Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSoil Hydraulic Conductivity and Soil Water Retention of Inland Peat on Various Land Covers (Case Study: Natural Peat and Burnt Peat)Fengky Florante Adji et al.This research aims to examine differences in the rate of saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (permeability) and unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity (infiltration) and soil water retention with various pressures in peatland with different land covers. The study was conducted from June to October 2021. The research was conducted at the LAHG-Sebangau and at the KHDTK-Tumbang Nusa, central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Based on … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 19 May 2023 · 6,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDF Cite
