Abstract

The Depati Karo Jayo Tuo Customary Forest represents a rich ecosystem of Sumatran rainforest biodiversity. Observations reveal dense canopy cover and various terrestrial fern species, yet information regarding the diversity of terrestrial ferns remains limited. Exploratory research is essential to uncover the biodiversity of terrestrial ferns in this area, including their conservation to support effective conservation strategies, protect species and ecosystems. This study aims to identify the diversity of terrestrial fern species and evaluate their conservation status. The research employs the cruise method in the trekking path of the forest. Environmental factors measured include soil temperature, soil moisture, pH, air temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Species identification is based on the identification keys of ferns. Conservation status was analyzed based on IUCN and CITES. The study found 49 species divided into Filicinae class (45 species, 24 genera, 18 families, 5 orders) and Lycopodiinae (4 species, 1 genus, 1 family, 1 order). According to the IUCN, 32 species are categorized as Not Evaluated, 2 species as Least Concern (LC), and 15 species remain uncategorized. CITES data revealed that one species is listed under Appendix II, so it is important to protect biodiversity in the Depati Karo Jayo Tuo Customary Forest.

Abstract

The epidermal structure and phytochemical composition of six palm species (Arecaceae) were studied to understand their anatomical characteristics and bioactive compound content. Leaf samples from phoenix palm (Phoenix roebelenii), red palm (Cyrtostachys renda), foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata), fan palm (Livistona chinensis), christmas palm (Adonidia merrillii), and yellow palm (Chrysalldocarpus lutescens) were analyzed through microscopic observation and phytochemical screening. The results revealed variations in epidermal cell shape, cell wall structure, and stomatal distribution. Most species exhibited smooth-walled epidermal cells, except for red palm (C. renda), which had wavy cell walls. Stomata were predominantly tetracytic, with red palm (C. renda) and christmas palm (A. merrillii) displaying an amphistomatic distribution, while the other species were hypostomatic. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids and saponins in all samples. Triterpenoids were detected only in phoenix palm (P. roebelenii), fan palm (L. chinensis), and yellow palm (C. lutescens). Alkaloids were found in phoenix palm (P. roebelenii) and red palm (C. renda), while steroids were present in red palm (C. renda), foxtail palm (W. bifurcata), and christmas palm (A. merrillii). Additionally, tannins were detected in all plant samples except for fan palm (L. chinensis). These findings suggest that palm leaves possess significant bioactive compounds that could be explored for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
