The morphological condition of the land plays an important role in determining the quality of growth of oil palm plants. Integrated management of oil palm plantations is a key factor in increasing productivity. Analysis of land morphology in oil palm plantations is a crucial first step. The objectives of this study were (1) to characterize land morphology with LiDAR implementation, (2) to explain the LiDAR mechanism in the NDVI class classification used for determining the oil palm Vegetation Index, and (3) to provide ideas to optimize oil palm productivity. The study was conducted using the image interpretation method from the acquisition of LiDAR data which has a resolution of 3 x 3 cm in the form of DEM and orthophoto to be able to perform land surface morphology analysis (MPL) and NDVI flatfoot. The data needed in this study is Orthophoto, which is used to crosscheck field conditions, plant canopy conditions, and populations of plants per block. NDVI processing is used to determine the Vegetation Index to interpret the health of oil palm plants. The results showed that LiDAR technology can be used to determine the health of oil palm plants. The overall accuracy and reliability value of NDVI reached 88.33% and 88.13%, respectively. This shows that the value of NDVI can predict the health of oil palm plants and can be used to monitor them effectively.

Indonesia possesses palm oil as one of its strategic commodities, and it plays a crucial role in its economic growth. Over the years, the expansion of land and the production of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) of palm oil has consistently increased, accompanied by a rise in land area and crude palm oil (CPO) production. The pivotal role of Indonesia as the world’s largest palm oil producer must be highlighted through sustainability studies, especially in environmental aspects. Life cycle assessment is a technique utilized to evaluate the environmental implications of products, processes, and services, spanning their complete life cycle from the extraction of raw materials to waste management. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) encompasses various environmental impact categories, providing a comprehensive understanding of the ecological contribution of a product or service. This research assesses the environmental impact of oil palm plantation activities in Riau province, Indonesia. The research’s boundary is set to a cradle-to-gate analysis within the oil palm plantation subsystem. The Life Cycle Assessment was conducted utilizing the SimaPro 9.5.0.0 software employing the ReCiPe 2016 method. The total emissions generated during the production process of 5 tons of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) amount to 1634.22 kg CO2 eq/5 tons of FFB. The major contributors to emissions are the production and use of inorganic fertilizers. Specifically, the types of fertilizers responsible for the high greenhouse gas emissions are KCl, followed by phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers. Besides the potential for global warming, human carcinogenic toxicity is another potential impact, primarily from fertilization. The findings in this study can serve as scientific evidence in formulating solutions for sustainable oil palm plantations, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An environmentally conscious approach to lowering emissions requires meticulous scrutiny and implementation of precision farming. It chiefly involves keeping a close watch on the quantity of fertilizer used in plantation settings and promoting using fertilizers with lower carbon footprints.

Palm oil plantations contribute to global trade for affordable vegetable oil supply. To ensure sustainability, there’s a growing global emphasis on understanding and preserving plantation biodiversity and its diverse ecosystem functions. Based on biodiversity indicators, this study aims to identify and examine research trends related to palm oil plantations’ ecological roles or ecosystem functions. We obtained a total of 959 articles from the Web of Science. The utilization of systematic literature review methodology and bibliometric analysis allows for addressing the research inquiries’ focal points. Research trends on palm oil biodiversity and ecosystem function from 2010 to 2023 correlate with palm production. Quadrant 3 in bibliometric maps draws attention to rarely discussed yet impactful topics, such as the effects of deforestation and ecosystem services, which in turn prompts further research. Boxplot analysis reveals a greater focus on insect research, including ants, butterflies, and spiders, compared to avian studies.

The Balkan Peninsula presents a unique and compelling case study for the harnessing of renewable energy sources (RES) to meet growing energy demands sustainably. This paper investigates the current status and future potential of RES deployment across eleven countries in the region: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia. In this comprehensive analysis, we begin by providing an overview of the installed capacity of RES in these countries for the year 2021, drawing upon data from reputable sources such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and national energy agencies. Building upon this foundation, we delve into an in-depth examination of the wind and solar energy potential in the region, utilizing geographic information system (GIS) data and modelling techniques to assess resource availability and feasibility. Furthermore, we explore two distinct scenarios for maximizing solar energy deployment in the Balkans. Firstly, we analyse the implications of covering the entire territory of each country with solar panels, estimating the potential electricity production and its relation to current consumption levels. Secondly, we use a more pragmatic approach, focusing on the strategic deployment of solar panels in areas with the highest energy generation potential, while considering land use constraints and environmental considerations. In addition to evaluating the technical and economic aspects of RES deployment, we also quantify the environmental benefits in terms of carbon emissions reduction. By comparing emissions from renewable sources with those from conventional fossil fuel-based electricity generation, we highlight the significant contribution of RES to mitigating climate change and achieving sustainability goals. In conclusion, this paper underscores the immense potential of renewable energy in the Balkans and emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and policy interventions to unlock this potential. By leveraging the region’s abundant natural resources and embracing innovative technologies, the Balkan countries can chart a course towards a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable energy future.

The study of waste materials pellets by some thermal analysis methods represents an important area of research and industrial practice. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) were used for this study. Five different types of pellets were analyzed at heating rates of 5°C/min and 10°C/min up to a temperature of 750°C. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the thermal properties of pellets and their behavior under different temperature conditions. This analytical approach not only provides important information for improving the quality and efficiency of pellets but also can be beneficial for optimizing their production processes. The results obtained are expected to be relevant for the development of innovative solutions in areas such as the energy sector, manufacturing, and biomass industries while helping to achieve sustainable resource use and waste reduction.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host when administered in adequate amounts. Currently, seven genera are used for their probiotic’s potential. Strains having the desired characteristics are associated with plenty of health benefits. Recent literature shows that different plant and vegetable oils are associated with probiotics. Other reports indicated their various aspects. For instance, the effect of probiotics on plant-based oil, edible oil, probiotics, the use of oils for probiotics encapsulation, etc., are documented. It is also reported that probiotics from vegetable sources and plant oil have some advancements, such as vegetarian and lactose-intolerant people using them. The multidimensional association between probiotics and vegetable oils attracts researchers to explore it. This research area is growing fast, but more limited research data is needed. Hence, this literature study was performed to identify the relationship, pros, and cons and provide recent insight into the literature for the researchers. Materials were collected by searching the related terminologies on different websites, finding the downloaded literature, and analyzing it critically. The results were presented as described by the authors, and a correlation was found that helps to enhance the field. Collectively, it was found that probiotics and plant and vegetable oils have a multifactorial relationship, and both can increase the effects of one another.
