Abstract

Forest fires and land conversion to oil palm plantations are one of the major threats that caused dangerous impacts on the existence of peatlands in Indonesia. Rehabilitation by plant type enrichment method is an effort that can be developed to restore the ecological and hydrological functions of degraded peatlands. This study aimed to analyze biophysical conditions (soil characteristics), analyze the growth response of plant species against the combination of planting types; analyze the choice of planting combinations that are in accordance with the physical conditions of the field and the needs of local communities. This study was designed by varying the diversity of tree species or combination of planting. The research plot consists of three size area (5m x 5m, 10m x 10m, and 20m x 20m). The species that used in this study consists of Shorea balangeran, Durio zibethinus, Archidendron pauciflorum, Parkia speciosa, Coffea liberica and Areca pinanga. The results showed that the research plot has soil characteristic from mesotropic fertility categories (moderate fertility) to eutophic (fertile), while the pH between 3.2 – 3.5 (very acidic). The growth of plant species at the age of five months has growth rate differentiation both height and diameter in each combination of planting.  The height growth of Shorea balangeran species the highest which average of 35.16 cm while the diameter growth of Areca pinanga is 8.13 mm. The best combination of planting is a combination of six species wich consists Shorea balangeran, Durio zibethinus, Archidendron pauciflorum, Parkia speciosa, Coffea liberica and Areca pinanga. Keywords: enrichment planting, growth, rehabilitation, peatlands

Abstract

Puspa is a type of vegetation that can be used to restore forests, and grows in M Halimun Salak National Park. This study aims to analyze the species composition, stand structure and biophysical aspects of Schima wallichii (DC.) Korth. The research method used was vegetation analysis with purposive sampling of 5 plots measuring 50 x 50 meters based on the height of the research location. The results showed that puspa dominated the study site with high density at the seedling level and low at the tree level. The horizontal structure of puspa at the study site shows an inverted “J”, indicating that natural succession is well underway. The distribution of puspa in the plot shows a clustered distribution. The temperature and humidity of the study site were relatively uniform, the slope was in the steep and very steep class, while the thickness of litter and residual organic matter was relatively uniform, except in plot 2.
