Abstract

The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the effect of different seasons on dynamical of nutrients and the correlation between them in peat soil as a basic for water management plan. This study examined nutrient dynamics in peat soil facilitated by effective water management planning, focusing on a case study in Perigi, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Employing a combination of field observations and laboratory analyses, the research identified key nutrient fluctuations in various hydrological conditions. The different samples in each season (wet and dry) were collected based on the fluctuation of water table between 20–80 cm to identify the dynamics of nutrients. Results showed the positive correlation between pH and other nutrients which indicates the influence of ion H+ on enhancing the bond with other chemicals. The significant results of each nutrient between wet and dry seasons showed that increased rainfall can cause leaching of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This will support the successful optimization of water management which can significantly increase the availability of nutrients and soil fertility, leading to improved agricultural outcomes. The findings emphasize the importance of sustainable water practices in peatland areas to promote ecological health and agricultural productivity, providing valuable insights for policymakers and land managers.
