EC1:5 of 2.0 and 4.0 dS m⁻¹. The clearest difference between salinity levels was with 2% residue rate. At a given salinity level, the modelled decomposition constant ‘k’ increased with increasing residue addition rate up to 1% and then remained constant. Particulate organic carbon left after decomposition from the added wheat residues was negatively correlated with cumulative respiration but positively correlated with EC. Inorganic N (NH4⁺-N and NO3⁻-N) and resin P significantly decreased with increasing salinity. Resin P was significantly decreased by addition of CaCl2 and CaCO3.Raj Setia, Petra Marschner, Jeff Baldock and David Chittleboroug

    Community composition and activity of microbes from saline soils and non-saline soils respond similarly to changes in salinity

    Saline soils are wide-spread and characterised by poor plant growth and low microbial activity but salinity fluctuates seasonally or with irrigation water quality. Therefore it is important to understand the response of soil microbial communities to changes in soil salinity. We carried out an experiment to test the hypothesis that microbial communities from soils with medium to high salinity respond differently to salinity than microbes from non-saline soils or soils with low salinity. We prepared a microbial inoculum from field soils of different salinity (EC1:5 0.3, 1.1, 2.7, 4.6 and 6.0dSm−1). This inoculum was added to quartz sand adjusted to EC1:5 0.3, 1.1, 2.9, 4.6, 6.0 and 8.0dSm−1 and amended with finely ground wheat straw and basal nutrients. The sand mix was incubated at 80% water holding capacity for 27 days. Soil respiration was measured continuously, microbial community composition (based on phospholipid fatty acid analysis) and particulate organic carbon (POC) were determined at the start and the end of the incubation. Irrespective of inoculum EC, cumulative respiration decreased with increasing adjusted EC with no differences among inocula. The POC concentration was always lowest at adjusted EC 0.3 and highest at EC 8.0. Up to adjusted EC 4.6, the POC concentration was lower with inoculum EC 0.3 than with the inocula of higher EC. The inocula had distinct microbial community composition at all adjusted ECs, but the changes induced by the adjusted EC were similar in all inocula. The results are contrast to our hypothesis because increasing salinity decreased soil respiration of all inocula to a similar extent. In fact, the lower POC concentration with inoculum from the non-saline soil up to an adjusted EC of 4.6 suggests that the microbial communities from the non-saline soil are able to decompose the added wheat straw under low to moderate salinity to a greater extent than those from saline soils. On the other hand, even microbes from highly saline soils can respond quickly with an increase in activity if the salinity is reduced, e.g. after heavy rainfall which leaches the salts out of the top soil.Hafiz Naeem Asghar, Raj Setia, Petra Marschne

    Nilai – Nilai Pendidikan Pada Peristiwa Isra Mi’raj

    No full text
    untuk mengikuti proses pendidkan yang sedang dijalankan Sesungguhnya peringatan dalam Islam merupakan impian iman yang mengokohkan jiwa yang lemah, menghidupkan kalbu yang mati dan membangkitkan cita-cita yang layu. Karena kenangan Islam berisikan dakwah berikut fase, berbagai peristiwa, sikap dan pelajaran yang dipetik darinya. Hal ini sebagaimana yang difirmankan Allah Azza wa jalla dalam alquran surat ad-Dzariyat ayat 55. ÙˆÙŽØ°ÙŽÙƒÙ‘ÙØ±Ù’ ÙÙŽØ¥Ùنَّ الذّÙكْرَى تَنْÙÙŽØ¹Ù Ø§Ù„Ù’Ù…ÙØ¤Ù’Ù…ÙÙ†Ùينَ Bermakna; “Dan tetaplah memberi peringatan, karena sesungguhnya peringatan itu bermanfaat bagi orang-orang berimanâ€. Umat yang mengingat tarikhnya, umat yang mengenang aneka peristiwa yang dialaminya dan memetik pelajaran darinya adalah umat yang patut hidup mulia. Mengenang berbagai peristiwa dibolehkan dalam Islam, dalam alquran banyak sekali kalimat yang menyatakan peringatan seperti: “Maka ingatlahâ€, “Ingat dan kenanglahâ€, “Tiadakah kalian ingat?â€. Rasulullah SAW. pun memperingati hari lahirnya dengan membiasakan shaum sunnah setiap pekan. Dari hasil kajian, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa isi kandungan dalam peristiwa Isra Mi’raj terbagi menjadi tiga bagian penting; pertama pendidikan politik, yaitu terjadinya pergantian pemimpin peradaban antara Bani Isra’il yang sudah tidak cocok dan tidak sepatutnya bagi mereka. Hal ini dikarenakan hilangnya sifat-sifat kemanusian pada diri mereka dan tidak adanya keimanan yang mereka miliki, kepada pemimpin baru yaitu Muhammad (Kaum Muslimin). Pendidikan politik ini bertujuan untuk menyiapkan dan membentuk karakter calon-calon pemimpin yang memiliki nilai-nilai Islam, dengan terbentuknya calon-calon pemimpin seperti ini maka akan memudahkan tercapai dan tegaknya Syari’at Islam, sebaliknya tanpa adanya kepemimpinan yang berasaskan nilai-nilai Islam tidak akan pernah terjadi kesejahteraan dibumi ini. Kedua pendidikan sosial sebagi sarana untuk menciptakan keharmonisan antar individu dalam bergaul dan berbaur dengan masyarakat yang luas dan fleksibel. Ketiga adalah pendidikan spiritual, yang bertujuan untuk memperkokoh hubungan seorang hamba dengan sang Maha Pencipta nilai-nilai ini dapat tercipta dengan media shalat yang merupakan oleh-oleh yang dibawa Rasulullah SAW pada peristiwa Isra Mi’raj. Semua kandungan yang disebutkan merupakan merupakan nilai yang sangat penting bahkan bisa menjadi program unggulan yang ditawarkan dalam dunia pendidikan. Sehingga dalam pembinaan dan pendidikan tersebut akan lahir peseta didik yang paripurna dalam berbagai dimensi
