Spatial distribution of brackishwater pond soil has a vital role in the system of bioenvironment including brackishwater pond environment. This research was aimed to determine the spatial distribution of brackishwater pond soil characteristics in Pekalongan City, Central Java Province. A total of 59 sampling points each with two different soil depth samplings were determined by simple random method.
Carrying capacity for brackishwater pond is the main concept to be developed for the management of natural resources and the environment in a sustainable manner, it also should be applicated in Berau Regency. A study had been conducted to determine the carrying capacity of brackishwater ponds in the Derawan Islands and Sambaliung sub-districts, Berau. Considered factors in the analysis of environmental carrying capacity is the topography and hydrology, soil conditions, water quality and climate condition. Weighting system had been used as analysis of the carrying capacity which refers to the modification of Poernomo (1992). The study showed that the carrying capacity in those two sub-districts was similar, which was 62.52% respectively, so the ponds’ area that can be supported were : 2,915.62 and 304.90 ha. The main factors that cause low carrying capacity for brackishwater pond in study area were the high potential soil acidity, high content of toxic elements, low nutrient and high rainfall.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
