Abstract

Tropical forest ecosystems are home to diverse insect communities that play essential ecological roles, including pollination, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Among the key forest plants, rattan (Arecaceae) provides both ecological and economic benefits and serves as an important microhabitat for various insect species. This study aimed to identify and analyze the diversity of insect species associated with natural rattan habitats in Namo Village, Kulawi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Insect sampling was carried out using sweep nets, pitfall traps, and yellow pan traps along rattan-dominated forest transects. A total of 125 individual insects were collected, representing 7 orders, 28 families, and 37 species. The order Hymenoptera showed the highest abundance (41.6%), dominated by Formicidae and Apidae families, followed by Coleoptera (25.6%) and Diptera (17.6%). The Shannon–Wiener Diversity Index (H’ = 2.84) indicated moderate species diversity with high evenness (E = 0.83). Functionally, the insect community consisted of pollinators (38.2%), herbivores (25.4%), decomposers (19.6%), and predators (16.8%). These findings demonstrate that natural rattan ecosystems support diverse and functionally balanced insect assemblages, reflecting stable ecological conditions and minimal anthropogenic disturbance. Conserving natural rattan stands is therefore crucial for maintaining biodiversity and sustaining ecological functions such as pollination and decomposition within tropical forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Araceae are herbaceous plants belonging to the monocotyledonous group of Angiosperms. They exhibit distinct morphological characteristics in their roots, stems, and leaves, and are generally herbaceous, with plant heights ranging from 90 to 180 cm. These plants hold significant economic and ecological value, as they are utilized as ornamental plants, food sources, and medicinal resources. This study aimed to identify and analyze the density of Araceae in the river basin area of Lawua Village, South Kulawi District, Sigi Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative and quantitative approach, with sampling conducted using the belt transect method across three different observation stations. Observations involved counting and recording the number of individuals of each Araceae species within the transect paths. Additionally, each species was documented, and samples were collected for identification based on their morphological characteristics, followed by density analysis. Overall, the study identified 16 Araceae species across 11 genera. These genera include: Alocasia (1 species), Colocasia (3 species), Dieffenbachia (1 species), Epipremnum (1 species), Homalomena (1 species), Pistia (1 species), Rhaphidophora (1 species), Scindapsus (2 species), Schismatoglottis (3 species), Spathiphyllum (1 species), and Syngonium (1 species). The overall density ranged from low to moderate, between 7 and 1,737 individuals, with abiotic conditions including an average temperature of 28 °C, humidity of 62.33%, light intensity of 2,998 Cd, and soil pH of 5.9. These findings provide valuable baseline data for the conservation and sustainable management of Araceae species in tropical riverine ecosystems.

Abstract

Mangroves are distinctive plants that grow in coastal areas, estuaries, river mouths, and sheltered deltas in tropical and subtropical regions. The economic value of mangrove plants lies in their wood and fruit. This study aimed to identify the potential of mangrove plants as food resources in Lalombi Village. The research employed observation, interviews, and questionnaire distribution to local communities. The results revealed that five mangrove species are utilized as food resources, namely Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., Nypa fruticans Wurmb, Bruguiera gymnorhiza (L.) Lamk., Acanthus ilicifolius L., and Sonneratia alba. These species are processed into various food products, including mangrove onde-onde, mangrove syrup, mangrove crackers, mangrove tea, and mangrove dodol. The processing methods involve traditional techniques such as soaking, boiling, filtering, pounding, drying, and packaging. Questionnaire results indicated that the local community possesses a very good level of knowledge and positive perceptions regarding the potential of mangroves as food resources and sources of economic income. Support from the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) was considered beneficial, although challenges remain in terms of technology, marketing, and product legalization. This study recommends the provision of further training, policy support, and the promotion and sustainable development of mangrove-based products to enhance the welfare of coastal communities.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Rattan, a valuable resource for both industry and local food, is evaluated for its nutritional content in this study. The research explores its potential as a learning resource based on local wisdom in Sibado Village, Sirenja District, aiming to raise awareness and promote sustainable use within the community. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research approach was used, involving proximate analysis to measure (Soxhlet method), protein (spectrophotometric method), water (thermogravimetric method), ash (dryashing method), and carbohydrates (proximate method) of rattan shoots. Data were collected from Sibado Village and analyzed in the Chemistry Laboratory of Tadulako University, Palu. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results of the study obtained an average fat content of 0.332%, protein content of 2.110% and carbohydrate content of 6.082%. The results of the study were integrated as a learning resource in the form of a local wisdom-based pocket book that had been validated by content experts, design experts, media experts and students with an average value of 81.7%, meaning it is very suitable for use as a learning resource. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first to combine nutritional analysis of Daemonorops robusta with the development of a local wisdom-based educational tool, bridging scientific data and pedagogy to enhance biodiversity awareness, cultural relevance, and contextualized learning in formal education.
