Abstract
Strychnos lucida R.Br. is a medicinal plant believed to treat various diseases. The study aimed to identify the phytochemical compounds, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant, and antibacterial activity of the root, seed, stem, and leaf of S. lucida. Antioxidant activity was examined using the DPPH method in the methanol extract. The extract of four parts of S. lucida was tested against three bacteria (Bacillus subtilis Inacc-B334, Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of deforestation and climate change on water flow regulation within the mixed-deciduous-forest-dominated Upper Nan Watershed in Northern Thailand. Using the SWAT model, hydrological changes were analyzed under 16 land-use scenarios and CMIP5 climate projections (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) for both historic (1980–2020) and future (2021–2080) periods. Findings reveal that increasing rainfall variability under RCP8.5 amplifies hydrological
Abstract
Coffee is commonly cultivated under agroforestry systems, including dry-field and homegarden. These systems were differentiated based on their proximity to the settlements, which might influence the species composition. This study aimed to observe plant composition, diversity, vegetation structure, and microclimate in coffee agroforestry systems and the physiological conditions of coffee. The experimental design was based on purposive sampling. A total of 100
Abstract
The wide areas of critical land in Indonesia are attracting a high level of attention due to the significant influence of global warming. Addressing this issue requires several priority efforts, such as critical land rehabilitation programs. The level of critical land rehabilitation can be evaluated with remote sensing technology. Therefore, this research aimed to assess critical land in South Sulawesi rehabilitated by PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (PT VI) as compensation
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
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
