Abstract

Kasa is one of the important species among 120 species in the genus Castanopsis (Fagaceae), which thrives in secondary and primary lowland forest areas up to 1000 m above sea level. This plant species exhibits tolerance to full sunlight. The objective of this study is to assess the regeneration potential of Kasa (Castanopsis acuminatissima Blume) in the Kalaena Nature Reserve, Indonesia. The research plots consisted of two 50 m x 50 m plots, with a nested 10 m x 10 m subplot placed using purposive sampling. The findings regarding the regeneration potential of Kasa in the Kalaena Nature Reserve revealed varying numbers of seedlings, saplings, poles, and trees. The regeneration potential of Kasa is influenced by the growth stages of seedlings and trees. During the seedling phase, the regeneration potential of Kasa is classified as very good. However, the density of trees, although in the productive category, is low due to environmental factors and the characteristics of the parent tree. Conversely, the sapling and pole phases exhibit very poor regeneration potential. In plot 1, there were 1964 individual seedlings, 6 individual saplings, 4 individual poles, and 21 individual trees. Meanwhile, plot 2 recorded 844 individual seedlings, 5 individual saplings, 1 individual pole, and 18 individual trees. The growth of Kasa in both plots displayed a clustered pattern.

Abstract

Insects are the most numerous groups of organisms in the phylum of Arthropods and have a very important role in the continuity of ecological functions. This study aims to determine the diversity of nocturnal and diurnal insect species in PT. Sumber Graha Sejahtera of production forest area in West Wara District. This study used 2 methods are plot and line transect. The traps used are Light traps for nocturnal insects used on 5 plot and Sweep Net for diurnal insects used on 3 line transect. The results showed that there were 36 species of insects consisting of 14 nocturnal species and 22 diurnal species. The diversity index of nocturnal insects were included in the medium category (2.57) with the highest population density found in the species Aedes albopictus which is 0.0160, while the diversity index of diurnal insects were included in the high category (3.02) with the highest population density found in the species Valanga nigricornis which is 0.0056.
