Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an annual crop that has the potential to absorb carbon emissions. In oil palm plantations, it is common to find weeds of various species that grow under stands of oil palm trees (understory) and litter. Undergrowth in oil palm plantations can be a land cover plant as well as a significant carbon store in addition to oil palm plants themselves. Peatlands hav…
Peatlands are ecosystems that have environmental functions, economic value, and ecological value. Peatlands are soils that form naturally from the weathering of vegetation that has grown on them over many years. Vegetation in swamp ecosystems can utilize the process of carbon anchoring to produce a lot of plant biomass both above the ground and on the surface. Oil palm plants are able to genera…
Peatland is land that has a layer of soil that is not perfectly decomposed which is rich in organic matter (C-organic > 18%) with a thickness of 50 cm or more. The organic matter that makes up peat soil is formed from plant remains that have not completely decomposed due to saturated water and poor nutrient conditions. This study aims to determine the characteristics of peatland in the Faculty …
Soil fertility is the ability of the soil to provide essential nutrients in available form and in an appropriate balance. Mining often causes environmental damage, including decreasing soil quality. This thesis aims to evaluate soil fertility on post-mining land and provide recommendations for land rehabilitation to make it productive again. Objectives The aim of this research is to determine t…
Ultisol soils are nutrient poor, especially nitrogen. Urea fertilization is often less efficient, so organic fertilizers such as humic acid and biochar are needed to improve soil fertility. This study aims to determine the effect of humic acid-biochar application and urea fertilizer on nitrogen nutrient uptake, growth, and yield of mustard plants on ultisol soil. This research was conducted in …
Ultisol is a type of soil formed in the tropics with low pH and relatively low nutrient content. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of humic acid-biochar and urea fertilizer to increase the availability of N nutrients and the growth and yield of mustard plants (Brassica juncea L.) on ultisol. This research was conducted from September to December 2024 and was conducted a…
Soil is one of the important natural resources in the sustainability of plant life and environmental sustainability. The decline in the level of soil capability is indicated by soil erosion which can reduce the ability of soil and environmental functions. The value of erosion is influenced by the factors of rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, slope, land management and conservation measures. …
Soil fertility is the ability of soil to support plant growth by providing balanced nutrients. Low soil fertility makes constraints that can limit plant growth. This study aims to determine the status of soil fertility on rubber plantation land in Pagar Agung, Lahat District, Lahat Regency.

Plant growth and development depend on the availability of balanced nutrients, one of which is nutrients from a stable pH, which can make plants grow and develop optimally. If the pH is low, it causes low nutrient absorption, making the leaves yellow and growth slow, while too high a pH can cause plant roots to die. One of the plants that requires a balanced pH for its growth process is the Cym…
