To reduce the severity of the degradation the area should be rehabilitated by applying soil and water conservation techniques. The techniques used were the vegetative methods (culture), and a combination of it with mechanical/technical methods. The combination method is expected to be more effective in controlling runoff, erosion and nutrient losses. One important parameter is the efficiency of the distance of the vertical mulch channel, which affects the application cost. This study was aimed to determine the effect of different distances of vertical mulch channels on the plant growth and annual crop yield as well as its effectiveness in controlling runoff, erosion and nutrient losses. The research was conducted in Carita Research Forest from 2005 to 2008, using the randomized block design. Treatments applied were: vertical mulch with six and twelve meter distances of plots of khaya (C.Dc.) and corn (L.) cropping system. Observations included height and diameter growth of khaya, runoff and erosion, and cost per ha. The results showed that six meter of vertical mulch was the most efficient distance. The height and diameter of khaya tree increased by 7% and 31% in six meter distance compared to the control. Moreover, runoff and erosion was reduced by 75% and 37%, and nutrient losses could be trimmed down by three to five times. In addition, six meters distance could also produce corn of 712 kg/ha/year, which was 73% greater than corn production without vertical mulch. On the other hand, the cropping system with six meter distance of vertical mulch required Rp 3,250,000,-per ha, which was Rp 250,000,-more expensive than that without vertical mulch.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the regulatory, institutional, and policy aspects of forest restoration in Indonesia, as well as the implementation of forest restoration activities in the country. The article was written using a synoptic review approach to Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR)-related articles and national experiences. Failures, success stories, and criteria and indicators for forest restoration success are all discussed. We also discuss the latest silvicultural techniques for the success of the forest restoration program. Restoration governance in Indonesia has focused on the wetland ecosystem such as peatlands and mangroves, but due to the severely degraded condition of many forests, the government has by necessity opted for active restoration involving the planting and establishment of livelihood options. The government has adapted its restoration approach from the early focus on ecological restoration to more forest landscape restoration, which recognizes that involving the local community in restoration activities is critical for the success of forest restoration.

Due to the surface mining which has been generally adopted in mining system in Indonesia, soil surface and landscape mostly damaged flora and fauna habitat mostly changed, landscape stability and hidrology system altered. When post-mining site is not managed properly, the on site and off site mining area will be affected. This happened in copper mining, as in Bangka, the post-mining site has left tailing areas in form of quartzitic sands and overburden compounds. The fertility level of the post-copper mining in the tailing area was generally very low. Post-copper mining sites generally have high level of quartzitic sands, therefore the poor soil fertility due to low buffer capacity for nutrients. The purpose of this research was to collect data and information about quartzitic sands tailing usage as plant medium in nursery, specifically the effective dosage to support the growth of Eucalyptus urophylla and Anthocephalus cadamba in nursery. The research was carried out at PT. Kobatin-Central Bangka in 2010 to study the addition of fertilizer and fixing substances in various concentration to media for E. urophylla and A. cadamba. The results indicated that the plants planted on media containing 20% organic matter, 20% top soil, 5% lime, 1% NPK (fertilizer), and 54% post-copper mining tailing (quartzitic sands) showed enhance both tree species seedlings well growth.

In 1984, the Government of Indonesia established 22 priority watersheds to be handled, which marked the start of formal soil and water conservation activities. Although it has not fully succeeded in improving watershed conditions from all aspects, something which is indicated by fluctuations in the area of degraded land, over the past 40 years the Indonesian government has systematically implemented various soil and water conservation techniques in various areas with the support of policies, laws and regulations, and research and development. These systematic efforts have shown positive results, with a 40% reduction in the area of degraded land over the last 15 years from 2004–2018.

Deforestation and forest degradation have caused a range of environmental issues, including habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity, deterioration of water quality and quantity, air pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Forest restoration at the landscape level has been conducted to balance ecological integrity and human well-being. Forest restoration efforts are also aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and are closely related to Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) from the forestry sector.

Forest restoration at the landscape level has been conducted to balance ecological integrity and human well-being. Forest restoration efforts are also aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and are closely related to Indonesia's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) from the forestry sector. The purpose of this paper is to examine the regulatory, institutional, and policy aspects of forest restoration in Indonesia, as well as the implementation of forest restoration activities in the country. The article was written using a synoptic review approach to Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR)-related articles and national experiences. Failures, success stories, and criteria and indicators for forest restoration success are all discussed. We also discuss the latest silvicultural techniques for the success of the forest restoration program. Restoration governance in Indonesia has focused on the wetland ecosystem such as peatlands and mangroves, but due to the severely degraded condition of many forests, the government has by necessity opted for active restoration involving the planting and establishment of livelihood options. The government has adapted its restoration approach from the early focus on ecological restoration to more forest landscape restoration, which recognizes that involving the local community in restoration activities is critical for the success of forest restoration.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh informasi tentang besarnya pengaruh aplikasi teknik konservasi tanah dan air (rorak) terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman Gmelina arborea Roxb. Lokasi penelitian adalah Kawasan Hutan Dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK) Carita. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan tiga perlakuan, yaitu P 5 = G. arborea + rorak jarak 5 m; P 10 = G. arborea + rorak jarak 10 m; dan P 0 = G. arborea + tanpa rorak (kontrol). Analisis data tinggi dan diameter tanaman menggunakan ANOVA, dan untuk parameter lain dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertumbuhan terbaik tanaman G. arborea dicapai pada P 5 dengan rata-rata tinggi dan diameter masing-masing 10,07 m dan 13,21 cm. Pada saat tanaman mencapai umur 3 tahun, pada perlakuan P 5 dan P 10 berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman sedangkan pertumbuhan diameter hanya dipengaruhi oleh P 5 . Perlakuan P 5 juga mampu menekan aliran permukaan dan erosi sebesar 2,07% dan 13,56% dari plot kontrol. Kehilangan unsur hara melalui erosi lebih besar jika dibandingkan melalui aliran permukaan, dan P 5 mengalami kehilangan unsur hara paling kecil jika dibandingkan P 10 dan P 0 .

Due to the surface mining which has been generally adopted in mining system in Indonesia, soil surface and landscape mostly damaged flora and fauna habitat mostly changed, landscape stability and hidrology system altered. When post-mining site is not managed properly, the on site and off site mining area will be affected. This happened in copper mining, as in Bangka, the post-mining site has left tailing areas in form of quartzitic sands and overburden compounds. The fertility level of the post-copper mining in the tailing area was generally very low. Post-copper mining sites generally have high level of quartzitic sands, therefore the poor soil fertility due to low buffer capacity for nutrients. The purpose of this research was to collect data and information about quartzitic sands tailing usage as plant medium in nursery, specifically the effective dosage to support the growth of Eucalyptus urophylla and Anthocephalus cadamba in nursery. The research was carried out at PT. Kobatin-Central Bangka in 2010 to study the addition of fertilizer and fixing substances in various concentration to media for E. urophylla and A. cadamba. The results indicated that the plants planted on media containing 20% organic matter, 20% top soil, 5% lime, 1% NPK (fertilizer), and 54% post-copper mining tailing (quartzitic sands) showed enhance both tree species seedlings well growth.

The community usually plants this species in a cropping system with combinations of agricultural crops. Topography, climate, and intensive soil preparation affect on vulnerability of land productivity due to severe runoff and erosion impact on growth and crop production. This condition can be controlled by applying soil conservation techniques such as vertical mulch to reduce runoff and erosion as well as to maintain soil fertility. Eficiency of vertical mulch channel distance is needed to reduce the application cost. This research aims to determine the effect of different distances of vertical mulch channels on mahogany growth and maize production as wel as its effectiveness in controlling runoff , erosion, and nutrient loss. The research was conducted at Carita Forest Research in year 2005-2008 using a randomized block design. Treatment applied was vertical mulch with six and 12 m intervals on the plots of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) and maize (Zea mays L.) cropping system. Observations include height and diameter growth of mahogany, runoff and erosion, and cost required for one hectare area. The result showed that six meter intervals of vertical mulch increased the height and diameter growth of mahogany by 25% and 66% respectively compared to the control. That treatment also reduced runoff and erosion by half, and nutrient loss due to runoff and erosion were reduced up to three and five times respectively. Application of the six meter interval on the mahogany cropping system produced 581 kg/ha/year maize or 47% higher instead of control, and in a hectare the cropping system will require Rp 3,250,000 or more expensive Rp 250,000 compared to control.
