The Impact

Total aboveground carbon (TAC) and total soil carbon stock in the agroforestry system at the Balung River Plantation, Sabah, Malaysia were investigated to scientifically support the sustaining of natural forest for mitigating global warming via reducing carbon in the atmosphere. Agroforestry, monoculture, and natural tropical forests were investigated to calculate the carbon stock and sequestration based on three different combinations of oil palm and agarwood in agroforestry systems from 2014 to 2018. These combinations were oil palm (27 years) and agarwood (seven years), oil palm (20 years) and agarwood (seven years), and oil palm (17 years) and agarwood (five years). Monoculture oil palm (16 years), oil palm (six years), and natural tropical forest were set as the control. Three randomly selected plots for agroforestry and monoculture plantation were 0.25 ha (50 × 50 m), respectively, whereas for the natural tropical forest it was 0.09 ha (30 × 30 m). A nondestructive sampling method followed by the allometric equation determined the standing biomass. Organic and shrub layers collected in a square frame (1 × 1 m) were analyzed using the CHN628 series (LECO Corp., MI, USA) for carbon content. Soil bulk density of randomly selected points within the three different layers, that is, 0 to 5, 5 to 10, and 10 to 30 cm were used to determine the total ecosystem carbon (TEC) stock in each agroforestry system which was 79.13, 85.40, and 78.28 Mg C ha−1, respectively. The TEC in the monoculture oil palm was 76.44 and 60.30 Mg C ha−1, whereas natural tropical forest had the highest TEC of 287.29 Mg C ha−1. The forest stand had the highest TEC capacity as compared with the agroforestry and monoculture systems. The impact of planting systems on the TEC showed a statistically significant difference at a 95% confidence interval for the various carbon pools among the agroforestry, monoculture, and natural tropical forests. Therefore, the forest must be sustained because of its higher capacity to store carbon in mitigating global warming.

Study Results

Conservation area buffer zones are recognized to provide ecological, social, and economic benefits in supporting conservation areas' integrity. Nevertheless, little is known hitherto about the development dynamics of conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia. Therefore, a study concerning theory, policy, and management of the conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia is necessary to analyze its performance, identify problems in its implementation, and formulate its evidence-based development policy. This study aims to identify and analyze issues in implementing the concept of conservation area buffer zone as well as recommend policy formulation to accelerate the development of conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia. This study is an exploratory research through a literature review with semi-systematic approach. It finds that there are only nine out of 530 (1.7%) conservation areas in Indonesia with a formally established buffer zone. This condition is mainly due to the absence of buffer zone institutions at the regional government levels. Meanwhile, the management of supposedly buffer zones has been conducted through various projects for strengthening the functions of buffer zones by conservation area managers, either in the form of land-based or non-land-based projects. This study results in recommendations for all interested parties to urge the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Home Affairs to promulgate and renew the regulations concerning the procedures of establishing and managing conservation area buffer zones. Moreover, regarding the institutional aspect, there is a need for a particular structure in both ministries to address community empowerment issues at the site level.

The Impact

Understanding and identifying the spatial-temporal changes in the natural environment is crucial for monitoring and evaluating conservation efforts, as well as understanding the impact of human activities on natural resources, informing responsible land management, and promoting better decision-making. Conservation areas are often under pressure from expanding farming and related industry, invasive alien vegetation, and an ever-increasing human settlement footprint. This study focuses on detecting changes to the Prince Alfred Hamlet commonage, near Ceres in the Cape Floral Kingdom. It was chosen for its high conservation value and significance as a critical water source area. The study area includes a fast-growing human settlement footprint in a highly productive farming landscape. There are conflicting development needs as well as risks to agricultural production, and both of these threaten the integrity of the ecosystems which supply underlying services to both demands on the land. Using a multi-disciplinary approach and high-resolution satellite imagery, land use and land cover changes can be detected and classified, and the results used to support the conservation of biodiversity and wildlife, and protect our natural resources. The aim of this research is to study the efficacy of using remote sensing and GIS techniques to detect changes to critical conservation areas where disturbances can be understood, and therefore better managed and mitigated before these areas are degraded beyond repair.

Do So

The range use patterns of adult leopards were used to examine the impact of environmental quality on conservation area size in the arid south-western portion of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in southern Africa. The ranges of the leopards are the largest recorded in the world, with a mean size of 2104.4 km2 (SEM 995.95 km2 ) for males and 1258.5 km2 (SEM 541.50 km2 ) for females. Overlaps in range use within and between the sexes and the size of this conservation area make it possible to sustain a genetically viable population of leopards in this arid environment.Conservation implications: When establishing conservation areas that contain large carnivores in arid and semi-arid regions, prey abundance and range use should be considered for the area to be able to sustain viable populations of such carnivores. The results emphasise the importance of establishing large transfrontier conservation areas where individual conservation areas are too small to do so. This study is the first to do so for leopards in southern Africa.

Environmental Infrastructure

AbstractThe Kwando Basin of north-eastern Namibia is firmly embedded in current national and international conservation agendas. It is a key part of the world's largest transboundary conservation area, the Kavango–Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation Area, and the home of seven community-based conservation areas (conservancies) and three smaller national parks (Mudumu, Nkasa Rupara and Bwabwata). While conservation agendas often start from the assumption that an authentic part of African nature is conserved as an assemblage of biota that has not been gravely impacted by subsistence agriculture, colonialism and global value chains, we show that environmental infrastructure along the Namibian side of the Kwando Valley has been shaped by the impact of administrative measures and the gradual decoupling of humans and wildlife in a vast wetland. The way towards today's conservation landscape was marked and marred by the enforced reordering of human–environment relations; clearing the riverine core wetlands of human habitation and concentrating communities in narrowly defined settlement zones; the suppression of specific, wetland-adapted subsistence practices; and the elimination of unwanted microbes with the help of insecticides. The interventions in the ecosystem and the construction of an environmental infrastructure have created a unique conservation landscape in the Namibian Zambezi region, which provides the foundation for its popularity and success.

Ekosistem mangrove merupakan salah satu ekosistem yang berperan dalam mengurangi karbon di udara, dan menyimpan karbon dari udara dalam bentuk biomassa pada bagian tubuh tumbuhan mangrove. Penelitian tentang estimasi cadangan karbon ini sangat diperlukan untuk menunjang perbaikan iklim dunia. Karena saat ini dunia sedang mengalami krisis global yang disebut climate change. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengestimasi cadangan karbon yang tersimpan pada tegakan dan substrat mangrove di kawasan mangrove Desa Timbulsloko. Metode yang digunakan yaitu purposive sampling method dan eksploratif, dilakukan di tiga stasiun dengan kondisi ekosistem mangrove yang bervariasi. Setiap stasiun penelitian dibagi menjadi tiga plot penelitian untuk menghitung nilai biomassa tegakan digunakan rumus allometrik untuk mengestimasi cadangan karbon pada tegakan mangrove. Data karbon substrat didapat dari kandungan bahan organik substrat yang dianalisis di Laboratorium. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa cadangan karbon pada tegakan mangrove sebesar 12.370,8 ton/ha, sedangkan estimasi cadangan karbon pada substrat mangrove sebesar 1.307,77 ton/ha. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa estimasi cadangan karbon pada tegakan mangrove lebih besar dibandingkan dengan estimasi cadangan karbon pada substrat mangrove. Hasil estimasi cadangan karbon pada tegakan mangrove meningkat seiring dengan meningkatnya besarnya biomassa tumbuhan dan kerapatan mangrove. Sedangkan estimasi cadangan karbon pada substrat diduga lebih dipengaruhi oleh bahan organik dan lokasi penelitian. Estimates of Carbon Stok in the Mangrove Area in Timbulsloko Village,Demak, Central Java Mangrove ecosystem is one of the ecosystem that play a role in reducing carbon in the air. One of the functions of mangrove is to store carbon from the air form of biomass in the body parts of mangrove plants. This research on the estimation of carbon stocks is needed to support the improvement of world climate. Today the world is experiencing a global crisis called climate change. The purpose of this research are estimate of carbon stock on stands and substrate in mangrove area of Timbulsloko Village. This research used purposive sampling and explorative method, conducted in three stations with varying mangrove ecosystem conditions. The research was divided into three research plots per station to calculate the stand biomass value using allometric formula in estimating carbon stocks of mangrove area. Substrate carbon data obtained from the content of substrate organic materials analyzed at Laboratorium. Based on the result of research, it is found that carbon stock in mangrove stands is 12.370,8 ton/ha, while estimation of carbon stock on mangrove substrate is 1.307 ton/ha. These results show that estimates of carbon stocks in mangrove stands are greater than estimates of carbon stocks on mangrove substrates. The estimation of carbon stocks on mangrove stands increases with increasing of plant biomass and mangrove density, while estimates of carbon stocks on the substrate are suspected to be more influenced by organic materials and research sites.

The Impact

The negative effects of global warming are becoming more and more serious. The fundamental way to prevent global warming is by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Achieving this has become a key concern for all countries. The logarithmic mean divisia index model was constructed to decompose the total carbon emission increment. Carbon finance effect was divided into green credit effect and carbon trading effect to analyze the impact of carbon finance on carbon emissions. The results showed that the total carbon emission reduction value caused by green credit effect from 2010 to 2016 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was 66193.96 million tons, and the added value of carbon emission caused by carbon trading effect was 80266.68 million tons. There are regional differences in the effects of carbon finance on carbon emissions in these regions. It can be concluded that to a certain extent, green credit can reduce carbon emissions, and carbon trading can increase carbon emissions. Using the gradual expansion of carbon finance trading and market mechanism of carbon finance to solve the problem of carbon emission can improve the efficiency of carbon emission reduction.
