MANSUR, M & KARTAWINATA, K. 2017. Phytosociology of a Lower Montane Forest on Mt. Batulanteh, Sumbawa, Indonesia. Reinwardtia 16 (2): 77-92. — While Indonesia’s forests are globally known for their high species diversity but many regions remain little known to investigate the tree community in a lower montane forest at Mt. Batulanteh in Sumbawa. We subjectively laid out plots of 1,800 m2 each, two in secondary forests and one in a disturbed primary forest. All stems over 5 cm diameters were measured and identified. In the plot of 0,54 hectare, we recorded 723 individuals, representing 78 species, 60 genera and 33 families. Estimated volume of boles was 183.2 m3/0.54 ha, biomass was 220.1 tons/0.54 ha, carbon stock was 110.0 tons/0.54 ha and CO2 sequestration was 403.1 ton/0.54 ha. The forest at Mt. Batulanteh is classified as Garcinia-Cryptocarya association consisting of Micromelum-Cinnamomum subassociation. Dipterocarpus-Calophyllum subassociation and Garcinia-Syzygium subassociation. Dominant species were Micromelum minutum (IV=27.24), Mallotus philippensis (IV=26.2), Cryptocarya ferrea (IV=24.71) and Cinnamomum burmanni (IV=23.81) in Plot 1, Dipterocarpus retusus (IV=77.4) and Calophyllum soulattri (IV=24.21) in Plot 2, and Garcinia celebica (IV=34.86) and Syzygium sp. 1 (IV=34.76) in Plot 3. Dipterocarpus retusus was unique of having restricted distribution. Fagaceae, typical family in montane forests, was absent. Shannon’s diversity index was low (H '= 1.61). It can be concluded that the plots do not constitute a representative of Mt. Batulanteh and the surrounding forests, but they were sufficient to provide an illustration of the forests locally. The diameter class distribution indicated that the forests were regenerating. They were developing secondary forest and regenerating disturbed primary forest; slow successions were in the process and could be enhancedby ecological restoration. Further botanical explorations in poorly known regions of Sumbawa should be intensified further.

Abstract

Pitcher plants (Nepenthes spp.) that known as “Carnivorous plants”, has a role in CO2 absorption. However, how much contribution to the CO2 absorption has not been studied. This study was aimed to provide information on CO2 absorption of some Nepenthes species particularly lowland species. This study was conducted at Research Center for Biology-Indonesian Institute of Sciences,  Cibinong Science Center, Cibinong-West Java in June 2014 . A portable LCi ADC Bioscientific Ltd. Photosynthesis System was used to measure the absorption of CO2 directly. Measurement was conducted on 45 individuals of 15 species of Nepenthes with three replications for each species. The results showed that there was a variation of CO2 absorption rate on the lowland Nepenthes species, which was between 3.74 to 12.15 µmol m-2 s-1. The highest CO2 absorption was N. mirabilis (12.15 µmol m-2 s-1), followed by N. gracilis (9.71 µmol m-2s-1) and N. reinwardtiana (9.30 µmol m-2 s-1). While the lowest CO2 absorption occured in N. ampullaria (3.74 µmol m-2 s-1), N. hispida (3.75 µmol m -2 s-1) and N. bicalcarata (4.53 µmol m-2 s-1). Mature leaves of each species were recorded to have a highest CO2 absorption, transpiration and chlorophyll content than those of the young leaves.

Abstract

The study was conducted on March 2018 in two locations study, i.e. Mount Tunak Nature Tourism Park (NTP) (6400 m2 plot area) and Keramat Forest (4800 m2 plot area), Central Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The objective of the study was to find out the diversity of tree species and its distribution which can be used for forest area management by the local government and can support the establishment of a Special Economic Region in Mandalika as a place for conservation, research, education and scientific tourism. In the total plot of 1.12 hectare, we recorded 1560 individuals, representing 56 species,  47 genera  and 19 families. All stems ≥ 5 cm in diameter were measured and identified. In the plot of Mt. Tunak NTP, we recorded 992 individuals, representing 41 species, basal area was 11.4 m2, 31.7 m3of estimated bole volume, 78.3 tons biomass, 39.2 tons carbon stock and 143.7 tons CO2 sequestration. Five dominant tree species (trunk diameter ≥ 5 cm) recorded with the highest Importance Value Index (IVI) were Aglaia argentea (IVI= 34.3%), Schoutenia ovata (IVI= 33.3%), Drypetes neglecta (IVI= 25.4%), Glycosmis pentaphylla (IVI= 16.4%) and Grewia koordersiana (IVI= 14.9%). The level of diversity of tree species in the Mt. Tunak NTP was classified into a midle level with a Diversity Index (H')= 3.3, while in the Keramat Forest we recorded 568 individuals, representing 37 species, basal area was 19.9 m2, 51.1 m3 of estimated bole volume, 149.8 tons biomass, 74.9 tons carbon stock and 274.9 tons CO2 sequestration. Five dominant tree species were recorded; Dalbergia latifolia (IVI= 69.4%), Grewia koordersiana (IVI= 34.5%), Schoutenia ovata (IVI= 34.3%), Cupaniopsis macropetala (IVI= 18.2%) and Rhus succedanea (IVI= 14.2%). The level of diversity recorded (H')= 2.9 and classified as midle level. The composition of vegetation in Mt.Tunak NTP and Keramat Forest is different (Jaccard Similarity Index was 39.3%).
