Abstract

Penelitian ini menginformasikan keanekaragaman hayati tumbuhan berbunga di Geopark Silokek, Sumatera Barat, sebuah kawasan karst yang unik. Survei lapangan dengan cara jelajah dilakukan untuk menginventarisasi spesies tumbuhan berbunga dan mengevaluasi status kelangkaan dan konservasi serta kekhasan ekologis mereka. Hasilnya menunjukkan keberadaan 164 spesies tumbuhan berbunga dalam 121 genus dan 55 famili. Famili Moraceae dan Gesneriaceae merupakan famili dengan jenis terbanyak. Enam spesies diantaranya termasuk penting dari segi taksonomi dan konservasi, dengan status rentan terhadap kepunahan dan juga endemik di Sumatera antara lain Quercus oidocarpa, Vanda sumatrana dan Zingiber macradenium. Selain itu, tujuh jenis lain merupakan tumbuhan indikator kawasan karst antara lain Impatiens tribuana, Paraboea treubii dan Monophyllaea horsfeldii.

Abstract

Ecosystem condition, biomass, and carbon storage in mangrove forests are highly dependent on the presence of mangrove species in coastal ecosystems. Conversely, the presence of a dominant species alters ecosystem mechanisms; for example, Nypa fruticans Wurmb. Biomass, carbon storage, and potential carbon sequestration were estimated in a coastal area dominated by N. fruticans. Sampling was conducted by laying out multi-level plots along transect lines representing different vegetation types. Biomass on the ground surface was calculated by applying species-specific allometric equations to convert biomass to carbon and CO2 equivalents, and then computing the total carbon stocks. Biomass was calculated at 140.21 tons/ha, with a carbon stock of 66.11 tons/ha, yielding a carbon sequestration potential of 241.82 tons/ha. It is obvious that N. fruticans, the dominant species as the biggest carbon store, is accompanied by low diversity of native mangrove species. Ecological imbalance between N. fruticans and other species persists despite increased total carbon storage. Management efforts must be implemented to support biodiversity and carbon sequestration in coastal mangrove forests. Keywords: biomass, carbon stock, mangrove, Nypa fruticans, carbon sequestration

Abstract

The sugar palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) has considerable potential as a biomass resource and as a raw material for pulp production. In West Sumatra, particularly in the Tanah Datar and Lima Puluh Kota regencies, cultivation areas cover approximately 376.75 ha and 285.00 ha, respectively. Although sap extraction for palm sugar and bioethanol remains the primary use, non-productive trunks are largely underutilized. This study evaluated the physical and chemical properties of these trunks, focusing on fiber dimensions, chemical composition, and calorific value. Trunks from Lima Puluh Kota exhibited longer fibers (2.70–2.97 mm), higher felting power (90.33), and favorable Runkel ratios, resulting in a Class I fiber quality rating for pulp production. In contrast, samples from Tanah Datar were classified as Class II. The trunks also showed cellulose contents ranging from 35.21% to 64.63% and moderate lignin levels (8.02–18.40%), both of which are advantageous for pulping. However, the calorific values (2,675–3,374 cal/g) were below national and international standards for biomass fuels. Overall, these findings suggest that non-productive sugar palm trunks are better suited for pulp and paper applications than for bioenergy production. Optimizing their use could support circular economy development while increasing value for local communities.
