Abstract
Serious problems have occurred on Falcataria moluccana plantations because of gall rust disease caused byUromycladium tepperianum. The disease inhibits tree growth, reduces wood quality, and can cause tree mortality. Thepresence of galls is a notable symptom of this disease. The study aimed to investigate the anatomy of the galls andthe changes in wood anatomical characteristics of F. moluccana due to the infection of U. tepperianum. Wood blockscontaining outer
Abstract
The Mutis-Timau Forest Complex, located on Timor Island, Indonesia, is a mountainous tropical forest area that gradually decreases due to deforestation and forest degradation. Previous modelling studies based on patterns indicate that deforestation primarily occurs at lower elevations and near the boundaries of forests and settlements, often associated with shifting cultivation by local farmers. This study adopts a process-based modelling approach, specifically
<strong>Abstract</strong>
Long-term assessment using historical satellite imagery is critical for gaining meta-informationand identifying trends in land cover change. informed policymaking about this assessmentensures forest sustainability and mitigates climate change to consider the identified trends inland cover changes and historical disturbances. therefore, this study aimed to describe thetrend of land cover change and historical disturbances in Mutis timau Nature Reserve
Abstract
The Katingan-Kahayan Corridor is currently one of the remaining habitats for Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii in Central Kalimantan, likely to be managed as an Essential Ecosystem Area. This area faces a high risk of deforestation in the future, as it is located outside protected or conservation zones. This study aims to project future deforestation in the Katingan-Kahayan Corridor from 2019 to 2050 and model its impact on orangutan habitat under two scenarios: (1) Business-as-Usual
Abstract
This study investigated the thermal behavior and crystallinity of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) under heat treatment using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that heat treatment reduced the crystallinity and thermal stability of MCC at a certain point, and that the changes in the chemical components and structure of MCC were correlated with the heat flow measured by DSC. The analysis was performed

Abstract
Soil and water conservation is one of the keys to preserving natural resources. Livestock development can optimize the use of grass for soil and water conservation. However, livestock manure waste is a problem for the environment and health. This study aimed to explore the role of biogas technology in supporting the strengthening of soil and water conservation in the Merawu Subwatershed. Through a community empowerment approach, this research included educational
Abstract
Indonesia has extensively reforested mangroves to stabilize coastal ecosystems and mitigate climate change. Reforestation’s long-term effects on recovering mangroves are not extensively established because most projects are only observed for two years. It raises the question of whether mangrove replanting aids biodiversity conservation and ecological recovery. This project will characterize Flores Island mangrove ecosystems after ten years of regeneration.
Abstract
Pemanfaatan jenis kayu cepat tumbuh perlu ditingkatkan untuk mendukung kelanjutan industri perkayuan di Indonesia. Jabon (Neolamarckia cadamba Miq.) adalah salah satu jenis kayu cepat tumbuh yang banyak ditanam di hutan rakyat Pulau Jawa pada beberapa tahun terakhir, termasuk di Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi terkait kualitas kayu jabon di hutan rakyat, berdasarkan dimensi serat, sifat fisika dan mekanikanya. Variasi aksial
