The Diversity Of Levels Of P-available And Soil Cadd In The Agroforestry System In The Buffer Zone Of The Gunung Leuser National Park
The Diversity of Levels of P-Available and Soil CADD in the Agroforestry System in the Buffer Zone of the Gunung Leuser National Park
Introduction
The Gunung Leuser National Park is a protected area located in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. The park is known for its rich biodiversity and is home to a variety of plant and animal species. The buffer zone of the park is an area that surrounds the national park and is used for agricultural purposes. The agroforestry system is a type of agricultural system that integrates trees and other plants to increase productivity and sustainability. In this study, we aim to explore the levels of P-available and soil CADD in various agroforestry systems in the buffer zone of the Gunung Leuser National Park.
Background
P-available is a type of phosphorus that is available to plants and is essential for plant growth. Soil CADD is an indicator of soil fertility that directly affects agricultural productivity. The selection of plants in the agroforestry system affects the quality of the soil and the availability of nutrition, especially P-available and CADD. A good P-available level is very important for plant growth, while soil CADD is an indicator of soil fertility that directly affects agricultural productivity.
Methodology
The research location is located in Telagah Village, Sei Bingei District, Langkat Regency. A data analysis method known as nested classification was used, with a focus on one level, namely the agroforestry system based on the levels of P-available and soil CADD levels. The results showed that the differences in agroforestry systems significantly affect the levels of P-available, and soil CADD also showed a significant effect on several agroforestry systems in the buffer zone of the Gunung Leuser National Park.
Results
The results of this study showed that the agroforestry system that has the most approximate P-soil levels is close to the condition of the forest is agroforestry I (35%sweet skin) and agroforestry E (Ateng coffee and 80%ginger). Meanwhile, the agroforestry system that is almost close to the condition of the forest consists of agroforestry C (rubber 70%), H (20%sweet skin), A (Ateng Coffee and 60%Ginger), B (Robusta Coffee 55%), F (Ginger 57 %), G (55%ginger), and D (55%ginger).
In the case of soil cadd, the agroforestry system that approaches the condition of the forest is the agroforestry E (Ateng coffee and 80%ginger). Agroforestry systems that are almost close to the condition of the forest include agroforestry B (Robusta coffee 55%), H (sweet skin 20%), C (rubber 70%), A (Ateng Coffee and 60%Chili), I (35%Skin ), D (55%ginger), F (57%ginger), and G (55%ginger).
Discussion
The findings of this study show that the selection of plants in the agroforestry system affects the quality of the soil and the availability of nutrition, especially P-available and CADD. A good P-available level is very important for plant growth, while soil CADD is an indicator of soil fertility that directly affects agricultural productivity. The presence of plants such as cinnamon and rubber in other agroforestry systems makes an important contribution in maintaining the balance of soil nutrition.
Conclusion
This study provides insight into the diversity of levels of P-available and soil CADD in the agroforestry system in the buffer zone of the Gunung Leuser National Park. The findings of this study show that the selection of plants in the agroforestry system affects the quality of the soil and the availability of nutrition, especially P-available and CADD. The presence of plants such as cinnamon and rubber in other agroforestry systems makes an important contribution in maintaining the balance of soil nutrition.
Recommendations
This study recommends that farmers choose optimal agroforestry systems to support the sustainability of their farmers, while maintaining the sustainability of forest ecosystems. The study also recommends that further research be conducted in this field to provide more insight into the diversity of levels of P-available and soil CADD in the agroforestry system.
Limitations
This study has several limitations. The study was conducted in a specific location, and the results may not be generalizable to other locations. The study also relied on a limited number of samples, which may not be representative of the entire population.
Future Research Directions
This study provides a foundation for further research in this field. Future research should aim to explore the diversity of levels of P-available and soil CADD in other agroforestry systems. The study should also aim to investigate the effects of different plant species on the quality of the soil and the availability of nutrition, especially P-available and CADD.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this study provides insight into the diversity of levels of P-available and soil CADD in the agroforestry system in the buffer zone of the Gunung Leuser National Park. The findings of this study show that the selection of plants in the agroforestry system affects the quality of the soil and the availability of nutrition, especially P-available and CADD.
