| Summary: | Bamboo-based agroforestry is suitable for poor-nutrient soil. The
characteristics of bamboo and the rapid growth of its canopy can improve soil cover,
nutrient availability and soil moisture and prevent erosion by reducing surface
runoff. The research was aimed at determining the factors that influenced the
availability of surface runoff and soil organic matter (SOM) on the bamboo-based
agroforestry in Lombok Timur.
The research was done from March 2010 until March 2011 in Lenek Daya
village, Aikmel sub-district, Lombok Timur district. The research plots were located
on slopes range: 0-15
