Abstract

Selective logging has been taking place in Papua for several decades. In contrast, very little is known about the stand structure in post-logged forest.  Hence, this paper investigates stand structures in logged-over area of tropical forest in South Papua. Four species were selected in three one-hectare permanent sample plots (PSPs): Vatica rassak, Syzygium sp, Litsea timoriana and Canarium asperum.  PSPs were located in the forest concession area of PT. Tunas Sawaerma in Assiki, Boven Digul, in South Papua.  Data sets comprised measurements made in 2005 and 2012 consisting of species, diameter at breast height (DBH), mortality and number of tree of each species.  Integral Projection Models (IPMs) were developed, taking into account mortality, growth, recruitment and fecundity.  Results show the pattern of stand structures of the four species were more or less similar, i.e. more individual trees were present in the small diameter classes than in the larger diameter classes.  The general pattern of the individual distribution of the four species is the typical reverse-J shape.  Syzygium sp. has a greater number of individuals in the small diameter classes than the other three species.  Population growth rates (λ) are above one, indicating that the stand structures of the population dynamics of the four species are recuperating.  Conclusively, these results suggest that species composition and population structure in these logged-over forests are recovering increasingly.

Abstract

Forest stand structure could be used as one of the variables in deciding the possibility to harvest forest product. On logged-over forests, data and information over stand structure could become the basis for decision making for harvesting. To measure and analyze yield on logged-over forest, each forest management unit (IUPHHK) is obligated to establish Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs) for monitoring the growth and yield of the managed stand. In some of the plots, maintenances and thinning treatments are applied while other plots are not treated.  The results, after several years of observations, showed that there was a difference in stand structure (tree number) of each diameter class both in plots with treatment and without treatment. The rate of in-growth, up-growth and mortality varied between plots without and with treatment in each diameter class and length of time after harvesting. The average diameter increment of trees in the stands of the untreated plots was higher (0.60 cm yr-1) compared to the treated plots (0.55 cm yr-1).

Abstract

Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the locusts known as important pests of food crops. Outbreaks of this species can cause catastrophic damage to maize, paddy, and many other crops. A species distribution model was used to identify the probability of the locust's current and future potential distribution in the Indonesian archipelago. The study relied on the machine learning method Maximum Entropy (Maxent) Model to forecast the future spread of the species in the Indonesian archipelago and to find the climate variable that influenced the distribution of Locusta migratoria. The results showed an Area Under Curve (AUC) value of 0.956 for the Locusta migratoria model, indicating a highly reliable model. The important variable for the distribution of this species was precipitation, especially during the dry season. A low amount of rainfall increases the possibility of the species existing and being distributed. Maxent prediction models showed the potential distribution in the southern part of the Indonesian archipelago under both middle and worst-case scenarios for 2070. This model can become one of the baselines for early warning systems, targeted monitoring and surveillance, and the use of specific pesticides or biological control agents to prevent or minimize the harm of Locusta migratoria outbreak to agricultural lands in the future.
