GEOGRAFI EKONOMI: KAJIAN PADA LINGKUNGAN LAHAN BASAH
Lahan gambut merupakan lahan yang berasal dari bentukan gambut serta vegetasi yang ada di atasnya dengan wilayah yang bertopografi rendah, dan mempunyai curah hujan yang tinggi (Resdati et al., 2021). Lahan gambut merupakan bentangan lahan yang berasal dari dekomposisi tidak sempurna yang dihasilkan oleh vegetasi pepohonan yang tergenang air sehingga bersifat anaerob. Material tersebut menumpuk dalam waktu yang lama sehingga membentuk lapisan-lapisan (Lesmana, 2022). Lahan gambut juga mempunyai pelbagai kendala seperti pH yang sangat rendah, dan kandungan ketersediaan hara yang juga sangat rendah (Pratiwi et al., 2020). Book chapter “Geografi Ekonomi: Penelitian Lingkungan Lahan Basah'' telah disusun dan dikembangkan sebagai buku pegangan untuk membantu mahasiswa dan dosen dalam mata kuliah Geografi Ekonomi, Lingkungan Lahan Basah. Buku ini mengajak pembaca untuk mengeksplorasi proses-proses yang menentukan pola spasial aktivitas ekonomi lahan basah pada skala global, nasional, regional, dan regional
Is Indonesian peatland loss a cautionary tale for Peru? A two-country comparison of the magnitude and causes of tropical peatland degradation
Key messagesIndonesia and Peru harbor some of the largest lowland tropical peatland areas. Indonesian peatlands are subject to much greater anthropogenic activity than Peru's resulting in high GHG and particulate emissions.We explored patterns of impact in both countries and compared predisposing factors. Impacts differ greatly among Indonesian regions and the Peruvian Amazon in the order: Sumatra > Kalimantan > Papua > Peru.All impacts, except fire, are positively related to population density.Current peatland integrity in Peru arises from a confluence of factors that has slowed development, with no absolute barriers protecting Peruvian peatlands from a similar fate to Indonesia's.If the goal is to maintain the integrity of Peruvian peatlands, government policies recognizing unique peatland functions and sensitivities will be necessary.
Tropical Peatlands
Tropical peatlands are found mostly in South East Asia, but also in Africa and in Central and South America. They and peat-swamp forests store large amounts of carbon and their destruction, particularly through the development of plantations for oil palm and other forms of agriculture, releases large quantities of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change. They are also complex and vulnerable ecosystems, home to great biodiversity and a number of endangered species such as the orang utan.The aim of this book is to introduce this little known but important and vulnerable ecosystem in a way that explains its long standing interaction with the global carbon cycle and how it is being d...
Ecological Systems
Earth is home to an estimated 8 million animal species, 600,000 fungi, 300,000 plants, and an undetermined number of microbial species. Of these animal, fungal, and plant species, an estimated 75% have yet to be identified. Moreover, the interactions between these species and their physical environment are known to an even lesser degree. At the same time, the earth’s biota faces the prospect of climate change, which may manifest slowly or extremely rapidly, as well as a human population set to grow by two billion by 2045 from the current seven billion. Given these major ecological changes, we cannot wait for a complete biota data set before assessing, planning, and acting to preserve the e...
Ecotourism Destination in Archipelago Countries
Managing tourism destination is a complex process. It should consider a lot of aspect in the society. Recently, tourism industry have to face a big challenge related to environment especially climate change. The archipelago countries which are consisted of small islands need to develop policies to mitigate the impact of climate change. In contrary, the impact of tourist travel, accommodation and activities would also contribute to the impact, on climate change. In business as usual scenario, the tourism sector’s growth and increase significantly give a contribution to climate change. Policy makers and the tourism industry must develop a range of strategies to adapt to the different ways in which climate change may affect tourism operations and opportunities. This book cover several articles based on library research and field research of case study about the link between ecotourism activities and issues of climate change in many destinations. This book is very important as reference for policy makers, practitioners, researcher, and student interested in the issues of tourism and climate change.
Sustainable Animal Agriculture
In order to meet increasing global demand for meat and animal by-products increasingly intensive animal production is necessary. Creating a sustainable system in animal agriculture that works in different production environments is a major challenge for animal scientists. This book draws together themes on sustainability that have emerged as the most pressing in recent years. Addressing practical topics such as air quality, manure management, animal feeds, production efficiency, environmental sustainability, biotechnology issues, animal welfare concerns, societal impacts and an analysis of the data used to assess the economic sustainability of farms.
Progress of Geo-Disaster Mitigation Technology in Asia
In this book, Asian scientists from Japan, China, Indonesia, Korea, Iran and Far East of Russia examine geo-disaster mitigation. It details disaster mitigation technology for building and pipeline safety and includes case studies from recent disasters."
