Indonesian Journal of Forestry Research (IJFR) was first published as Journal of Forestry Research (JFR) in November 2004 (ISSN 0216-0919). The last issue of JFR was published in December 2013. The Journal has been accredited by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences since 2008 and by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education since 2018. IJFR has also obtained accreditation “Peringkat 1” or “Rank 1” from the Ministry of Research and Technology/National Research and Innovation Agency in 2020 (Decree Number: 200/M/KPT/2020). IJFR is issued in one volume per year, including two issues delivered in April and October. IJFR was previously published by the Research, Development and Innovation Agency - the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, formerly known as Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) - the Ministry of Forestry, Republic of Indonesia. Due to national policy change in research institution, the Ministry would no longer manage and publish the IJFR. Therefore, since 2023, the management and issuance of the IJFR is handed over to the Association of Indonesian Forestry and Environment Researchers and Technicians (APTKLHI). Consequently, the logo of the publisher was updated accordingly. The Indonesian Forestry Research Journal is a scientific publication of the Association of Indonesian Forestry and Environment Researchers and Technicians (APTKLHI). This journal publishes the latest results of main findings and synthesis articles that contain significant contributions to science and theoretical applications in fields related to the scope of forestry research.

Abstract

Traditional medicines derived from natural resource plants have gained attention since modern medications are expensive for certain diseases, including cancer. The Lawu Mountain ecosystem has shown that the environment supports plant distribution, including species with anticancer properties. This study aimed to determine the distribution and abundance of medicinal plants that could serve as cancer preventives, particularly along the Cemoro Sewu hiking trail. The purposive sample method was employed to make the observations, wherein plots measuring 5 m x 5 m for shrubs and 1 m x 1 m for herbs were created. Plots were made by systematic distribution on both sides of the hiking trail, with four plots at each station. This study had six stations at 2,000 m, 2,200 m, 2,400 m, 2,600 m, 2,800 m, and 3,000 m asl. The distribution of plant species was evaluated using the Morishita index distribution, whereas the abundance of species is observed to get the average value in plant individuals per unit area. Depending on the environmental conditions where the growth occurs, the nine species were found along the hiking track with an abundance ranging from 180 to 4,580 individuals per hectare for the shrub category and 5,000 to 50,830 individuals per hectare for the herbaceous category. The distribution patterns of the species were found to be regular and clumped, respectively.

Abstract

The housing demands in Bogor City have been on the rise, leading to environmental changes affecting pest organisms, especially subterranean termites. This research aimed to identify various species of subterranean termites in Bogor City, analyze soil and weather conditions, and evaluate termite attack frequency and severity. The study spanned 12 designated sub-districts. In each area, 25 bait wood (2 x 2 x 46 cm) crafted from pine wood and treated with water vapor pressure (105°C, 1 bar, 5 hours) were installed. Soil samples were gathered from each sampled village, while weather data was specifically documented in one sub-district. Findings uncovered three termite species inhabiting residential zones of Bogor City: Microtermes insperatus, Macrotermes gilvus, and Schedorhinotermes javanicus, with Microtermes insperatus emerging as the predominant species. The soil and weather conditions significantly favored termite existence in Bogor City. Termite attack prevalence stood at 38%, and the degree of wood damage ranged from 4 to 9.

Abstract

Social knowledge is a key ingredient in sustainably managing forest resources. It offers an understanding of how people living in forested areas can coexist. Social capital has become a type of community knowledge as far as the matter of community forest management is concerned. Research should be carried out on social capital, which is central role to  community-based forest management. This research aims to grasp the theory of social capital, specifically its relevance to communities building a shared identity and engagement to change their managed forests into common "public" spaces, both for the residents and the forest manager. This study uses the literature review method. The findings provide a general understanding of forest management through social capital. The following concepts provide a basic understanding of forest management linked with social capital: 1. Social capital in forest management. 2. Social capital plays an important role in forest management. 3. Social capital expresses itself in forest management. 4. Social capital in action for the forest. 5. Obstacles and challenges to developing social capital in forest management. 6. The measurement of social capital is applied as a management context. 7. Research on social capital in forest management includes managerial implications. 8. The opportunity and challenge of integrating social capital into forest governance. The conclusion is that social capital is the crucial pillar of the sustainable forest management framework.

Abstract

Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum (Becc.)) was an endemic flora found only on the island of Sumatra, listed as endangered and possessing the largest flower among 170 species of Amorphophallus. Conservation activities could benefit from the use of plant propagation through cuttings. The success of cuttings was determined by the concentration of plant growth regulators (PGR) to induce the formation of roots, corms, and shoots, making the study of PGR concentration important. This study aimed to find the best IBA concentration to induce roots, corms, and shoots in A. titanum. The research was conducted from February to October 2023. The study was designed based on a completely randomized design with treatments of IBA concentration consisting of 5 levels: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg L-1. The results showed that an IBA concentration of 15 mg L-1 produced the best survival percentage (100%), rooting percentage (93.33%), corm formation percentage (93.33%), shoot formation percentage (76.67%), and an average of 1.20 shoots per cutting on A. titanum petiole cuttings.

Abstract

The success of forest area rehabilitation requires community involvement. The selection of plant species that are suitable to community preferences will substantially influence the success of rehabilitation efforts. Communities’ preferences for specific plant species may increase their willingness to care the plant. This research explored the importance of participatory plant species selection in supporting forest rehabilitation success of Cahaya Tala-Tala Forest Farmers Group (FFG) in the Bulusaraung Forest Management Unit (FMU), South Sulawesi, Indonesia by applying the agroforestry technique. The study employed the participatory rural appraisal approach in one village and involved 50 respondents. The results indicated that the FFG members’ preferences for specific plant species were categorized as being in the “affected” stage and positioned at the “preference” stage according to the hierarchy of effects model. The participation of the FFG members in forest rehabilitation activities at the Bulusaraung FMU is categorized as the “partnership” level. The selected multipurpose tree species are expected to substantially contribute to the community’s income and help the success of forest rehabilitation activities in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sustainable peatland management must consider the social, economic, and environmental conditions of surrounding communities. Balancing these three pillars is essential for preserving the peatland's functions, which support the lives of various organisms dependent on the ecosystem. This research focuses on the behaviours of communities around peatlands in the Block C Peatland Management Unit (PMU) in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan. It investigates the social and economic variables influencing environmental behaviour in peatland management and utilization. Employing two methods-Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and survey – this research aims to collect comprehensive data. Data processing is conducted by using tabulation and statistical inference. The PRA includes tools like village historical timelines, transects, seasonal calendars, and livelihood preferences, while the survey uses semi-structured interviews to assess individuals’ characteristics, perceptions, and participation in peatland management. The study reveals that villages encounter several challenges, including insufficient agricultural support, susceptibility to flooding, restricted access to clean water, and poorly functioning irrigation systems. Climate change has disrupted the dry season, resulting in lower rubber sap production. The limited availability of land for rice farming and a decreasing interest in forestry products are also significant concerns. The communities must shift their agricultural practice to adapt to climate change. While most respondents acknowledge the ecological importance of peatlands, greater involvement in their management is still needed. This underscores the need to enhance community capacity for peatland restoration and conservation. In conclusion, the findings stress the importance of incorporating social factors into peatland preservation efforts to foster environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Agarwood is a distinctive wood resin product extracted from the important genus of Aquilaria, but the population of agarwood-producing trees from natural forests in Indonesia is threatened due to over-exploitation, leading to an urgent call for conservation and sustainable uses. Molecular techniques such as DNA profiling have been used to ensure the legality, conservation, and sustainability of species from this genus. In this study, cross-species amplification of microsatellite markers initially developed for Aquilaria crassna was developed on two other closely related agarwood species (Aquilaria malaccensis and A. microcarpa), and their genetic variation was evaluated. The four loci (6pa18, 10pa17, 16pa17, and 71pa17) were used to amplify leaf genomic DNA from 55 trees across three Aquilaria species. The results showed that the four loci could successfully be amplified in A. malaccensis, A. microcarpa, and A. crassna. In addition, A. crassna exhibited higher genetic variation (Na=2.75, Ne=2.35, He= 0.5672, and F=-0.727) than A. malaccensis (Na=2.75, Ne=2.19, He=0.5424, and F=-0.598) and A. microcarpa (Na=2.50, Ne=2.11, He= 0.5234, and F=-0.734) indicated the transferability of microsatellite markers in closely related agarwood species, possibly due to the flanking region in these four microsatellite regions being well-conserved in several agarwood species. These findings indicated that the markers tested here can be considered an effective tool for future studies in population and conservation genetics to support the management of agarwood genetic resources and track its supply chain to prevent overexploitation.
