This study aims to analyze the use of land cover in the period 2013-2022. The research was conducted from November 2022 to January 2023 in the Gayo highland area by taking case studies in 2 regions including the Central Aceh District and Bener Meriah District. The research was carried out in several stages, namely: image pre-processing, image visual interpretation, making image classification class identifiers, and ground checking. The pre-processing stage is the preparation of tools and materials. Landsat 8 OLI imagery for the study area downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website. The results of the research show that in the last 10 years there has been a decrease in the area of land cover in the exploration area of primary forest and secondary forest. Meanwhile, in the cultivation of dry fields, settlements, plantations and vacant land, land use has increased. Changes in the use of land cover are influenced by community activities in Central Aceh and Bener Meriah Regencies.","PeriodicalId":479486,"journal":{"name":"Global Forest Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134919819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This residue contains mainly vascular bundles and small amount of parenchyma. These materials are potentially utilized for making panel products such as particleboard (OPTBparticleboard). Objective of this study was to evaluate physical mechanical properties of OPTB-particleboard. For preserving the durability, this work was intended to apply 15% mixture of methyl methacrylate (MMA) cured with Styrofoam as the binder with a ratio (w/w) of 3:1. OPTB-particleboard was made according to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS A5908: 2003) with a target density of 0.75 g/cm3 and dimensions of 25 x 25 x 1 cm3. Hot pressing was a condition set at a pressure of 30 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 160 °C for 15 minutes. Physical and mechanical properties were tested according to JIS A 5908:2003 standard. The results showed that physical and mechanical properties of the OPTB-particleboard did not meet the standard. The characteristics of OPTB still easily absorb water even though MMA-Styrofoam should hinder water ingress. Additionally, the poor quality of the OPTB-particleboard was primarily due to the binder's inadequate composition. Optimum values reached when IB, MOR, and MOE were 0.026 MPa, 6.69 MPa, and 892 MPa, respectively. Based on the analysis of variance, it can be concluded that there is no influence on the bottom, middle and upper parts of the origin of the OPTB except for the MOR.","PeriodicalId":479486,"journal":{"name":"Global Forest Journal","volume":"523 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134919816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Swietenia macrophylla, Mimusops elengi and Polyalthia longifolia are the three most common tree species found on campus. To maximize the potential for utilizing tree species on the Universitas Sumatera Utara campus, several efforts can be made, one of which is by exploring the presence of cellulolytic fungi. Cellulolytic fungi are fungi that are able to hydrolyze cellulose which can produce cellulase enzymes. This study aims to obtain the potential and identify cellulolytic fungi from the soil under Swietenia macrophylla, Mimusops elengi and Polyalthia longifolia stands. Sampling was taken by making 3 plots on each type of stand measuring 20 m x 20 m with a soil depth of 0 – 20 cm. In each plot, 5 sampling points were made. The soil taken from each type is then composed. Isolation of cellulolytic fungi was carried out using Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) media. The potenstial of cellulolytic fungi is obtain by calculating the cellulolytic index. All isolates obtained were identified morphologically down to the genus level. The result showed that the potency of the cellulolytic fungi ranged from 0.05 to 1.36. The identification results that the isolates included the genus Aspergillus and Trichoderma.","PeriodicalId":479486,"journal":{"name":"Global Forest Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134919815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forest provides enormous environmental benefits through ecosystem services, but some forest management activities (nursery, thinning, pruning, pest control, and harvesting) have produced some negative impacts, such as pollution from machine utilization, fertilizer and pesticide, and water consumption. Furthermore, this paper describes the application of LCA in the forestry sector in Indonesia. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) approach to identify, screen, and inclusion the relevant articles. Identified 35 articles related to life cycle assessment in Indonesia's forestry sector, and only 11 articles were eligible for content analysis. The findings have shown that the research trend on LCA in the Indonesia forestry sector started in 2009, but since 2015 the number of publications has been relatively constant. The functional unit used in LCA varied (mass, energy, time, and area size). The system boundary also varied from cradle to gate, gate to gate, and cradle to grave. The environmental impacts found in the articles were global warming potential, acidification, and eutrophication parameters. In conclusion, LCA has been applied in Indonesia’s forestry sectors (roundwood production, furniture industries, biomass and wood pellet production). We propose that the future research direction is specific research in the site forest operation, such as seedling production, forest maintenance, and forest harvesting activities. We also recommend a more varied research scope to elaborate the LCA in private forest and non-timber forest product processes.","PeriodicalId":479486,"journal":{"name":"Global Forest Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134919823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
