Rumput laut (Gracilaria verrucosa) telah dibudidayakan di tambak tanah sulfat masam dengan kualitas dan kuantitas produksi yang relatif tinggi. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peubah kualitas air yang mempengaruhi laju pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Pemeliharaan rumput laut dilakukan di 30 petak tambak  terpilih selama 6 minggu. Bibit rumput laut dengan bobot 100 g basah ditebar dalam hapa berukuran 1,0 m x 1,0 m x 1,2 m. Peubah tidak bebas yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan relatif, sedangkan peubah bebas adalah peubah kualitas air yang meliputi: intensitas cahaya, salinitas, suhu, pH, karbondioksida, nitrat, amonium, fosfat, dan besi. Analisis regresi berganda digunakan untuk menentukan peubah bebas yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi peubah tidak bebas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju pertumbuhan relatif rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam berkisar antara 1,52% dan 3,63%/hari dengan rata-rata 2,88% ± 0,56%/hari. Di antara 9 peubah kualitas air yang diamati ternyata hanya 5 peubah kualitas air yaitu: nitrat, salinitas, amonium, besi, dan fosfat yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan rumput laut secara nyata. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian pupuk yang mengandung nitrogen untuk meningkatkan kandungan amonium dan nitrat serta pemberian pupuk yang mengandung fosfor untuk meningkatkan kandungan fosfat sampai pada nilai tertentu, melakukan remediasi untuk menurunkan kandungan besi serta memelihara rumput laut pada salinitas air yang lebih tinggi, tetapi tidak melebihi 30 ppt.Seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) has been cultivated in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds with relatively high quality and quantity of seaweed production. A research has been conducted to study water quality variables that influence the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds of Angkona Sub-district East Luwu Regency South Sulawesi Province. Cultivation of seaweed was done for six weeks in 30 selected brackishwater ponds. Seeds of seaweed with weight of 100 g were stocked in hapa sized 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.2 m. Dependent variable that was observed was specific growth rate, whereas independent variables were water quality variables including light intensity, salinity, temperature, pH, carbondioxide, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and iron. Analyses of multiple regressions were used to determine the independent variables which could be used to predict the dependent variable. Research result indicated that relative growth rate of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds ranged from 1.52% to 3.63%/day with 2.88% ± 0.56%/day in average. Among nine observed water quality variables, only five variables namely: nitrate, salinity, ammonium, phosphate and iron influence significantly on the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds. The growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds of Angkona District East Luwu Regency, can be improved by using nitrogen-based fertilizers to increase ammonium and nitrate contents and also fertilizers which contain phosphorus to improve phosphate content to a certain level. Pond remediation to decrease iron content and also rearing seaweed at higher salinity (but less than 30 ppt) can also be alternatives to increase the growth of seaweed.

Laboratory experiments aimed at understanding the changes in magnetic properties of a sulfidic clay during its oxidation are described. Samples of a sulfidic clay from an acid sulfate soil were slowly oxidized and their magnetic susceptibility (χ) and remanence properties (ARM and SIRM) were measured over a 28 week period. Magnetic properties were measured for the undried material and for subsamples which had been dried by rapid air-drying or by extraction of water with dioxane. Magnetic susceptibility decreased during the first 12 weeks of oxidation and then increased. Samples dried in dioxane showed similar values to the undried material, but air drying caused decreases in χ in samples taken up to 7 weeks of oxidation. Thereafter, there was no effect of drying on χ. In contrast to susceptibility, the remanence properties decreased throughout the experiment, to 8% of their initial values. The results were interpreted in terms of rapid chemical oxidation of a labile magnetic compound (possibly greigite) during the early stages of oxidation and by air drying, and the biological oxidation of pyrite during later stages of oxidation. Associated with these reactions was the formation of a paramagnetic compound, probably ferrihydrite. The effects of changes in iron mineralogy during 28 weeks of oxidation on χ are shown schematically.

Kota Pekalongan memiliki lahan tambak yang produktivitas tambaknya masih tergolong relatif rendah. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui karakteristik lahan dalam upaya menentukan kesesuaian dan pengelolaan lahan untuk budidaya tambak demi peningkatan produktivitas tambak di Kota Pekalongan. Faktor yang dipertimbangkan dalam mengetahui karakteristik lahan adalah: tanah, topografi, hidrologi, vegetasi, dan iklim. Analisis spasial dalam Sistem Informasi Geografis digunakan dalam penentuan kesesuaian lahan untuk budidaya tambak. Pengelolaan lahan ditentukan berdasarkan karakteristik lahan yang disesuaikan dengan teknologi dan komoditas yang dapat diaplikasikan di tambak. Tanah tambak di Kota Pekalongan tergolong tanah aluvial non-sulfat masam yang tidak memiliki potensi kemasaman tanah yang tinggi dan sebagian kecil tanah sulfat masam. Sumber air laut untuk tambak tergolong agak keruh dan salinitas air tambak cukup bervariasi sebagai akibat adanya sumber air tawar yang berasal dari Sungai Pekalongan dan sodetan. Vegetasi bakau adalah jenis vegetasi yang dominan di kawasan tambak sebab adanya Program GERHAN (Gerakan Nasional Rehabilitasi Hutan dan Lahan) di Kota Pekalongan. Curah hujan di Kota Pekalongan sebesar 2.300 mm/tahun di mana curah hujan yang rendah dijumpai pada bulan Juli sampai Oktober. Di kawasan pesisir Kota Pekalongan dijumpai tambak, sawah, sawah terintrusi, dan pemukiman yang luasnya masing-masing 332,29; 372,53; 183,83; dan 619,73 ha. Dari luas tambak yang ada di Kota Pekalongan, yaitu 331,292 ha ternyata tidak ada tambak yang tergolong sangat sesuai (kelas S1), 191,856 ha tergolong cukup sesuai (kelas S2) dan 140,436 ha tergolong kurang sesuai (kelas S3). Pada areal yang mengandung unsur atau senyawa penyebab kemasaman yang tinggi disarankan untuk melakukan upaya perbaikan tanah terlebih dahulu berupa remediasi, pemberian pupuk yang mengandung nitrogen pada areal yang memiliki rasio C:N tanah yang tinggi serta pemberian pupuk kandang pada tanah yang mengandung liat lebih besar 60% dan bahan organik kurang dari 8%.Pekalongan City has brackishwater ponds with low productivity. Hence, a survey was conducted to know land characteristics as an effort to determine land suitability and land management to increase the productivity of brackishwater ponds in Pekalongan City, Central Java Province. Factors considered to determine the characteristics of land were soil, topography, hydrology, vegetation, and climate. Spatial analysis in Geographical Information System was used to determine land suitability for brackishwater ponds. Land management was determined based on the characteristics of land conditioned to the types of technology and commodity applied in the brackishwater ponds. Soil of brackishwater ponds in Pekalongan City was dominated by alluvial non-acid sulfate soil in large areas and acid sulfate soil in small areas. Source of sea water for brackishwater ponds has high turbidity and high variation of salinity due to presence of freshwater supply from Pekalongan River and man made canals. Mangrove vegetation is dominant in the coastal area of Pekalongan City, because the presence of GERHAN (National Action for Forest and Land Rehabilitation) Program. The average of rainfall in Pekalongan City is 2,230 mm/year, where low of rainfall occurrs in July until October. The result revealed that the coastal area of Pekalongan City had brackishwater ponds, paddy field, paddy field intruded saline water and settlement of 332.29 ha; 372.53 ha; 183.83ha; and 619.73 ha, respectively. From the total brackishwater ponds in Pekalongan City i.e. 331.292 ha, there were no brackishwater ponds classified as highly suitable (S1 class), but it was found moderately suitable or S2 class (191.856 ha) and marginally suitable or S3 class (140,436 ha). It is suggested to conduct improving soil quality first, including remediation of the areas that contain elements or compounds causing the high acidity of soil, fertilizing with fertilizer containing nitrogen in the areas that have high C:N ratio and applying manure in the soils that contain clay more than 60% and organic matter less than 8%.
