Abstract

Agroforestry or tree crops in West Sumatra is called parak, it mostly related to rural and farmers but at some developing areas the parak is still existed with a high potential changes in structure and floristic composition due to commercial orientation. To explore the possible changes of tree community in such developing areas, 11 of 20x20 meter plots were established across parak areas in peri-urban site in Lubuk Alung district, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra Indonesia, aimed to specifically investigate tree density, stand basal area, spesies distribution and other ecological atributes of the species. We found 24 tree species from 306 trees within 0.44 ha or about 695 tree per ha. Durio zibethinus was the biggest trees, found as a top canopy but few in number and spreaded quite widely across the areas, followed by some other species such as Cocos spp., Areca catecu, Garcinia spp., while small trees, high density but only spreaded at some places was represented by Theobroma cacao. Many species and the structure were typically agroforest that vary in canopy level and economic functions except some species which may be additionally planted to suit the needs of peri-urban community.

Abstract

Microhyla gadjahmadai was first described by Atmaja et al. in 2018. For the newly described species category, there is not much information explaining this species and there has been no further research after this species was described, especially in West Sumatra. This study aims to provide information on variations in the morphological characteristics of M. gadjahmadai in West Sumatra, through morphological and morphometric analysis of 8 samples (1 adult male and 7 adult females) found in Puncak Anai (Dempo Anailand), Kanagarian Guguak, District 2x11 Timber Planting, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. This study used the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method. The result of the present study shows that no significant morphological differences between the holotype and paratype of Microhyla gadjahmadai and other specimens from West Sumatera. However, the present study reported that the morphological variations of this species.

Abstract

Mammal inventory is a survey activity to find mammal species that exist in a certain area at a certain time and point. The existence of mammals in a forest area helps restore forest conditions through their role as natural predators and seeds dispersing. Nagari Forest is one of the efforts to maintain the existence of forests and biodiversity that have ecological, economic, socials and cultural benefits. The aim of this study was to determine the types of mammals found in Pondok Parian Nagari Forest, Lunang based on the results of camera trap recordings. This research is descriptive study, conducted from July 2022 to January 2023. Located in Pondok Parian Nagari Forest, Lunang, West Sumatra. Data collection using the camera trap method. The data obtained was analyzed and then arranged into the table consisting of orders, famili and species. The camera trap succeeded in documenting 19 species of mammals belonging to 14 families and 6 orders. Those identified species were Tapirus indicus, Capricornis sumatraensis, Muntiacus muntjac, Tragulus napu, Cuon alpinus, Neofelis diardi, Prionailurus bengalensis, Pardofelis marmorata, Helarctos malayanus, Martes flavigula, Hemigalus derbyanus, Paguma larvata, Viverra tangalunga, Arctictis binturong, Hystrix brachyura, Macaca namestrina, Presbytis melalophos, Macaca fascicularis, Echinosorex gymnure.
