Coffee is one of the important commodities in Indonesia. The coffee commodity has strategic potential in the development of the community's economy. Over time coffee production in Indonesia has decreased, the average productivity of coffee in Indonesia is only around 600 kg/ha, while the potential for coffee production per hectare can reach 1000 kg/ha. One of the largest coffee-producing regions is Tanggamus Regency in Lampung. This region’s climate plays an essential part in plant production, even more than soil in determining plant growth and development. Climate elements such as air temperature, solar radiation, and humidity support and play an important role in crop production. Meanwhile physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil are directly related to plant productivity. This research was conducted in 2 sub-districts, namely Sumberejo and Ulubelu Districts from July to October 2020. Based on the results of observations and analysis, it was found that the agro-climatic suitability of some of the Sumberejo and Ulubelu areas was included in the S1 conformity class category, but there is one limiting factor, namely slope. Efforts to modify the environment based on the value of the suitability class are needed. It is recommended to make a terrace to handle the limiting factors. Kopi adalah salah satu komoditas penting yang ada di Indonesia. Komoditas kopi memiliki potensi strategis dalam perkembangan perekonomian masyarakat. Seiring waktu produksi kopi di Indonesia semakin menurun, produktivitas rata-rata kopi di Indonesia hanya berkisar 600 kg/ha, sedangkan potensi produksi kopi tiap hektar bisa mencapai 1000 kg/ha. Salah satu daerah atau kabupaten penghasil kopi terbesar di Lampung adalah Kabupaten Tanggamus. Kabupaten Tanggamus memiliki luas lahan perkebunan kopi sebesar 41.512 ha dengan produksi total sebesar 33.482 ton Salah satu pengaruh lingkungan yang paling esensial adalah iklim. Iklim tidak hanya mempengaruhi pertumbuhan tanaman, tetapi iklim juga dipengaruhi oleh tanaman. Iklim dapat menjadi faktor yang lebih penting dari pada tanah dalam menentukan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tanaman. Unsur-unsur iklim seperti suhu udara, radiasi matahari, dan kelembaban mendukung dan berperanan penting secara langsung dalam kegiatan budidaya tanaman. Iklim juga mempengaruhi sifat fisik, kimia, dan biologi tanah secara tidak langsung. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di dua Kecamatan yaitu Kecamatan Sumberejo dan Ulubelu pada bulan Juli-Oktober 2020. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan analisis yang telah didapatkan bahwa kesesuaian agroklimat sebagian kawasan Sumberejo dan Ulubelu masuk kategori kelas kesesuaian S1 atau sesuai namun terdapat satu unsur faktor pembatas yaitu kelerengan. Upaya modifikasi lingkungan berdasarkan nilai kelas kesesuaian maka dianjurkan dalam pembuatan teras agar faktor pembatas dapat ditangani.

Continuous use of traditional tillage system (conventional) resulted in a gradual harvest increase, but gave rise to some worrying negative phenomenon regarding the most important supply of the agricultural production - soil, by its chemical and physical degradation.This paper aims to assess soil degradation processes, based on pedo-transfer rules and is based on of expeditionary studies regarding assessment and characterization of soil fertility, under the practice of various farming systems: conventional tillage and minimum tillage. The study carried out the effects of moderat conservative tillage on physical and chemical soil properties comparative with conventional soil technology on an argic chernozem, belongs to the agricultural Caracal area. Agricultural area is affected by a relatively high variability of the limiting factors and soil degradation processes, which require adaptation of technology systems to protection of soil and plants. Because of all limiting factors, natural and antropic, in this expeditionary study we compare the moderat conservative tillage effects, with conventional technology effects and impact of those both soil technology, on physical, chemical and biological properties. Results of study show the potential depth of aeration conditions are moderately favorable, being determined particularly by intense state of compactness of the soil as a natural consequence of it. Macroporosity decrease in depth, has negative consequences not only on the normal performance of the processes of aeration, and water penetration and infiltration, but for the accumulation of water available for plants. Content of structural microagregates water-stable or soil dispersion is high, which shows that the formation of structural macroagregates occurred more mechanical factors such as compaction or natural processes. The numerical values of the degree of compaction of 15-20 cm in depth up to the 15-18% v / v in both phases of observation. Deep compaction is undoubtedly due to the technological system applied to the greatest extent, and only a small part pedogenetical natural factors.

This paper deals with verification of the effect of fermented manure (with and without Z'fix activators) and soil activators (PRP Sol) on a soil properties change. Their application should lead to a change in physical, physical-chemical and biological properties of soil, along with ecological material fixation, improved water retention and infiltration, reduction of soil susceptibility to water erosion and decreased soil tillage energy requirements. Field trial was established in Sloveč in Central Bohemia in the year 2014. The experiment was divided into several variants and was designed as multiannual. Z›fix activator was used as a biological transformation activator of manure. PRP Sol was used as a soil activator. In order to verify the effect, soil infiltration, cone index, bulk density and draft of tillage implement were measured. Measurements have shown a beneficial effect of the activators with regard to the decomposition of organic matter. Consequently, changes in soil properties and a reduction of draft at tillage operations developed. Finally, the effect should evolve gradually with a prolonged activator treatment.

Fire is one of the most significant disturbances in an ecosystem, as it is capable of altering the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, and the fire frequency in semi-arid ecosystems is increasing. These changes can potentially alter plant-soil feedbacks that may affect post-fire recovery of the native plant and soil communities and lead to an ecosystem state change. However, there is much uncertainty about the magnitude of change as soils are exposed to more fires, because soil recovery and changes in fire severity following a first fire mediate the impact of successive fires on soil properties. To improve understanding of fire frequency effects on the soil ecology of the northern Columbia Basin sagebrush steppe ecosystem, this study assessed the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil that are critical to plant communities (e.g. soil pH, C and N, respiration and extracellular enzyme activity) from four different fire frequencies (unburned, burned once, twice, and thrice). Our study yielded three main results: 1) fire reduced the soil C concentration relative to unburned soil, but only when soil was exposed to fire once, 2) soil pH and NO3--N increased with fire frequency, whereas enzyme activity decreased, and 3) soil organic matter contents and microbial respiration were suppressed significantly in the once and thrice burned soils compared to the unburned and twice burned soils. Taken together, our findings suggest that a one-time fire in this region of the sagebrush steppe is capable of significantly changing soil properties that alter plant-soil feedbacks and hinder ecosystem resilience, thus contributing to ecosystem change particularly when fire frequency increases.

Soil with poor physio-chemical and biological properties prevent plant growth. These poor characteristics may be due to soil creation processes, but also include largely inappropriate agricultural practices and/or anthropogenic pollution. During the last 4 decades, the world has lost one-third of its cropland due to pollution and erosion. Therefore, a series of operations is required to improve and recover the soil. Biochar is a new multifunctional carbon material extensively used as a modifier to improve soil quality and crop production. Previous studies have discussed the properties of biochar with varying soil pollutants and their effects on soil productivity and carbon sequestration. Comparatively, little attention has been paid to the effects of biochar application on rice growth in the problem of soils, especially in the saline-sodic soils. A comprehensive review of the literature with a high focusing on the effects of biochar application on problem soils and rice-growing under salinity conditions is needed. The present review gives an overview of the soil's problem, biochar amendment effects on physicochemical properties of soil, and how the biochar amendment could interact in soil microbes and root with remediation under salinity conditions for improving rice productivity. The findings of this review showed that biochar application can improve soil quality, reduce soil's problem and increase rice production under salinity conditions. It is anticipated that further researches on the biochar amendment will increase our understanding of the interactions of biochar with soil components, accelerate our attempts on soil remediation, and improve rice production under salinity conditions.
