Impact of Watershed Restoration Based Agroforestry on Soil Quality

The upper Solo Wonogiri Watersheed size of the catchment is 135,000 hectares. It is divided into six sub watershed, i.e. the Keduang, Temon, Alang, Wuryantoro, Wiroko, and Upper Solo. The fact that occur in areas upper Solo watershed the zone of distric Wonogiri Central of Java, is currently large (> 90%) is the cultivation of seasonal crops with crops such as cassava, peanuts and not cultivation techniques cropping (Supriyadi, 2007). The implementation of restoration in subwatershed is one of several of cultivation system method that consider the importance of land sustainability. The objective of this research was to identify appropriate indicators for assessing the impact of longterm agroforestry systems on soil quality in areas upper Solo watershed the zone of distric Wonogiri Central of Java, Indonesia. The research was based on descriptive explorative through land surveys, while to know the value of the soil quality in Keduang subwatershed takes the point sample deliberately (purposive sampling). The Soil Quality Index (SQI) is determined by collecting data on indicators that have been selected for each soil function or Minimum Data Set (MDS). Assessment of soil quality using a scoring method data on every indicator. Soil quality index for the retoration in Keduang sub-watershed were 26,67-27,78 for native forest; 24,44-25,56 for agroforestry; and 23,33-26,67 for dry land. The average value of soil quality index in native forest is 27,04
