Abstract

Climbing plants are major component of tropical forest and play important role in many aspects of forest dynamic, balancing the micro-climate and provide food, shelter, nest material for wildlife especially bird. Inspite of their importance, climbing plants are often neglected. This research was aimed to describe the characteristics of climbing plants communities in three different ecosystems in Rambut Island Wildlife Reserve (RIWR). Climbing plants inventory in dryland, beach and ecotone forest were done by combining transect and quadrat method. The plots made in each ecosystem were 53, 27 and 85 respectively. A total of 37 climbing plants species consisted of 19 families were identifed and their contribution to species richness in RIWR reached 25,7 %. The climbing plants found in dryland, coastal and ecotone forest were 27 species (17 families), 23 species (16 families) dan 16 species (12 families) respectively. The species richness of climbing plants in all ecosystem were low, but the dryland forest was the richest due to the more fertile soils and vegetation structure complexity. In general, the species diversity and evenness in all ecosystem were low because of certain species domination. Dioscorea bulbifera was dominant in dryland and beach forest while Ipomoea violacea was dominant in ecotone forest. The domination of D. bulbifera influenced the similarity of climbing plants communities among ecosystem. Dominance, density and distribution of climbing plants indicated invasion of certain climbing plants species in RIWR. Keywords: diversity, forest, liana, vine

Abstract

The dominance of broadleaf weeds after A. nilotica control resulted in a decrease in the dominance of grass species in the savanna area of Bekol BNP. Herbicide application for controlling broadleaf weeds is an effective and efficient method. However, the impact of herbicide use on seed storage in the soil is unknown, while seed storage plays an important role in the sustainability of vegetation. This study used a completely randomized factorial design with three factors: soil depth, type of herbicide, herbicide concentration, and a control (without herbicide application). The effect of herbicide application on seed germination was analyzed using ANOVA. The results of this study indicated that the application of herbicides had no significant effect on seed germination in the soil (P > 0.05). Therefore, the use of triclopyr and fluroxypyr herbicides could be considered as one of the measures for controlling broadleaf weeds in the savanna area of BNP.
