This research was conducted on July to October 2010 to evaluate the effect of porang cultivation on the abundance, diversity and composition of soil Arthropods. Change in the abundance, diversity and composition of soil Arthropods was observed using pitfall traps in two study sites (Jember and Madiun). In each study site, samplings were performed in porang cultivation land and non-porang area. A total of 15 traps were put in three lines at each location. The differences in the abundance and diversity were analyzed by using multivariate analyze tests. The soil Arthropod compositions in all locations were compared with Bray-Curtis similarity index. The effect of environmental factors on the arthropod compositions was analyzed using multiple regression. The result showed that the effect of porang-cultivation was not consistent in two study sites. In Madiun, the abundance of soil Arthropods in porang cultivation land was slightly higher than that in non-porang, while the diversity was significantly higer in the former location. In contrast the those in Jember was found in vice versa situation. This study indicate that the effect of porang-cultivation was not subtantial to the composition of soil Arthropods. Therefore practice non harmful porang cultivation should be promoted as a part of agroforestry sistem in both study sites.Keywords: Agroforestry, conservation, pitfall traps Soil Arthropods composition

Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) is one of the nature conservation area thathas the potential of flora, fauna, and ecosystems that could develop as a nature-based tourism attraction. The existence of certain indicator species was related to estimation of stress level and disturbance on ecosystem stability for making strategic decisions about the restoration in this area. One of the important indicator species at forest ecosystem were soil arthropods. Aim this research were analyzed composition and diversity of soil arthropods at Rajegwesi, MBNP areas. The methods in this research used pitfall trap, measurement of distribution structure and soil arthropods composition based on the Shannon - Wiener index, Morisita similarity index and Importance Value Index (IVI). The number of families and individuals of soil arthropods found in the coastal area of Rajegwesi consists of 10 order with 21 families (702 individual). The number of individuals of the order Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Collembola and Araneida was more widely found. Soil arthropods diversity index on each land use indicated that soil arthropod diversity in these areas were moderate. Soil arthropod community of orchards and forest had a similarity of species composition, whereas soil arthropod community of savanna had a similarity of species composition with paddy fields.

Avifauna inhabiting mountain forest ecosystems on Java Island face severe threats from anthropogenic disturbances. Despite this, the diversity of avifauna in specific areas, such as the Hutan Lindung Pegunungan Putri Tidur (HLPPT) on the slopes of Mount Kawi, remains poorly monitored. This study focuses on assessing avifauna diversity and communities in the tourist area of Mount Kawi slope waterfalls, situated on both the southeast side in Malang Regency and the north side in Batu City. The research, conducted from January to March 2022, examined eight waterfall locations (Baung, Glotak, Luksongo, Parangtejo, Manten, Tengah, Rondo, and Sumberpitu) using the roaming method with Visual Encounter Survey (VES) and Audiovisual Encounter Survey (AES) techniques. Data analysis included considerations of conservation status, local distribution, feed specialists, diversity indices (Taxa Richness, Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H’), Simpson Index (D), Evenness Index (E)), and Important Value Index (IVI) as an assessment of avifaunal diversity. Researchers employed Microsoft Excel and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to determine preferences for each character diversity index and abiotic factors in each location. Across the site, 84 species from 33 families were identified. Notably, seven species were classified as at risk (4 near-threatened, two vulnerable, and one endangered), and nine avifauna were protected. The correlation of avifauna diversity to biotic and abiotic factors was positive. These results provide essential data for further conservation management, emphasizing the protection of the forest area, tourists, waterfalls, and slopes of Mount Kawi. Additionally, studying spatial and temporal distribution is crucial for future avifauna species re-inventory efforts.

The research aimed to analyze the contribution of diversity and vegetation structure of the Sustainable Reserve Food Garden (SRFG) Program in Pacitan Regency to support food security. The sampling was carried out using a purposive random sampling on 315 respondents, who were active members of the SRFG Program. Information on the condition of the SRFG home garden was obtained through interviews and questionnaires administered directly to each respondent. The SRFG home gardens were clustered into eight based on vegetation density using multivariate clustering K-Means. Spatial variations in diversity were analyzed using descriptive statistics, density of each vegetation, Shannon-Wiener index diversity, and polynomial model regression analysis using Software PAST 4.13. The research results show that clusters 1-3 had the highest density of trees (302 individuals/ha), of shrubs (11 individuals/ m2), and of herbs (46 individuals/100 m2), with a medium level of diversity (H’ trees 2.09; H’ shrubs 1.91; H’ herbs 1.88). Meanwhile, cluster 2 excelled in herbs density, with the same level of diversity. A low level of diversity (H’ 0.8) was only found in cluster 8 in that of trees. Additionally, the questionnaire results show that the impacts of food availability, food access, food utilization and nutritional health on cluster 1-3 were better than those on cluster 4-8. This is shown on a Likert’s Scale (1-4), where the means of cluster 1-3 were 3.12 in food availability, 3.74 in food access, 3.35 in food utilization and 3.65 in nutritional health. Meanwhile, cluster 4-8 indicated food availability (3.03), food access (3.69), food utilization (3.22) and nutritional health (3.52). The results implies that improving home garden diversity and structure by the SRFG program in Pacitan Regency supports food security.
