Abstract

Tumbuhan berkhasiat obat sudah sejak lama dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat Etnis Karo, Kecamatan Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hulu sebagai alternatif pencegahan dan penyembuhan penyakit. Penggunaan obat tradisional sebagai alternatif pengobatan lebih banyak dibanding pengobatan secara medis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan, kepercayaan akan khasiat obat, jenis tumbuhan, bagian tumbuhan yang digunakan, jenis ramuan, cara pengolahan, dan nilai index of cultural significance (ICS) bahan baku yang digunakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode wawancara semistruktur untuk responden umum, dan wawancara bebas untuk informan kunci. Dari hasil penelitian, responden dengan kategori usia dewasa hingga tua memiliki pengetahuan dan kepercayaan yang lebih tinggi dalam penggunaan obat tradisional. Sebelas jenis ramuan obat tradisional diperoleh baik yang disajikan secara tunggal dan campuran yang berasal dari 36 jenis tumbuhan dari 21 famili. Bagian tumbuhan paling sering digunakan adalah daun, dan nilai ICS tertinggi (178) adalah jahe. Tumbuhan obat diramu dengan direbus, digiling, atau dikeringkan.

Abstract

The mountain region of Sipiso-piso is located adjacent to the water catchment area in Lake Toba. The region is known to have a notable uniqueness in plant species diversity from the valley to the ridge of the mountain which is only inhabited by shrubs and less stands. However, near the top of the mountain, it was characterized by a dense forest community and diverse forest vegetation with unknown information. The purpose of this study was to determine the vegetation and species diversity in the Sipiso-piso mountain region. Vegetation observation in the field used a combination method between the line transect and quadratic plots. The study documented a total of 40 plant species, with 20 families and 23 species in the forest region; 9 families and 19 species in shrubland while 2 species were recorded in both plant communities. Based on the importance value index (IVI), the forest community was evenly dominated by certain species that in shrubland. Based on the diversity index, the diversity in the forest community was classified as moderately abundant for each structure, while the shrub community was classified as moderately abundant only in the seedling but lower in the sapling, pole and tree. The evenness in the studied region was categorized as low with a distinct of species similarity among forest and shrub community.

Abstract

Forests play a crucial role in environmental, economic, and social sustainability by storing carbon and mitigating climate change. This study aimed to assess the vegetation composition, diversity, and carbon storage in Gunung Leuser National Park, Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra. Fieldwork, conducted using purposive and nested sampling methods, recorded 11 families and 14 plant species with 27 individuals at the tree growth level, and 11 families and 16 plant species with 30 individuals at the pole growth level. The Burseraceae family dominated tree-level composition (29%), while the Phyllanthaceae family dominated pole-level composition (28%). The highest Important Value Index (IVI) was Santiria rubiginosa (36.09%) for trees and Gironniera nervosa (55.46%) for poles. The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H’) was 2.45 for trees and 2.53 for poles, with evenness values (E) of 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. The total biomass was 120.240 tons/ha, with stored carbon amounting to 55.310 tons C/ha. To better estimate carbon storage potential, further research should cover larger areas and include biomass components like litter and dead wood.
