Abstract
Tropical peatlands storing ∼18–25 % of global peat volume contribute significantly to the global carbon cycle. To balance preservation and protection of tropical peatlands requires assessment of their ecohydrological conditions and continuous monitoring through seasons. This is challenging to achieve using in situ sampling, but there is a great promise to use C-band Sentinel-1 data for this due to its weather-independence, and particularly its increased read more

Abstract
Large-scale disturbance in peatland areas causes many wildlife species to suffer due to limited resources or habitat loss. Following the high attention to peatlands, some restoration efforts, such as canal blocking, have been undertaken to restore the hydrological condition of peatlands. Nonetheless, our understanding of peatland biodiversity post-canal blocking is still limited. Thus, we conducted a study in West Kalimantan to assess wildlife diversity in read more

Abstract
The performance of wood binders in particleboard is diminished by both expiration and improper storage. Those effects on citric acid powder, which is one of potential natural adhesives of particleboard for the future, is still unknown. This research investigated the effect of duration length of citric acid past the expiration and its storage conditions on the properties of Salacca frond particleboard. The effect of its binder content and pressing temperature read more

Abstract
In the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, the dipterocarp species stands out as the most significant tree group in terms of ecosystem stability and forestry management. Shorea macrophylla, found on Borneo Island, is particularly noteworthy for its rapid growth, high oil content nut production, and versatile timber characteristics, making it a prime candidate for plantation material in rehabilitating degraded forests. We collected population samples of S. macrophylla read more

Abstract
Social forestry is one of the Indonesian government’s programs to reduce deforestation and improve community welfare. After a decade, it is not yet known how the dynamics of land management related to the level of disturbance and recovery before and after the permit in the Tuar Tana Community Forest (HKm Tuar Tana) area in East Nusa Tenggara Province. This study aims to investigate the dynamics of land management by monitoring the level of disturbance and read more

Abstract
Mangrove forests play an important role in climate change mitigation and have attracted significant attention from scholars, governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations. Therefore, this study aims to (1) describe land cover changes caused by rehabilitation activities and (2) investigate the dominant factors affecting mangrove improvement through rehabilitation activities. Land cover changes were monitored using Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, read more

Abstract
The increased demand for lightweight wood products requires genetic improvements in the growth, wood properties, and stress tolerance of fast-growing timber species. Falcataria falcata (Leguminosae) is one of the fastest-growing trees worldwide and an important multipurpose plantation species. This species is distributed across various geological locations in Southeastern Asia and Melanesia; therefore, populations from different regions may show phenotypic read more

Abstract
Global warming, a critical component of climate change, refers to an increase in average temperatures across the atmosphere, oceans, and land. Global warming is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases. As an archipelagic nation, Indonesia plays a critical role in mitigating climate change, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution. The Indonesian government announced the B40 policy, requiring a 40% palm oil blend with 60% diesel, read more

Abstract
Urbanisation alters ecological processes and reshapes biodiversity patterns, with significant implications for bird communities. This study examined avian community structure across an urban gradient in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia, by integrating field surveys with remotely sensed environmental variables. Bird species richness and composition were assessed at 300 observation points stratified by urbanisation class. Environmental predictors, including read more

Abstract
Acacia aulacocarpa A.Cunn. ex Benth is considered a potential source of fiber for the pulping and paper-making industries. This study aimed to evaluate the properties of Acacia aulacocarpa kraft pulp in relation to the presence of extractive. A separate assessment was conducted on the chemical composition and pulp properties of the sapwood and heartwood. Extractive removal was achieved with various organic solvents including n-hexane, ethanol, and hot water read more
