Abstract

The Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman area plays an important role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting the lives of the people of the buffer villages through various plant resources used in daily life. Local community knowledge of plant use is an important part of supporting forest conservation, especially through women's role as guardians of cultural and ecological knowledge. This research aimed to explore the role of women in preserving plant knowledge and forest conservation in Talang Mulya Village, a buffer village for Tahura WAR. The research was conducted using survey methods and semi-structured interviews with 65 female respondents. Data were analyzed descriptively, quantitatively, and qualitatively. The results showed that most respondents had high knowledge of the types of plants around the forest (83.10%), the traditions of plant use (90.77%), and the cultural and spiritual values associated with certain plants (78.46%). Most of this knowledge (75.38%) was obtained from parents and ancestors. Most respondents (57.11%) also replanted plants in the environment around their homes, although their involvement in formal forest conservation activities remained relatively low. This research shows that women play an important role in sustaining ethnobotanical knowledge and supporting local knowledge-based conservation in forest areas.

Abstract

Birds and dragonflies are two taxonomic groups with high potential as environmental bioindicators, particularly in andesite mining areas. Both groups are highly responsive to changes in terrestrial and aquatic environments. This study aimed to explore the species diversity of birds and dragonflies in a mining environment as a database for environmental management and biodiversity conservation efforts. Bird data were collected using the point count method, while dragonfly data were obtained through an exploratory method with purposive sampling. The results recorded 10 bird species from 7 families, namely Alcedinidae, Estrildidae, Campephagidae, Columbidae, Cuculidae, Rallidae, and Pycnonotidae, as well as 6 dragonfly species from 1 family, Libellulidae. The bioecological index of birds and dragonflies is categorized as medium for diversity index (H'), low for richness index (R), high for evenness index (E), and low for dominance index (C). The bird feeding guilds are dominated by granivores, omnivores, insectivores (30% each), and frugivores (10%). All birds and dragonflies are of Least Concern (LC), Non-Appendix (NA) status and are not protected. The presence of birds and dragonflies indicates that the andesite mining exploration area still functions ecologically as a habitat for these taxa, despite experiencing moderate levels of environmental pressure. All recorded species belong to generalist groups that are relatively tolerant of disturbance and pressure from anthropogenic activities, particularly mining. Repeated population surveys (monitoring) of birds and dragonflies, along with a strong commitment to maintaining protected areas for these taxa within the mining scope, are necessary to support biodiversity conservation

Abstract

Sengon (Falcataria falcata) is one of the fast-growing forestry species with high economic value and is widely cultivated in Indonesia. However, a major challenge often encountered is the decline in seed viability and vigor during storage. To address this issue, biopriming technology using dark septate endophytes (DSE) fungi was applied as an invigoration method to improve the physiological quality of seeds.This study aimed to determine the effect of biopriming technology using DSE fungi on the viability and vigor of sengon seeds. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments, namely without DSE (control), DSE isolate CPGS 3, and DSE isolate S-115, each replicated four times. The observed parameters included germination percentage, germination rate, germination speed index, vigor index, uniformity of germination, and seedling growth rate. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results of the study showed that the DSE CPGHS-3 and DSE S-115 treatments had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the parameters of Germination Power (88-89%) and Seed Growth Rate (8-9%/etmal), but no significant effect (p>0.05) on other seed vigor parameters, such as Germination Rate, Germination Rate Index, Vigor Index, and Seed Growth Simultaneity. The DSE CPGHS-3 strain tended to have a positive impact in the form of an increase in almost all vigor parameters, except for Seed Growth Rate which was constant. Meanwhile, DSE S-115 had a varying effect with a decrease in seed vigor on the Vigor Index and Seed Growth Simultaneity parameters compared to the control. The application of DSE as a biopriming agent to improve seed physiology needs to pay attention to the compatibility between the DSE strain and the type of plant seed.

Abstract

Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park (TNRAW) in Southeast Sulawesi is a strategic conservation area representing the Wallacea ecosystem with high floristic potential, yet baseline data on wild orchid diversity in this region remains severely limited. This study aims to identify species composition and analyze the community structure of wild orchids in Mandu-Mandula Forest, TNRAW, Southeast Sulawesi. The research was conducted from February to March 2025 in an area of approximately 47 ha using 100% exploration method with cruising technique and purposive sampling. Species identification was performed through comparative methods with taxonomic validation using Plants of the World Online (POWO) and World Flora Online (WFO). Data analysis included Importance Value Index (IVI) calculation for species dominance and Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H') for diversity levels. The results revealed 11 species of wild orchids, comprising 10 identified to species level and 1 to genus level (Dendrobium sp.), with a total of 920 individuals. Vandopsis lissochiloides (Gaudich.) Pfitz. showed absolute dominance with IVI of 76.85, while Dendrobium discolor Lindl. exhibited the lowest abundance (IVI = 3.27). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index yielded H' = 1.8956 (moderate category), yet the community structure demonstrated extreme inequality with absolute dominance by generalist species and rarity of specialist species. The high dominance of V. lissochiloides and low abundance of several other species indicate the need for in-situ conservation strategies prioritizing host tree protection, canopy microclimate stability, and regular population monitoring to prevent local extinction of vulnerable species in TNRAW.
