Abstract
To evaluate the inheritance of natural durability of Acacia mangium Willd., wood-color parameters (Y [lightness], x [red to green], and y [yellow to blue]), mass loss by a white-rot fungus (Trametes versicolor) and brown-rot fungus (Fomitopsis palustris), and three different extracts (methanol extract, total phenol, and total flavanol content) were measured using the inner and outer heartwood of 10-year-old trees from 20 half-sib families in the third-generation read more

Abstract
Despite its considerable potential, oil palm trunk (OPT) remains underutilized, largely owing to the cyclical replanting process that occurs every 25–30 years. This study aimed to address this issue by developing an ecofriendly oriented strand board (OSB) using vascular bundles (VBs) from oil palm, both in binderless form and with the incorporation of natural adhesives made from sucrose and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP). The VB was extracted read more

Abstract
Increasing food demand and climate change-induced natural disasters pose significant challenges to food security. This study examines how forest conservation can mitigate disaster risks to agricultural land in Northern Thailand’s watershed. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Hydrologic Engineering Center’s-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) models were used to assess flood impacts, while the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index read more

Abstract
Even before Indonesia’s independence, its leaders had drafted plans to relocate the capital city. Proponents gave various reasons at different times, but with Jakarta’s stifling traffic and perennial flooding, the government is now translating visions of relocation into action. Construction of the new capital, Nusantara, is already underway in East Kalimantan province. Nusantara is an ambitious and symbolic nation-building project that positions Indonesia read more

Abstract
Manfaat keberadaan hutan belum sepenuhnya dapat dirasakan oleh masyarakat karena deforestasi. Perhutanan sosial merupakan salah satu kebijakan dalam mengatasi problem tersebut. Dalam pelaksanan program perhutanan sosial, peran gender menjadi penting. Hal ini juga sejalan dengan Tujuan SDGs ke 5 menyebutkan adanya Kesetaraan Gender. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peran gender dalam pengelolaan kawasan hutan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kelompok read more

Abstract
Microsatellite DNA markers are known to have a high level of genetic diversity and can be used for various purposes. These include population genetic analysis, gene flow assessment, pollen distribution, parent analysis, and accurate distinction between types and varieties. Despite the potential application of microsatellite markers, their development process often requires high costs, energy, and time. To overcome the limitations, several studies have proposed read more

Abstract
Two first-generation progeny trials of Ficus variegata Blume were planted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, consisting of 17 families from the provenances of West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) and 19 families from the provenances of Cilacap-Pangandaran (C-P), respectively. The trials were evaluated after 10 years for growth characteristics [diameter (D), tree height (H) and stem volume (V)] and wood properties [stress-wave velocity (SWV) and Pilodyn penetration (P)]. Genetic read more

Abstract
Shoot waste refers to the parts of trees that are not yet optimally utilized. In this study, we aimed to utilize shoot waste of fast-growing teak (FGT) extracted from the community forest in Wonosari, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia by converting it into charcoal, followed by further conversion into activated carbon. This study was conducted with two treatment factors of the activation process, including thermal treatment (750°C, 850°C, read more

Abstract
Teak tree breeding programs have been conducted over the last several decades in various locations throughout Indonesia. These programs have produced superior teak clones with growth increments > 3 cm diameter at breast height. The wood quality of this clonal teak must be evaluated to determine the final use of these trees and the success rate of the teak breeding programs. In this study we investigated the physical condition (reflected in wood color and read more

Abstract
Gunung Merapi National Park (GMNP) is an inseparable conservation area from the surrounding community, as the buffer village community has used its existing forest resources. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the forest resources used by the buffer village community and assess the economic benefit value generated by GMNP. The economic benefits evaluation adopted the direct use value approach and market prices. The results showed that the community read more
