Abstract

Oil palm is the most efficient vegetable oil producer whose products can be used in various food, pharmaceutical, oleochemical, and biodiesel industries. Expanding the new planting area, starting from land clearing, and planting oil palm, to young and mature oil palm plants, will affect the abiotic environment around it, such as the characteristics of the soil and the organisms in it. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of changes in land use from secondary forest to oil palm plantations on the soil's chemical, physical, and biological properties. This research was conducted in the Dawas experimental plantation, Musi Banyuasin district, South Sumatra province. Parameters observed were soil physical properties, soil chemistry, plant vegetative and leaf nutrients, soil cover biomass, and soil mesofauna. From the research, it can be concluded that the chemical and physical properties of the soil are not significantly different in several land uses and land slopes. Slope and plant age did not significantly affect nutrient uptake and soil mesofauna.
