Naturally, oil palm plants are symbiotic with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (FMA). Oil palm plants are classified as plants that are highly dependent on FMA because their roots don’t have a root hairs. Arbuscular mycorrhizal is an association between fungi and plantroots, found in most ecosystems that connect plants with the rhizosphere. Arbuscular mycorrhizal is a soil microorganism that func…

Coal mining activities often cause negative impacts, especially on the environment, such as decreased land productivity and increased soil density. Mining activities that result in a decrease in productivity and change the soil structure on post-mining land have a great opportunity for erosion because damaged soil conditions cause the soil to become sensitive to erosion. A reclamation effort is…
One of the factors that can increase the filtration rate is the level of soil permeability. Infiltration is the process of water entering from above into the soil surface, while soil permeability is the ability of water to flow through the pores of the soil. This research was conducted in December 2022 at PT Melania Indonesia, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The purpose of conducting this res…
Watermelon plant is a horticultural commodity that comes from the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) which has high economic value. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of overflow type C tidal land in Damar Wulan Village, Air Salek District with watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) cultivation. The method used in this study is using field survey methods and observations in the laboratory. Soil sam…
The eucalyptus plant (Melaleuca cajuputi) is one of the plants used as a revegetation plant in post-mining reclamation activities. Eucalyptus plants come from the Myrtaceae family, the tree height can reach 10-20 meters. Eucalyptus plants are able to live in conditions on marginal lands and on soils that have good drainage and also on poor drainage with a slope of less than 15%. This study aims…
Logam berat adalah suatu bahan yang dapat mencemari lingkungan serta merupakan logam yang paling berbahaya apabila densitasnya melebihi 5 gr/cm3 karena sifat logam berat yang beracun dan toksik. Apabila pencemaran lingkungan seperti limbah padat, kemudian pestisida, limbah rumah tangga yang terserap oleh tanah akan diserap oleh akar tanaman kopi dan menjadikan tanaman kopi tersebut mengandung l…
Erodibilitas tanah diartikan sebagai mudah atau sulitnya tanah dipecah oleh adanya kekuatan air hujan yang jatuh atau disebut juga kekuatan aliran permukaan. Erodibilitas tanah ditentukan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu tekstur, struktur, permeabilitas dan bahan organik tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh, sifat fisika, dan kimia tanah terhadap nilai erodibilitas tanah…
Soil erodibility is the value of soil sensitivity to erosion. The higher the erodibility of the soil, the more likely the soil is to experience erosion. This research was conducted at PT Melania Indonesia, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The purpose of this study was to assess soil erodibility, understand the factors influencing soil erodibility, and understand the relationship between soil p…
Erosion is a serious problem in post-mining land if it is not controlled, because most of the post-mining land that has been reclaimed are still relatively unstable. Nevertheless, direct measurement of erosion in the field is certainly impractical on reclamation land. Based on these problems, this study aims to utilize remote sensing systems as an alternative in erosion measurement and mapping.…
Soil is a material consisting of mineral fractions and organic matter that undergoes weathering to form a horizontal layer or a cross section of the soil profile. Soil can cause heavy metal content that comes from waste pollution, use of fertilizers and can be seen based on the age of the plant. Lead is a very toxic heavy metal, the optimal content in the soil ranges from 0.5 to 3.00 ppm. This …
Coal mining activities, especially with an open system (opencast mining) which causes severe environmental damage, mainly due to land contamination and degradation. Mining, which is generally carried out using an open pit mining system, can damage land surface conditions including loss of vegetation, overturning or changes in soil composition, erosion, water pollution, and changes in soil densi…
