Judul: Pengukuran Emisi CO₂ dari Tanah Pekarangan Untuk Wilayah Perkotaan
Abstrak: CO₂ emissions generated from below the ground surface is derived from plant root respiration and activity of organismes in the soil. The amount of CO₂ emissions between different fields, depends on the diversity and density of existing vegetation, soil type and managed. The purpose of this study was to measure the CO₂ emissions from garden soil for urban areas and compare the levels of CO₂ emissions generated by land vegetated with non-vegetation land on mineral soil. The measurement results indicate CO₂ emissions generated before treatment from highest to lowest sorted plot 1, plot 4, plot 2 and plot 3. But after the treatment, CO₂ emissions are sorted from highest to lowest is the plot 2 (PO and GM), plot 3 (PO), plot 1 (soil) and plot 4 (PO and JP). Emission factors affecting changes before and after treatment is soil temperature, soil moisture, organic content, plant age and land cover type.

Judul: CO2 Emissions from Acacia Industrial Plantation Forest Peatlands in Riau Province
Abstrak: This study aims to determine the amount of CO2 emissions from soil (Root Cut and Control Plot) and relations with subsidence, rainfall, soil temperature, soil moisture and wáter table on peatlands Forest Plantation Industry in Langgam, Riau. CO2 emissions from soil was measured using closed chamber method. CO2 sample capture done before closed the chamber (0 minute) and after 6 minutes closed. Measurements result of CO2 emission cumulative from soil in September 2008 to July 2009 was 2563.16 mgCm-2h-1 for the Root Cut plot and 2629.41 mgCm-2h-1 for the Control plot. Based on the results of regression and correlation analysis, factors such as rainfall, subsidence, soil temperature, soil moisture and water table have an influence on the production of CO2. Correlation and regression value between CO2 cumulative and subsidence cumulative with the type of multy positions was (R2=0.86 ; p=0.00) for the Root Cut plot and (R2=0.84 ; p=0.00) for the Control plot, with a negative correlation value of each (-0.92 ; -0.91). Multy positions measurement between CO2 emissions from soil was corerelated with rainfall at (R2=0.50 ; p=0.015) for the Root Cut plot and (R2=0.59 ; p=0.004) for the Control plot, with a negative corelation value of each (-0.71 ; - 0.79). The relationship of CO2 emissions rate from the soil with soil temperature by multy positions type was (R2=0.51 ; p=0.010) for the Root Cut plot and (R2=0.35 ; p=0.026) for the Control plot, with a negative corelation value of each (0.73 ; 0.66). The relationship of CO2 emissions rate from the soil with soil moisture by multy positions type was (R2=0.45 ; p=0.023) for the Root Cut plot and (R2=0.39 ; p=0.039) for the Control plot, with a negative corelation value of each (-0.67 ; -0.63). The relationship of CO2 emissions rate from the soil with wáter table by multy positions type was (R2=0.36 ; p=0.050) for the Root Cut plot and (R2=0.43 ; p=0.028) for the Control plot, with a negative correlation value of each (-0.60 ; -0.66).

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Tubuh Buaya Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii)
Abstrak: Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan buaya besar yang rentan punah dan hanya dapat ditemukan di rawa dataran rendah, danau dan sungai di Sumatera bagian timur, Kalimantan dan Jawa Barat (Indonesia), Serawak, Semenanjung Malaysia (Malaysia) serta Brunei Darussalam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong yang dikaitkan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian ini menggunakan satu set preparat skelet tubuh buaya senyulong. Parameter penelitian meliputi pengamatan bentuk bagian skelet yang khas, mengukur panjang dan lebar tulang, serta dibandingkan dengan skelet tubuh jenis buaya lain, biawak air (Varanus salvator) maupun literatur yang terkait dengan sistem skelet tubuh hewan. Karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong relatif mirip pada jenis buaya lain. Beberapa karakteristik yang ditemukan yaitu, proatlas pada os atlas, os axis hanya memiliki zygapophysis caudalis, bagian lateral dari ossa vertebrae cervicales yang dilengkapi dengan cervical ribs, memiliki jumlah costae sternalis yang banyak, rangkaian ossa gastralia pada abdomen, ossa vertebrae lumbales memiliki zygapophysis cranialis dengan sudut >90o dari sumbu tubuh. Selain itu, os vertebrae caudalis I memiliki caput cranial dan caudal, ossa vertebrae caudales memiliki processus transversus yang semakin memendek ke arah caudal. Di medioventral tulang ini ditemukan ossa chevron dengan hemal arch sampai menjelang akhir ossa vertebrae caudalis. Skelet tubuh buaya senyulong memiliki hubungan yang kokoh dan kompak untuk menunjang fleksibilitas tubuh untuk berjalan, berenang dan berburu mangsa
