Abstract

Evaluating land suitability for Aleurites moluccana in community agroforestry land within Langkat District, North Sumatra, is crucial for promoting sustainable development, enhancing livelihoods, and preserving ecosystems while honoring local traditions and cultures. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate and map the land suitability for A. moluccana within Langkat District, located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. To gather the necessary data, this study employed a survey method, involving the collection of soil samples from ten distinct land units within the field. The assessment of land suitability was carried out using the matching method. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was utilized to create maps illustrating the distribution of land suitability, while a Global Positioning System (GPS) was employed to accurately record the coordinates of the collected soil samples. The findings revealed that within Gunung Ambat, Simpang Kuta Buluh, Rumah Galuh, and Telagah Village, the actual land suitability classes for A. moluccana were classified as moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). The prevailing limiting factors in this region were temperature (tc) and the characteristics of the root zone medium (rc). Consequently, this influenced the potential land suitability classes for A. moluccana, resulting in classifications ranging from highly suitable (S1) to moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). By implementing land suitability evaluation for A. moluccana in community agroforestry land, promoting sustainable land use, enhancing livelihoods, and conserving natural resources.

Abstract

Medicinal plants in North Sumatra Province can be found in several places, including on agroforestry land, either planted or grown wild. This study aimed to identify the medicinal plants in the agroforestry land at Telaga Village. This research was conducted in Langkat District, North Sumatra, Indonesia, by survey method to collect medicinal plants by making 16 plots in the field. The results showed that there were found 199 individuals plant. Senduduk Bulu (Clidemia hirta) was the dominant plant that was found (61 individual plant) followed by Ilalang (Imperata cylindrical) (17 individual plant), Lempuyang (Zingiber zerumbet) (14 individual plant), and Merah Mata (Hedyotis corimbosa) (14 individual plant). The value of the diversity index (herbs and poles) was classified as moderate. The value of the diversity index (trees and saplings) was classified as moderate. The information about medicinal plant species is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the information of medicinal plant regarding to be able to preserve the existing species of plants at Telaga Village.
