Abstract

Indonesia, known for its high biodiversity, is threatened due to alien plants that invade local plant species in forest areas. West Bali National Park is overgrown with invasive exotic plants, such as Lantana camara L., known locally as the kembang telek. The research aims to predict the distribution of L. camara using species distribution models (SDMs) and analysis variable contribution in the model featured in the biodiversity climate change virtual laboratory (BCCVL) application. L. camara distribution prediction model in Bali used the Bioclim data input by identifying areas of low, medium, and high habitat suitability. Central mountainous regions, including parts of Buleleng, Jembrana, Bangli, Karangasem, and Tabanan, show the highest suitability. Response curves demonstrated the correlation between climate variables and occurrence probability, highlighting the specific condition of rainfall and temperature ranges favoring Lantana's growth. The model showed a reliable AUC value of 0.89, indicating realibility. Potential improvements through additional environmental parameters were suggested. While L. camara has some potential benefits as a medicinal plant in Balinese culture, its invasive nature poses significant threats to native ecosystems. The predictive map offers valuable insights for authorities to implement initiative-taking strategies for preventing and controlling Lantanas spread in vulnerable areas of Bali.

Abstract

The Alas Mentaok was a forest dominated by the mentaok tree (Wrightia javanica) that once existed in Yogyakarta, Java Island, Indonesia. This forest has cultural and historical value, as it is believed to be the first location to establish the Mataram Islam Kingdom in Java in 1582 AD. This study utilized species distribution models (SDMs) to investigate the species distribution pattern and assess its latest conservation status in Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. The methodology used involved collecting occurrence and environmental data of W. javanica, conducting species distribution modeling using the maximum entropy algorithm, evaluating the model's accuracy, and performing an independent assessment of the area of occupancy (AOO) and extensive occurrence (EOO) using the geospatial conservation assessment tool (GeoCAT). While the number of suitable habitat areas for W. javanica in Yogyakarta is projected to decrease by 2100, the islands of Sumba and Timor are anticipated to experience an increase in the suitable habitat areas for the species during the same year. The analysis of BIOCLIM 34 indicates the mean moisture index of the warmest quarter plays a vital role in the current and future projections. AOO calculation in GeoCAT places this species in the endangered (EN) category, particularly within our regions of interest in Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Overall, a full assessment combining a habitat suitability model with current conservation status information would provide a more comprehensive understanding of mentaok's habitat preferences and current conservation status in Indonesia.

Abstract

The forested regions within the Bedugul highland stand as some of the last remaining tropical mountain rainforests in Bali. However, recent development in Bedugul indicates a surge in mass tourism, posing a threat to its diverse plant life due to increased land-use changes and overpopulation. Hence, this research aimed to ascertain the composition and diversity of tree communities within the Bedugul highland forest, focusing on Mt. Pohen and Mt. Tapak. While Mt. Pohen has a history of disturbances like the establishment of a geothermal power plant and forest fires, Mt. Tapak experiences comparatively less disruption. The methods include species identification, the diversity index calculation, the species composition and abundance, and the similarity analysis between permanent sample plot (PSP) from Mt. Pohen and PSP from Mt. Tapak. The result shows a clear separation in tree species composition and abundance between both PSPs. Some species are only detected at Tapak but absent at Pohen or vice versa. However, Euphorbiaceae is the dominating family in both mounts, as the species are known as pioneer plants that benefit in growth and adaptation to the highland habitat after disturbance. The most abundant species in a one-hectare plot on Mt. Pohen are Crypteronia paniculata and Acronychia trifoliata. While on Mt. Tapak, it appears to be Dendrochnide stimulans. Both mounts are occupied mainly by tree groups with diameters ranging from 10 to 20 cm.
