The Gap Planting and Gap Cutting (GPGC) silvicultural system is expected to be one of the silvicultural systems to rehabilitate degraded natural forests. This study aims to determine the growth of white jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) planted in a gap and to determine the effect of field slope on the growth of white jabon. This research method used the census and measurement of the diameter and total height of the white jabon trees contained in 16 gaps with an area of 2000 each. The research results showed that the average diameter of the two-year-old white jabon trees was 7.42 cm and the average total height of the trees was 651.11 cm. Statistical tests showed that there were significant differences in the effect of field slopes on the white jabon growth. White Jabon grows better on steep slopes areas compared to flat and moderate slopes areas.

Coastal development leads to environmental degradation and threatens the preservation of coastal natural resources, particularly mangrove forests. This study aims to analyze the canopy cover density and changes in mangrove forest density levels using SPOT 6 indices. The analysis of mangrove forest land cover employs digital classification methods, specifically maximum likelihood and visual analysis . Density analysis utilizes vegetation indices from SPOT 6 imagery for the years 2016, 2019, and 2022. The percentage values of canopy cover in the field are determined using the hemispherical photography method. These values are used to test the accuracy of mangrove forest density levels.The accuracy test results show an overall accuracy of 83.33% for both NDVI and SAVI indices. The NDVI index is used in analyzing changes in the extent of mangrove forest density from 2016 to 2019 to 2022, with a transformation from moderate to dense density levels covering an area of 4.327 ha (29%). From 2019 to 2022, there is a decrease in the extent of dense density areas, transforming into moderate density levels, covering an area of 6.471 ha (45%). Additionally, from 2016 to 2022, a significant change occurs, with an area of 3.754 ha (26%) transitioning from sparse to moderate density levels.

The Covid 19 pandemic has had an impact on increasing the number of unemployed in Indonesia as a result of restrictions on people's mobility so that many business activities in various sectors have stopped or laid off some of their workers, except for the agricultural sector which has been relatively least affected by these social restrictions. The agroforestry community forest developed by many people in rural areas, even though it is not a labor-intensive activity, is still capable of absorbing labor, either directly from the farming business or through activities that appear as a trickle-down effect of the agroforestry farming business. The study, which was carried out in three locations, namely Burno Village in Lumajang Regency, Karyasari Village and Karcak Village in Bogor Regency, aims to calculate labor absorption from agroforestry community forestry businesses and related businesses from upstream to downstream (wood plant seed suppliers, wood intermediary traders and the sawmill industry) per hectare of forest and analyzing its possible contribution to reducing unemployment. The study results show that agroforestry community forest can absorb labor of 2.28 people per hectare in Burno Village, 2.08 people per hectare in Karcak Village and 1.93 people per hectare in Karyasari Village. With the results of these calculations, if agroforestry development is carried out on half the area (50%) of the abandoned land in Lumajang Regency which reaches around 12,000 ha, it will be possible to reduce the number of open unemployed by around 45%.

The formation of social forestry business groups that are evolving within the social forestry program is expected to enhance the business capacity for the well-being of farmers. This research aims to understand the management of social forestry in HKm Solok Radjo and formulate appropriate business development in HKm Solok Radjo. The method used is descriptive statistical analysis with 55 members of HKm Solok Radjo and 16 marketing institutions as respondents. The management of HKm Solok Radjo is carried out on forest products collected from the forest and cultivated plants on the HKm cultivation land. Agroforestry planting patterns are only found in coffee plants combined with Leucaena. The management carried out by farmers includes land preparation, seed procurement, planting, maintenance, harvesting, and marketing. Efficient marketing channels are characterized by shorter marketing chains, lower marketing margins, a higher farmer's share, and an evenly distributed profit-to-cost ratio. Therefore, farmers need to sell their agricultural products directly to consumers and process their products to add value.

Community participation is a crucial component in the management of ecotourism. Enhancing community participation is essential to increase the community's role in ecotourism activities, thereby improving community welfare by balancing ecological, social, and economic factors. This study aims to formulate strategies to strengthen community participation in the management of ecotourism in Situ Gunung. The analysis methods used include the analysis of community participation levels, stakeholder analysis, and SWOT analysis. The level of community participation in the management and development of Situ Gunung ecotourism falls into the moderate category. There are 22 stakeholders involved, consisting of 3 as key players, 12 as subjects, 5 as context setters, and 2 as crowd. The results of the study indicate that strengthening community participation can be effectively achieved by using strategies that maximize opportunities while optimizing strengths, such as intensive training and the establishment of tourism markets.

Social Forestry by KTH Satria Mandiri applies an agroforestry pattern, consisting of rasamala, puspa, and non-timber forest products such as coffee, sugar palm, avocado, and cardamom. Like most agroforestry farmers in Indonesia, agroforestry in KTH is not optimal, due to a lack of market access, expertise, and capital. To create good marketing, KTH needs a marketing strategy that can be implemented with the marketing mix concept. This research aims to identify the relationship of the marketing mix to the sales as well as formulate marketing strategies to improve marketing performance. The data was collected through a census of all farmers, using interview and observation. Research data analysis utilizes qualitative descriptive, and SWOT matrix for marketing strategy. The research results show the four marketing mixes applied in the sales process of agroforestry products by farmers at KTH Satria Mandiri. The type of product meets market demand; the selling price is reasonable; it's not necessary for special product distribution and promotion by each farmer. The marketing strategy recommended in the short term is the S-O strategy, and in the long term is the W-O strategy. Increasing production, competitive prices, effective promotions, and a wide marketing network, including the marketplace, can potentially increase product sales.

Forest rehabilitation plays an important role in increasing forest biomass and carbon stocks. However, there are limited studies that provide information on biomass growth of rehabilitates areas. This study aimed at developing stand biomass growth models for rehabilitated areas in Gunung Walat University Forest. The biomass data of Pinus merkusii stands were obtained by establishing and measuring 115 sample plots in various stand ages by applying the stratified systematic sampling method. The stand biomass growth models were developed by using regression analysis with independent variables consisting of age, diameter, height, basal area, and stand density. The results showed that the stand biomass of Pinus merkusii could be best estimated by stand age (A, year) and basal area (G, m²/ha) using the equation of W = 1,77A^0,21G^1,12 (R²adj = 99,27% and RMSE = 2,05 ton/ha). When the stand basal area data would not be available, the stand biomass could also be estimated using the equation of W = 0,06A^-0,52D^2,68 or W = 0,00057A^2,37N^1,25, which use the stand diameter (D, cm) and stand density (N, trees/ha) in addition to the stand age. These models are useful for the forest manager in estimating and monitoring the stand biomass growth of rehabiltated stands in Gunung Walat University Forest
