Abstract:
Various human activities that involve many activities such as forest clearing, logging, mining, clearing of agricultural and urban land can have a negative impact on the environment in the form of damage to forest vegetation as animal habitat and the possibility of loss of rare endemic flora/fauna species as a source of nuftah plasma. potential, damage to the water system (watershed), increase the rate of surface erosion, reduce land productivity and stability as well as the biodiversity of flora and fauna. To support the success of the revegetation and rehabilitation of degraded lands, this study discusses the role and prospects of benefecial microbes such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root nodule-forming N-fixing bacteria (Bradyrhizobium/Rhizobium) which are alternative strategies that need to be tried. and developed. The role of mycorrhizal fungi and Bradyrhizobium/Rhizobium bacteria in accelerating the growth rate, increasing the quality and viability of forestry plant seedlings on nutrient-poor marginal lands has been widely demonstrated.
