“…According to Azim and Okada (2014), the AHFR is classified as a tropical rainforest with a short dry period of 1-2 months, from June to July. The vegetation composition in the AHFR is dominated by dipterocarp trees with subtype 'Kelat-Kedondong'-Mix dipterocarp, and this forest is dominated by a high density of small and medium-size trees (Aditya et al 2020;Ibrahim 1999;Lepun 2007).…”

“…Almost all soil temperature regime in Malaysia is classified to isohyperthermic. Based on chemical and physical data analysis from Aditya et al (2020), field research shows that soil profile at P1 until P5 in all depths of 60-150 cm indicated an accumulation of clay textures. The results also showed a base saturation value of less than 50% on the entire horizon at P1 and P5.…”

“…So, this soil has unique characteristics in morphological properties. Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve (AHFR) is a tropical forest with rich biodiversity dominated by dipterocarp trees (Aditya et al 2020). Studying the characteristics of soil morphology in toposequent conditions is necessary because we can find out the differences in soil from different heights and the effects of erosion, transportation, and deposition on the soil in this location.…”

Morphology in forest soils has developed over a long time due to the non-intensive management of forest soils. Damage to forest soil occurs when there is logging activity, fire, or land use change. Some forest was used as productive land for example agroforestry and forest production. As with landuse in agriculture, intensive management of forests can also reduce soil productivity. Inaccuracy forest land use would cause environmental or economic damage, so basic soil management data in forest areas is needed. However, the soil morphology of the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve (AHFR) in Malaysiahas never been observed. The objective of this study is to assess the soil characteristic and soil morphological properties of theAHFR. Studying the characteristics of soil morphology in toposequent conditions is necessary to find out the differences in soil from different heights and the effects of erosion, transportation, and deposition on the soil. This study was conducted in the AHFR, Puchong, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Peninsular Malaysia. Mapping of the area under investigation was carried out by conventional soil survey techniques with a physiographic approach using maps with a scale of 1:30,000. The results showed that AHFRhas some different soil morphological characteristics and classification in subgroupamong five different slope positions with similar soil order, which is a Ultisol soil. The soil in the AHFRis formed from highly weathered soil due to high rainfall in this location.The results of this study are important for soil development, identification management, and land use priority such as erosion control on steep-slope forest areas, regeneration and reforestation, and it can also be used for forest education, practice, research, and training activities.Keywords: Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, forest soil, soil morphology, toposequent, Ultisol soil

“…Tropical rainforests of Borneo, the third largest island in the world have undergone a very drastic transformation of agricultural development over the past two decades that lead to plant habitat destruction and the decreasing of species diversity and loss of genetic diversity. The conversion of forests to commercial plantations, excessive deforestation, which can lead to forest land degradation, results in a permanent reduction of native species [1] and the threat of extinction of plant species increases dramatically [2]. As a result of changes to the forest upper structures and forest soil profile, its' environmental condition and microclimatic also influence the understory plant structural and functional component of forests ecosystem features [3].…”

Preserving and documenting ethnobotanical knowledge and plant use practices by ethnic groups is an urgent responsibility. This study aims to determine and document the ecological requirements and the distribution of Piper borneense varieties, their growth habits, and their morphological characteristics. This study was conducted in Belaga, Tatau and Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The plant samples were collected, Global Positioning System (GPS) readings and ecological conditions were recorded, and plant samples were analysed. Three different varieties were identified, and variety 1 was found to be widespread in the study area. The distribution of Piper species variety was greatly influenced by human activities and natural factors, while the growth habit was greatly influenced by soil's organic substrate, light intensity and soil moisture. Changes to forest environment area need to be monitored so that the growth of wild piper community and its growth habits are easily understood for sustainable forest management.

Community service activities in the form of introducing technology in the manufacture of compost made from mango leaves are an effort to take advantage of the potential that exists in the surrounding environment in the form of remnants of organic waste that will be used as fertilizer. This community service activity was carried out in Oro-Oro Ombo Village, Rembang District, Pasuruan Regency. The method used in this activity is provision of learning materials in the form of socialization and demonstration. Providing training materials on the manufacture of organic fertilizer made from mango leaves. Demonstration activities were carried out by practicing organic fertilizers and introducing the tools and materials used which were directly guided by the lecturers of the Faculty of Agriculture, UPN "Veteran" East Java. The provision of materials and demonstrations in the manufacture of fertilizers provides benefits to the knowledge of farmers in utilizing plant remains and mango leaf waste. The awareness of the farming community in making fertilizers independently can reduce expenditures in purchasing chemical fertilizers and can increase additional income from the sale of organic fertilizers
