Pengelolaan pertanian berkelanjutan berorientasi pada peningkatan produktivitas tanaman dengan memperhatikan kelestarian lingkungan. Masalah pencemaran dan perusakan lingkungan hidup telah menjelma menjadi sebuah isu global yang diyakini secara internasional. Hampir 69% tanah pertanian di Indonesia dikategorikan sudah rusak parah (tandus) yang disebabkan penggunaan pupuk kimia dan pestisida yang berlebihan. Kondisi seperti ini menjadi salah satu penyebab Indonesia menjadi sangat rentan terhadap dampak perubahan iklim. Kerusakan lingkungan bisa diatasi dengan pengembangan sistem produksi yang mengutamakan keanekaragaman hayati pertanian dan meniru proses alamiah dalam ekosistem alam. Caranya ...
This book highlights latest research advance in the field of Radioscience, Equatorial Atmospheric Science and Environment as part of the International Symposium for Equatorial Atmosphere celebrating the 21st Anniversary of the Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) , organized by Research Center for Climate and Atmosphere (PRIMA) of National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). The symposium provides a scientific platform for researchers and professionals to discuss ideas and current issues as well as to design the solutions in the areas of space science, ocean science, atmospheric science, , environmental science, material science, and other related disciplines.

This book is dedicated to the reuse of waste and residues from the agricultural sector. Plant residues, as well as animal manure and residues from animal breeding, contain useful elements that can be processed for production of fertilizers, compost for soil recultivation, and biofuels. The emerging energy and resources crisis calls for development of sustainable reuse of waste and residues. This book contains eight chapters divided into four sections. The first section contains the introductory chapter from the editor. The second section is related to the preparation of fertilizers and compost for soil amelioration from agricultural residues and waste water. The third section considers the use of agricultural waste for solid biofuels and biogas. The fourth section discusses sustainability and risk assessment related to the use of agricultural waste and residues.
High surface area, a microporous structure, and a high degree of surface reactivity make activated carbons versatile adsorbents, particularly effective in the adsorption of organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous solutions. Activated Carbon Adsorption introduces the parameters and mechanisms involved in the activated carbon adsorption
Responsible for a high proportion of the world's crop losses, weedstake away food that the world badly needs. They decrease thequality and quantity of vegetable fibers, wool, and hides, andinterfere with fishing, irrigation, hydroelectric power production,and the movement of shipping vessels. In order to recognize thetrue magnitude of the weed problem, and to be better equipped todesign effective weed control methods, it is vital to identify andlearn as much as possible about the many different species of thisdestructive agricultural predator. The culmination of four decades of global research, World Weedspresents comprehensive and up-to-date information on over 100weeds--addressing recent c...
Education in this country has evolved dramatically from the days of one teacher in a one-room schoolhouse. Today, student learning is no longer confined to a physical space. Computers and the Internet have broken through school walls, giving students greater opportunities to personalise their education, access distant resources, receive extra help or more-challenging assignments, and engage in learning in new and unique ways. This book provides a new look at the relatively new enterprise of online learning in the K-12 arena, which is expanding rapidly, with increasing numbers of providers offering services and more students choosing to participate. As with any education program, online learn...
The Ecology of Sulawesi is a comprehensive ecological survey of one of Indonesia's least populated and most diverse islands. It is hoped that it will prove useful to resource managers, ecologists, environmental scientists and local government personnel, and be enlightening to Sulawesi's inhabitants and visitors. Sulawesi is one of the least-known islands of Indonesia, and wise environmental management, including the proper assessment of environmental management, including the proper assessment of environmental impacts arising from development projects and other activities, is currently very difficult.
First Steps in Research and Statistics is a new, very accessible approach to learning about quantitative methods. No previous knowledge or experience is assumed and every stage of the research process is covered. Key topics include: * Formulating your research questions * How to choose the right statistical test for your research design * Important research issues, such as questionnaire design, ethics, sampling, reliability and validity * Conducting simple statistics to explore relationships and differences in your data * Using statistics to explore relationships and differences in your data * Writing up your research report and presenting statistics Simple and helpful worksheets and flow diagrams guide you through the research stages. Each chapter contains exercises with answers to check whether you've understood.
