Judul: Estimation and biomass classification of lowland forest transition ecosystem in Jambi Province
Abstrak: The accurate information derived from high accuracy of remote sensing imagery analyses coupled with field observation data are required to develop a sound forest management. The study is mainly emphasized on assessment of the capabilities of remote sensing imageries to identify ecosystem types within the transitional ecosystem. Since, the predominant transition ecosystems found within the study area were secondary forest, jungle rubber, rubber plantation, oil palm plantation, and also other land cover such as mixed plantation and shrubs, therefore, the models developed were focused for those ecosystem types. Prior to any further analysis, this study was initiated to develop the biomass estimation model using 50 meter resolution of ALOS PALSAR image in transition ecosystem, Jambi Province. Biomass models were developed by analyzing the relationship between backscatter magnitude and field biomass. Backscatter magnitude from two polarization images, namely HH, HV, and ratio of HH/HV were analyzed simultaneously with field biomass. The best models established are AGB = 42069 exp (0.510 HV) and AGB = 1610 exp (-0.02 HV²) with R² of 52.3% and 50.8%, respectively. The models are then used to map out the biomass distribution within the transition ecosystem and to identify the factors affecting the magnitude of biomass content for each ecosystem types. The other aim of the study was to assess the dominant factors affecting the biomass classes in transition ecosystem. The result showed factors affecting biomass classes over transition ecosystem were human-induced and land cover index, and biophysical index. The proximity of biomass pool to the road and to village affected its condition and existence. Less accessible and more far from the road decreased the threat to biomass content. The closer distance to the village affected biomass as well. Biomass in transition ecosystem has probability to be well classed in three range of classes namely, low biomass content in a range of 0–50 ton/ha, middle biomass content in a range of 50- 150 ton/ha and high biomass content in range of above 150 ton/ha. Classed biomass was affected by the first principal component (PC1) where PC1 was the index affected by human activity related to biomass condition in transition ecosystem.

Abstrak: The increase of Green House Gases (GHG), particularly carbon dioxide in the atmospheric is one factor that affect the global warming. One cause of the increase was due to emission of carbon that came from deforestation and land degradation. In the mitigation process for reducing the impact of global warming, one crusial activity is estimation of carbon sequestered in the vegetation. Commonly, carbon content sequestered at vegetation is derived from biomass estimation either from above ground biomass or below ground biomass. In this study, the focus was on estimation of the above ground biomass using remote sensing technology. Nowdays, the development of remote sensing techniques had been widely used for providing various information related to natural resources. Indonesia which is located in the tropical region, have several handicaps in using optical remote sensing due to cloud covers during wet season and smoke and haze during dry season. For the above reason, this study emphasizes on the use of radar image technology for estimating the above ground biomass. In this study the used radar image is ALOS PALSAR (Advance Land Observing Sattelite – Phase Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar), that had been launched in Januari 2006 by the Japanese government. This sensor is an active microwave sensor which has capability to penetrate thick cloud layer. An active microwave sensor be accepted dan reflectanced by several diresction that usually called polarization. Polarization is the vector direction from electromagnetic microwave on vertical line (V) and horizontal line (H). The main objective of this study is to develop the biomass estimation model using 50 meter resolution of ALOS PALSAR image in concession of PT. Trisetia Intiga, Central Kalimantan. Biomass model was developed by analyzing the relationship between backscatter value and field biomass. Backscatter value from tree polarization images, namely HH, HV, and HH/HV were analyzed simultaneously with field biomassa that derived using Ketterings allometric equation. In this study the obtained stand structure equation, Y=2482 ℮-0,04X with negative exponential or J-reverse form having realtively steep slope. From the stand structure equation, then it can be concluded that stand condition within the study area is belonged to logged over area secondary forest, where tree density with diameter less or equal to 60 cm is relatively low in comparison with the smaller tree size. From 30 sample plots measured, the above ground biomass is ranged from 68,03 ton/ha to 599,43 ton/ha with coefficient of variation (CV) equal to 50,29%. Proportionaly, the highest biomass is come from tree biomass (64,97%), then followed by biomass of necromass (20,13%), pole biomass (12,16%), sapling biomass (2,75%), litter biomass (3,3x10-5), and undergrowth biomass (5x10-5). The correlation and regretion analyses between backscatter value and field biomass show that there are 38 statistically significant equations having R² ≥ 50%. However, the verification analysis found that only two models identified as the best models having no-significant X²-test, low RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), low bias, and mean deviation < 10%. The best models are: 1) AGB = 3880.40613930209exp (0.250184794335192 HV) with coefficient determination (R²) of 56% and RMSE of 0.47%. 2) AGB = 1022.27050600692 exp (-0.0114464608949151 HV²)

Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
