Abstract

Araceae is a group of herbaceous plants that grow on land (terrestrial), in water (aquatic), and by climbing on trees (epiphytic). Araceae plants are widely known by the community as ornamental plants commonly found in home gardens; however, they can also be found growing wild in forests. Tropical regions such as Indonesia provide highly suitable habitats for these plants. Approximately 90% of Araceae genera and 95% of their species occur in tropical areas. This study aimed to describe and determine the species density of plants belonging to the Araceae family in Saluopa Waterfall area, Wera Village, Poso Regency. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design using a survey method, with sampling conducted through the belt transect method. The population in this study consisted of all Araceae species found in the Saluopa Waterfall area, Wera Village. The sample included all Araceae individuals recorded along the observation transects. Documentation and specimen collection were carried out for each Araceae species to enable identification based on morphological characteristics, followed by density analysis. The results revealed 10 species belonging to the Araceae family, distributed across nine genera: Aglaonema, Colocasia, Dieffenbachia, Xanthosoma, Homalomena, Schismatoglottis, Rhaphidophora, Scindapsus, and Syngonium. The density values ranged from 0.02 to 0.24 individuals per meter, comprising ten species from nine different genera. The highest density species was Colocasia esculenta (0.24), followed by Homalomena rubescens (0.17) and Dieffenbachia seguine (0.13) while the lowest one was Schismatoglottis calyptrata (0.02).

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Rattan, a valuable resource for both industry and local food, is evaluated for its nutritional content in this study. The research explores its potential as a learning resource based on local wisdom in Sibado Village, Sirenja District, aiming to raise awareness and promote sustainable use within the community. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research approach was used, involving proximate analysis to measure (Soxhlet method), protein (spectrophotometric method), water (thermogravimetric method), ash (dryashing method), and carbohydrates (proximate method) of rattan shoots. Data were collected from Sibado Village and analyzed in the Chemistry Laboratory of Tadulako University, Palu. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results of the study obtained an average fat content of 0.332%, protein content of 2.110% and carbohydrate content of 6.082%. The results of the study were integrated as a learning resource in the form of a local wisdom-based pocket book that had been validated by content experts, design experts, media experts and students with an average value of 81.7%, meaning it is very suitable for use as a learning resource. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first to combine nutritional analysis of Daemonorops robusta with the development of a local wisdom-based educational tool, bridging scientific data and pedagogy to enhance biodiversity awareness, cultural relevance, and contextualized learning in formal education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Insect visitors to oil palm flowers, an important component in the pollination process and ecosystem services, are evaluated for their diversity in this study. The research explores their potential as a resource for environment-based learning rooted in local contexts within smallholder plantations, aiming to raise awareness and support sustainable education practices in the community. Methodology: Insects were collected using sweep nets, yellow pan traps, and direct observation. Identification was conducted using a Nikon SMZ445 stereo microscope and reference to entomological keys. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, focusing on species composition and abundance. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results showed a total of 50 morphospecies of insect visitors on both male and female oil palm flowers. The number of insect species visiting male flowers was higher, consisting of 38 morphospecies belonging to 21 families and 10 orders. The results of the study were developed into a local wisdom-based pocket book focused on the diversity of insect visitors to oil palm flowers in smallholder plantations. The learning resource was validated by content experts, design experts, media experts, and students, with an average score of 81.7%, indicating it is highly suitable for use in environment-based education. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study highlights insect diversity in smallholder oil palm plantations, which is rarely documented. It also links ecological data with educational applications, providing a model for utilizing local biodiversity as a teaching resource in environmental and biology education.
