“…Interestingly, both canopy and litter covers are capable of significantly reduce the kinetic force of raindrops onto the soil surface and hence, surface runoff and soil erosion (Sun et al, 2018). Besides, soil erosion and surface runoff are associated with the "soil infiltration capacity" under the vegetation and litter (Chu et al, 2019). The tree canopy plays a special role as intercepting rainfall that dissipates the kinetic energy of the rainfall upon soil percolation (Gessesse & Teklu, 2011).…”

Development of forest plantation is mainly intended to provide income opportunity and to ensure the improvement of the socioeconomics of society. Sabah Softwood Berhad (SSB) is one of the private companies that pioneered the development and commercialization of fast growing timber species and forest plantation. The Eucalyptus plantation in SSB was initiated in response to the emergence of fungal disease that implicated the environment. Nevertheless, the impacts of plantation to the environment regarding water use, soil erosion, nutrient loss, pest and disease, biodiversity, soil quality and hydrology are reviewed. The disputes among various scientists over the physiological and plantation aspects of Eucalyptus, especially their implication towards the environment are also discussed. This paper aims to present information on the impacts posed by the Eucalyptus plantation that will guide the planters and policy makers in facilitating a management plan to mitigate the impacts of this species to the environment.

“…This could not only affect the biodiversity in the plantation that reduces species richness of herbaceous plant, thus leaving the ground surface exposed. Under this circumstance, the impact of rainfall can reduce the porosity of the soil, thereby increases surface runoff (Chu et al, 2019).…”

“…E. urophylla mixed plantation with only 50% of E. urophylla proportion, potentially grows 75% higher than in the monoculture. Monoculture plantations tend to have higher surface runoff, soil erosion and nutrient losses than the mixed species, therefore the mixed-species offer a multipurpose plantation especially in the context of postmining closure land rehabilitation (Chu et al 2019). To prevent soil nutrient deficiency and site degradation, the mixing with N-fixing species are recommended.…”

Abstract. Pratiwi, Narendra BH, Mulyanto B. 2020. Soil properties improvement and use of adaptive plants for land rehabilitation of post tin mining closure in Bangka Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 505-511. Indonesia is still facing several environmental problems due to improper mining activities, such as tin mining activities in Bangka island. The area of post tin mining closure in this island has left tailing area over unstructured overburden. This condition causes infertile land, which is indicated by low physical, chemical, and biological soil properties for supporting plant growth. Therefore, amelioration material is needed to increase soil fertility in rehabilitating this area. The purposes of the study are to improve soil properties and the use of adaptive plants for land rehabilitation of post tin mining closure. The observation was carried out on plots with ameliorant materials treatment, and no treatment as a control plot. Adaptive plants used are trembesi (Samanea saman), sengon buto (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), and ampupu (Eucalyptus urophylla); while ameliorant materials were mixture of overburden materials, NPK fertilizer, lime (dolomite), topsoil material, and compost, with proportion 49%, 1%, 10%, 20%, 20% of media weight respectively. The results showed that three years after planting, ameliorant treatment plots showed growth percentage of E. urophylla, E. cyclocarpum, and S. saman as 96.1%, 73.4%, and 52.4% respectively, while in the control plots were 94.1%, 93.8%, and 35.0% respectively. The ameliorant treatment plots as compared to control plots, showed a significantly different effect on the growth parameters, both height and diameter for S. saman and E. cyclocarpum, while for E. urophylla, although the ameliorant treatment showed better growth parameters, but the differences were not significant.

“…In some counties, enrichment planting of native species in forest plantation of exotic species may be practiced as replacing the stand to avoid invasion of exotic species into natural forest. Chu et al (2019) reported that enriched planting of native tree species in a 16-yearold Eucalyptus plantation in South China showed significantly reducing surface water flow, soil erosion and nutrient losses.…”

The research assessed water storage in a dry dipterocarp forest (DDF) with enriched 34-year-old pine planting and the role of pine. Plant surveys were carried out using 10, 40×40 m2 plots, and data were obtained by measuring tree stem girths and heights. Plant features, biomass, and stored water amounts were measured. Fresh plant samples of abundant species were taken one time per month from January to December 2018. Three soil pits were made in three plots, and soil samples along 100 cm depth were taken on the same days of collecting plant samples for studying fied capacity, water content and water amount. The DDF was divided into three stands based on the most dominant tree species; Shorea obtusa, Dipterocarpus tuberculatus, and Dipterocarpus obtusifolius. The forest was composed of 86 species with biomass at 101.62 Mg/ha and contained an average water amount of 88.01 m3/ha. The water amount in biomass varied with sampling times from 58.74 to 111.83 m3/ha. The average MWHC of 100 cm soil was estimated to be 5,113.74 m3/ha. The water amount in soil also varied with sampling times from 3,651.50 to 4,481.06 m3/ha. As a result, the total water amount in plant biomass and soil (ecosystem) of the DDF varied in a range from 3,735.0 to 4,558.67 m3/ha. The pine contributed to 30.87 m3/ha (35.07% of the total) and could increase by 64.92% the water storage potential of the forest, and thus these results support the concept of pine enrichment planting in the poor DDF.
