Abstract

The Silokek Geopark area, Sijunjung Regency, is one of the tourist areas in West Sumatra Province which has a high level of biodiversity, which can be disrupted due to the presence of invasive plants. A study has been carried out which aims to determine the composition and structure of undergrowth in habitats invaded by weeds in the Silokek Geopark tourist area, Sijunjung Regency. This research was conducted from September to December 2022 using the quadratic method and plotting by purposive sampling with a plot size of 10 x 10 m with a sub-plot measuring 2 x 2 m. The composition of undergrowth in the habitat invaded by weeds found 24 families, 38 genera, 38 species, and 1049 individuals. Among the undergrowth found, there were 12 families, 20 genera, 20 species and 532 individuals of invasive plants with the dominant family being Asteraceae (30.41%), and the co-dominant family being Nephrolepidaceae and Poaceae with a percentage of 17 each. .83% and 11.63%. The highest important value index was in Nephrolepis biserrata (28.42%) and the lowest was in Musa acuminata (0.76%). The most dominant weed species was Mikania michranta with an IVI of 18.79%. The diversity index of the understorey plants in this area is categorized as high with a diversity index (H' = 3.24). Weed plant species are more successful in dominating open and disturbed areas with high levels of light intensity, gaps or wide gaps and forest edges can be utilized by invasive plant species to grow optimally.

Abstract

The mangrove canopy cover is the uppermost layer in the mangrove vegetation group, which is formed by the crown (leaf group) of mangrove vegetation and covers the layer below. The purpose of the study is to determine the estimation of mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok area using the MonMang v2.0 application and to determine the influence of environmental factors on the mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok area. This research was conducted from December 2023 to January 2024 in the Carocok Tarusan tourist area, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra.The method used in this study is the transect line method with the placement of transects carried out from the coastline to the land that has true mangrove vegetation. In the transect line, 20 plots were mapped with a size of 5 x 5 m. Then, the crown cover was measured using the MonMang v2.0 application using the hemispherical photography method on each plot. The results of the study show that the average mangrove canopy cover in this Carocok area is 69.19% and is classified as a medium category. The results of the study also showed that environmental factors between salinity, temperature, and pH had an influence on the mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok Tarusan area.

Abstract

Mangrove canopies play a vital role in the photosynthetic process through their structure and density. The denser the canopy, the more difficult it is for sunlight to penetrate, making it less likely for mangroves in the seedling and sapling stages to receive adequate sunlight. This study aims to determine the mangrove canopy cover using the MonMang application and to determine the influence of environmental factors on mangrove trees. One method for measuring this is by applying the MonMang application in the mangrove forest of Sungai Gemuruh, Pesisir Selatan Regency, to determine canopy width within the ecosystem. The line transect method was used to estimate canopy cover, with transects laid from the shoreline inland through areas with true mangrove vegetation. Along the transects, 10 × 10 m plots were established. The MonMang application was applied to each plot to measure canopy cover, accompanied by data analysis, including the calculation of mangrove tree density. The results showed that the average canopy cover was higher along Transect II (76.88%) compared to Transect I (75.72%). Based on this study, it can be concluded that the estimated canopy cover in the Sungai Gemuruh Tourism Area falls into the category of very dense canopy cover.

Abstract

This study discusses the composition and structure and estimates the potential carbon reserves and environmental service value of the Nagari Paru Forest (Rimbo Larangan) in Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra. The method used was the transect method with purposive sampling. The vegetation observed consisted of trees and tree seedlings. The results showed that the tree-level vegetation consisted of 17 families, 21 genera, 23 species, and 53 individuals, with Hopea sangal as the dominant species, while the sapling-level vegetation consisted of 17 families, 23 genera, 24 species, and 94 individuals, dominated by Drepananthus ramuliflorus. The diversity index (H') was moderate, at 2.95 for trees and 2.74 for seedlings. This study shows that the Nagari Paru Forest has great ecological potential and can support climate change mitigation efforts and community empowerment through environmental service schemes.

Abstract

The forest within The Social Forestry of Nagari Sumpur Kudus, Sijunjung Regency has the ability to store carbon reserves. The forest area located in the highlands shows a lot of biodiversity, influenced by the ability of the forest to maintain carbon stocks and diverse plant species in the area. The purpose of this study is to determine the total biomass and total carbon stocks stored in the Social Forestry Area of Nagari Sumpur Kudus, Sijunjung Regency. This research was conducted from May to October 2023. Taking at tree and sapling strata uses a nondestructive sampling method. From the results, it is obtained that the three strata are as many as 14 families and 14 species. The sapling strata is obtained from as many as 17 families and 37 species. The total above-ground biomass is l78,97 ton/ha consisting of 177,83 ton/ha tree biomass and 1,13 ton/ha sapling biomass. The total above-ground carbon stock is 86,11 ton/ha consisting of tree carbon stock 85,58 ton/ha and sapling carbon stock 0,53 ton/ha. The Social Forestry Area of Nagari Sumpur Kudus, Sijunjung Regency has the potential to store carbon stocks which is included in the medium category and need to be maintained.
