“…Natural resources, such as land, water, and organisms, are essential for farmers to carry out their agricultural activities effectively (Kouelo et al, 2020). These resources play a crucial role in the agricultural sector, particularly for farmers who heavily rely on these resources for their livelihood.…”

A livelihood strategy contains steps to do something wisely and appropriately to achieve goals. To survive, rubber farmers cannot rely solely on rubber plantations; they must look for alternatives outside rubber farming. This study aimed to describe the livelihood resources and analyze the livelihood strategies of rubber farmers' households in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan during the rainy season. This study used a survey method, and the respondents were rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan, with a total of 40 respondents. The data analysis employed for this research was a quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the ownership of resources among rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan was in the medium category. In the rainy season, the livelihood strategy was primarily focused on increasing yields by intensifying agricultural land through clearing. The extensification strategy was carried out by becoming laborers, accounting for 13 (32,5%) households, while the diversification strategy involved activities such as sand collection and fish catching, representing 8 (20%) households of the respondents. However, migration was not a chosen strategy among rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan.

“…On the contrary, the croplands have a lower erosion rate than gliricidae because the cropland has more undercover crops and grass that help combat the runoff both quantity and its velocity, which reduces the kinetic energy erosion. The cropping system significantly influenced the soil organic matter [25].…”

Wanagama forest is an integral part of a nearby village. This forest is left unprotected, so local people can easily enter the forest area to take non-timber forest products, including cropland and grass. The increasing demand for grass for feeding the cattle in Wanagama resulted in a larger area of grassland. Therefore, it is highly important to review and measure the erosion rate of the grassland compared to other land uses. This research aims to measure the erosion rates of four land uses and determine the correlation between rainfall and erosion at those four land uses: grassland, teak forest, crops land, and Gliricidia forest plantation. In measuring the erosion rates, this research uses four plots of 22 x 4 meters established at those four land uses. Each plot has two drums at the outlet. We took the erosion samples at every single rainfall event. To investigate the rainfall, there were two ombrometers installed in the field. The results show that the grassland has the lowest erosion rate (0.45 tons/ha) compared to a teak forest (0.5 tons/ha), crops land (0.84 tons/ha), and Gliricidia plantation forest (1.66 tons/ha). The rainfall has a positive coefficient correlation to erosion; the lowest was in grassland (r = 0.723), followed by teak forest (r = 0.828), Gliricidia (r = 0.830), and Crops land (0.873). The higher the rainfall depth will result in the higher erosion rate at the four land uses.
