Abstract

Global climate change has become an urgent issue affecting land quality, especially forest areas. Forests are important in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon and storing greenhouse gases. Community forests, which are managed by communities on private land, have great potential to reduce carbon emissions. However, community forest management is still suboptimal due to limited knowledge of the application of effective silvicultural techniques. This study aims to provide recommendations for community forest management by intensifying silvicultural techniques, such as plant spacing and plant species selection, to reduce fire risk and support climate change mitigation. The method used was a systematic review of 30 relevant scientific articles. The literature used came from books and national and international journal articles accessed through Google Scholar, Springer and ScienceDirect databases. Articles were selected through a selection process based on the relevance of the title, abstract, and overall content. The results showed that a planting distance of 4×4 meters or 4×3 meters is the most optimal for tree growth and allows the implementation of an agroforestry system. In addition, plant species such as Swietenia macrophylla and Gliricidia sepium proved effective as fire barriers due to their evergreen characteristics that can reduce the amount of litter as fire fuel. In conclusion, intensive silvicultural techniques can increase the effectiveness of community forest management in sequestering carbon, reducing the risk of forest fires, and supporting climate change mitigation efforts. This research provides recommendations that community forest managers can apply to improve environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Bunder Grand Forest Park is one of the conservation areas that serves as a source of sustenance for surrounding communities by implementing agroforestry initiatives within the Community-Use Zone. Although previous studies have confirmed the biophysical suitability of this site for kalanjana grass (Brachiaria mutica) cultivation, no study has established quantitative productivity data across the five Forest Farmer Group (KTH) management units, leaving a critical gap in the empirical basis needed for sustainable harvest management and carrying capacity assessment. This study addresses this gap by quantifying the productivity of kalanjana grass (Brachiaria mutica) across five farmer groups in the Community-Use Zone of Bunder Grand Forest Park. Field observations were conducted using 30 1×1 m plots to measure plant height, leaf number, and fresh weight, while interviews with 30 respondents collected data on land management practices and economic valuation. Grass cultivation practices and productivity were assessed using descriptive analysis of interview and observation data. Results showed that productivity varied considerably across KTHs: KTH Langgeng recorded the highest yield at 98,856 kg/ha/year (IDR 49,428,000/ha/year), followed by KTH Puntuk Srumbung (74,808 kg/ha/year; IDR 37,404,000/ha/year), KTH Wana Makmur (48,630 kg/ha/year; IDR 24,315,000/ha/year), KTH Ngreksobawono (40,590 kg/ha/year; IDR 20,295,000/ha/year), and KTH Ngudi Lestari (32,605.71 kg/ha/year; IDR 16,302,857/ha/year). Productivity variation across KTHs was influenced by biophysical site conditions and farmers' socioeconomic characteristics. To optimize community empowerment, it is recommended to diversify the species and products cultivated by each KTH, while accounting for local environmental factors and upholding conservation principles.
