Aris Sudomo | Agricultural and Biological Sciences | Academic Citation Impact Award

Gadjah Mada University | Indonesia

Mr. Aris Sudomo, S.Hut., M.Si. is a dedicated researcher specializing in silviculture and agroforestry, with a strong focus on sustainable management of community forests and tree plantations. As a Senior Researcher at the Research Center for Ecology, Life and Environmental Sciences Organization, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), he has accumulated extensive experience in forestry research and development. His academic foundation was built through a bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Forestry at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and a master’s degree from Hasanuddin University (Unhas), focusing on spatial planning and agroforestry systems. Throughout his career, he has been actively involved in advancing sustainable forestry practices, starting with cutting propagation techniques for eucalyptus and mulberry in Gunungkidul, followed by research on Acacia mangium plantations in Riau, and later, private forest systems in Java and Sulawesi. His research has explored intercropping systems involving ginger, shade-tolerant tuber species, cardamom, and other understory crops, demonstrating the potential of agroforestry to enhance land productivity and biodiversity. He has also led participatory action research in Gunungkidul, emphasizing the integration of timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to support local livelihoods. With a strong publication record and growing citation impact, Aris continues to contribute to the development of innovative silvicultural strategies that align with ecological principles and community needs. His vision is to strengthen the role of agroforestry as a sustainable land management approach that balances environmental conservation with economic empowerment for forest-dependent communities across Indonesia.
