& Key message This study assessed the effect of ecological variables on tree allometry and provides more accurate aboveground biomass (AGB) models through the involvement of large samples representing major islands, biogeographical

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah mutasi, motivasi, dan kompetensi memberikan pengaruh terhadap kinerja auditor. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan responden dengan jumlah sebanyak 100 auditor. Hasil kuisioner diolah dengan menggunakan Program SPSS untuk mengetahui pengaruh secara parsial dan simultan variabel mutasi, motivasi, dan kompetensi terhadap kinerja auditor serta mendapatkan persamaan regresi berganda. Hasil analisa berdasarkan hasil olah statistic menunjukkan  bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari Mutasi (X1), Motivasi(X2), dan Kompetensi(X3) secara parsial dan secara simultan terhadap Kinerja Auditor (Y).

GENETIC PARAMETER ESTIMATES FOR GROWTH TRAITS IN AN EUCALYPTUS UROPHYLLA S.T. BLAKE PROGENY TEST IN TIMOR ISLAND.Genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits of Ampupu (Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake) progeny test grown in Southern Central Timor -East Nusa Tenggara Province, Timor Island. When the trial was one year old data were collected from 45 half-sib open pollinated families and assessed. There were genetic variations in height and diameter among families of E. urophylla. Growth traits had moderate heritability, both individually and in family, i.e. 0.28 and 0.55 for height and 0.41 and 0.66 for diameter, respectively. Genetic correlation between height and diameter was strong (0.96). However, the estimation of genetic parameter should be interpreted carefully since the trial was very young. Re-assessment of the trial should be carried out periodically to provide better understanding of the species regarding the dynamic of the genetic interaction between the species and its environment, effective age of selection and prediction of genetic gain.

The research purposes: (1) Producing enriched compost of oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) with coastal mud and rice husk biochar that is suitable for application to acid sulphate soils, (2) Getting the best dosage to increase acid sulphate soil fertility. The method used: complete random design (CRD) factorial pattern, the first factor composition of enriched oil palm EFB compost, second factor: doses of compost enriched. Data analysis using analysis of Varian (ANOVA), significant differences continued with Honestly Signiant Difference Test (HSD). The variables observed were: soil pH H2O, Each-Al, Total-N, Bray-P and each-K. The results showed: compost oil palm EFB treatment significantly affected the each-K, whilst did not significantly affect the pH H2O, Total-N, Bray-P and each-Al. Although enriched compost treatment did not significantly, and the finding is the treatment enriched compost trend to increased pH H2O, Total-N and Bray-P.

Sandalwood (cendana, Santalum album Linn.) is an endemic species of East Nusa Tenggara Province, which not only has economic value, but also as a symbol that the united of people or community and culture wisdom in East Nusa Tenggara Province. Sandalwood management had been strated many years ago; it has experienced ups and downs due to various factors, such as unsupported regional regulation on the efforts of developing sandalwood plantation. This research aimed to study sandalwood habitat and its population distribution in private land. Data were analysed with descriptive quantitative analysis. Sampling plots were placed purposively to determine important value index (IVI) and competition index (CI). Data were collected through interview with the stakeholders, direct survey, and desk study of secondary data. The result showed that sapling and seedling stages dominated the structure of sandalwood plantation in Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS), Timor Tengah Utara (TTU), and Belu Regencies. Then followed by poles and trees. IVI was high on every growth level of sandalwood in the three regencies, but CI was low with 0.18 for TTS, 0.07 for TTU, and 0.10 for Belu Regency.
