Seran YN, Sudarto, Hakim L, Arisoesilaningsih E. 2018. Sandalwood (Santalum album) growth and farming successstrengthen its natural conservation in the Timor Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1586-1592. Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is aunique plant of the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province of Indonesia and locally known as the unity symbol woody fragrance (haumeni). The study aimed to compare growth quality of trees grown in plantations and forests in the districts of North Central Timor(TTU) and South Central Timor (TTS). Vegetation analysis was held by purposive sampling in eight sites comprising 87 plots. Plotssizes were 20x20 m2 for trees, 10x10 m2 for poles, and 5x5 m2 for saplings. Variables observed in each plot included density, trunkdiameter, height, crown quality, and vitality. Data were analyzed by descriptive and multivariate statistics. The results showed that thegrowth of sandalwoods varied spatially in all study sites and was classified into five groups. Two plantations in TTS District showedbetter trees growth quality compared to those in TTU. Higher saplings and poles density were found in two sites, a plantation and aforest in TTU plantation, and in a forest in TTS. However higher vitality were found in two plantations, each one in TTS and TTU.Inferior growth was observed in Nununamat plantation. Farmers had a significant role in strengthening sandalwood conservation in twodistricts as shown by their successful farming and trees growth quality that was similar to those in the forests.

Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is a endemic spesies of the Lesser Sunda Island (NTT), grows in deciduous forest or in private traditional plantation for centuries. Study aimed to evaluated profile dynamic structure population of sandalwood in forest and plantation in the district of South Central Timor (TTS) and North Central Timor (TTU). Population structure analysis was held by purposive sampling in eight sites comprised 87 plots. Plots size were 20x20 m2 (trees), 10x10 m2 (poles), 5x5 m2 (saplings), 2x2 m2 (seedlings). Variables observed in each plot were included density, stem diameter, height of free trunk (TBBC), height trees and saplings, crown quality and coverage. Data were analyzed by qualitative descriptively and multivariate statistics. Results showed that population structure of sandalwood varied spatially in all study sites in two district, especially density of seedlings and saplings in plantations and forests. Sandalwood trees density ranges from 0-23 ind.ha-1, poles phase 80-322 ind.ha-1, saplings phase 60-1,289 ind.ha-1, while the seedlings phase is very dominant 2,000-27,813 ind.ha-1. Higher saplings and poles density were found in two sites of TTU plantation and forest or a TTS forest. Farmer in two districts successfully cultivated sandalwood in plantation shown by similar growth quality with those of forest trees.

<p>Wildfires constitute a diffuse source of contamination to aquatic ecosystems. In burnt hillslopes, ash and sediments transported by overland flow are a source of potentially hazardous substances, like metals, posing a risk for downstream water bodies. In the present study, post-fire metal mobilization by overland flow was evaluated in 16 m<sup>2 </sup>bounded plots at a eucalypt stand in Albergaria-a-Velha (Aveiro district, North-Central Portugal) that burnt with moderate severity in September 2019. Overland flow samples were collected on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, depending on the occurrence of rain, during the first 6 months after fire. Aside from overland flow samples collected at slope scale, water and sediment samples were also collected in a fire-affected stream within the Albergaria burned catchment, to assess the contamination risk posed by the fire. Samples were collected at three sites along the stream: one upstream, one within and another downstream from the burnt area, after major rainfall events. The metals analysed in this study included, vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Results showed that most metals exhibited a peak in exports immediately after the first significant post-fire rainfall event likely due to the wash-off of the ash layer and high sediment losses, but for some elements like Zn and Cu, exports were more or less constant over time. The fire seems to have had a low impact on the water quality of the affected stream, since metal concentrations were similar between the three study sites. The quality of stream sediments, on the other hand, was clearly affected by the fire, especially after the rainy season. As fire severity and frequency is forecasted to increase in the near future due to climate changes, the results of this work reinforce the importance of water managers to define adaptative strategies to effectively protect freshwater bodies.</p>

<p>This article aims to provide an overview of factors influence the interpretation of the effectiveness of conservation policy implementers Sandalwood (Santalum album L) in the district of South Central Timor (TTS) East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Explanatory research design using survey. Sampling technique is stratified sampling, with a size of 145 respondents. Researchers also determined several key persons from various community groups and also from the head of the forest service, the head of the planning department at Sub forestry service, and chief of the office of South Central Timor regency service plan (Bappeda). While the techniques of data collection techniques include questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation. Influence the interpretation of the effectiveness of the conservation of sandalwood tested using path analysis. Research conclusion is, the interpretation of policy implementers sandalwood is not maximized in enhancing the effectiveness of conservation Sandalwood. The results also show that there are other factors that need attention if the effectiveness of conservation the of Sandalwood to be improved, the factors of community participation  and the factor values  are valid, both executive officers and the community.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>:</strong> Interpretation, Implementation, Effectiveness, Conservation, Sandalwood (<em>santalum  album L</em>).</p>

The water quality of fresh water, springs and wells in Bekaa valley, mountain district, a region of Republic of Lebanon in connection/delta of Mediterranean sea (basin) is surveyed along the Lebanese north, central and south coast at Tripoli, Jounieh and Saida deltas respectively in which, Sannine Aquifer at Bekaa valley, the major groundwater source for the coastal area is in-direct contact with the sea. The thin freshwater lens (delta) is being heavily exploited in this area, where a large number of wells exist in the area passing coastal areas of Lebanon. Many of those wells are saline and are not suitable for direct domestic use or even for irrigation. This study deals with water quality study, general assessment of level of pollution and potential influence on seawater through analysis of Physico-Chemical parameters and selected Inorganic substances of water sample collected from south, central and north Lebanese coastal water among with major water natural resources at Bekaa valley.

Marble is one of the industrial materials of high economic value and very beneficial to people's lives. Therefore, many explorations are done by mining companies. Exploitation of natural resources on a large scale without regard to the carrying capacity of the environment, can lead to drastic decline in the quality of the ecosystem. This is what happened in the post-mine forest area of ​​Oenbit Village, North Central Timor District. This study aims to identify and calculate the abundance of plants and environmental factors that affect the plants in the post-marble area of ​​Oenbit village. The method used is quadratic / plot method. The results showed that plant species with significant values ​​above 80.00% were Anacardium occidentale L. (125.69%), Tamarindus indica L. (122.17%), Tectona grandis L.f (87.32%), and Schleichera oleosa (Lour .) Oken (82.67%). Abiotic environmental factors measured at the study sites are soil pH, soil moisture, air temperature, air humidity and light intensity. The results of these measurements showed no significant difference.
