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

Bamboo forests serve as valuable assets which assist in developing social forestry programs that benefit local communities. The research investigates how bamboo grows and its economic value through two different planting methods which include monoculture and mixed systems at a Indonesian village forest. Researchers used systematic sampling methods to collect data from 21 plots which included 14 monoculture plots 6 mixed-system plots and 1 shrub plot. The research team focused on gathering data about clump characteristics and culm density and regeneration proportion. The researchers used the Mann–Whitney U test to analyze system differences because the data did not follow normal distribution. The study results show that monoculture bamboo systems produce higher output levels and generate greater financial benefits than mixed systems. The monoculture stands achieved an annual output of 6,374 culms per hectare which results in an estimated economic value of IDR 50,992,000 per hectare every year. The mixed systems produced 5,242 culms per hectare each year whereas the system generated an output of 5,242 culms. The study found that monoculture systems produced more young bamboo regeneration which reached 30.8% compared to mixed systems which generated 27.0% of young bamboo regeneration showing that monoculture systems have better regenerative capabilities.

Abstract

Cajuput (Melaleuca cajuputi) oil is one of the products developed under Perum Perhutani’s Multipurpose Forestry Business. Developing the cajuput oil business remains a challenge; efforts must continue to build both competitive and comparative advantages and to increase revenue. The aim of this research is to analyze the competitiveness of Perum Perhutani's cajuput oil business which can be managed in accordance with the concept of sustainable development goals in the Forestry Sector. In doing this, we use Resources Based Value (RBV) and Value, Rarity, Imitability, and Organization (VRIO) analysis to evaluate the competitive resouces of cajuput oil bussines. SmartPLS was used to test the influence on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results show Perum Perhutani has sustainable competitive advantages, namely the quality of its cajuput oil plant seeds, the ability to achieve supply chain certification, and the ability to produce good quality products sustainably. In running the cajuput oil business, Perum Perhutaniexperiences a significant impact from applying SDG values, which manifest as both economic and ecological benefits.. Perhutani’s cajuput oil products are more competitive than those of other domestic producers, but less competitive when compared to imported eucalyptus oil products in the global market.

Abstract

A thorough understanding of biodiversity is crucial for the sustainable management and conservation of forest ecosystems. This study investigates vegetation cover in conjunction with key environmental factors—including physiographic features, soil characteristics, and climatic conditions—in the Nimvar Forest of Nowshahr, Iran. Vegetation zoning was conducted in areas surrounding the Khazar Nabi Marshes based on the degree of homogeneity and heterogeneity among vegetation units. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate vegetation and soil biodiversity within the temperate forests adjacent to the marshes. Plant diversity was quantified using the Simpson and Shannon-Wiener indices, while species richness was assessed through the Margalef and Menhinick indices. The Berger-Parker and Pielou’s indices were also employed to evaluate species dominance and evenness. Results indicated that both species diversity and richness reached their highest levels in the eastern, northern, and northeastern parts of the study area. Statistically significant differences in species richness and evenness (p < 0.05) were observed among these regions. The predominant soil texture in areas surrounding the marsh was sandy clay loam (62.5%). Notable variation was found in clay content (p < 0.01), organic matter (p < 0.01), and soil pH (p < 0.05). Beech species were most abundant on the northern slopes, whereas the Gramineae family represented the most dominant plant group overall. These findings emphasize the marsh’s role in shaping local vegetation patterns and soil attributes, contributing to the development of a distinct microhabitat with unique microclimatic conditions.

Abstract

Arenga pinnata (sugar palm) seeds are classified as seeds that have a long dormancy period. This dormancy can be influenced by the maturity level of the sugar palm fruit. This study aims to characterize the morphology and anatomy at various levels of fruit maturity and its relationship to the dormancy of sugar palm seeds. The research was conducted descriptively, involving data collection through morphological, anatomical, and physiological observations of sugar palm fruits and seeds randomly selected from productive sugar palms in Nagari Andaleh Baruh Bukik, Sungayang Subdistrict. The sampling technique was conducted through the purposive sampling method on 12 productive palm trees aged 10 years and above. The results showed that morphologically, there were changes in the color of the skin of the palm fruit to yellowish when it reached physiological maturity, as well as the texture of the hardened seed shell. Changes did not follow these changes in shell color and seed size. Physiologically, there is an increase in gibberellin hormone levels along with the increase in fruit maturity, and it continues to increase when entering the germination phase. Anatomically, the structure of the seed embryo does not show significant changes since the beginning of the fruit ripening. Based on this, there is a mutual relationship between the morphological and physiological characteristics of the dormancy of sugar palm seeds. The riper the palm fruit is, the harder the seed shell is, so the seed dormancy becomes longer and is known as morphophysiological dormancy.

Abstract

The concept of multi-business forestry (Mb-F) aims to increase the economic benefits of forests, which have thus far made little contribution, without ignoring their ecological functions. The opportunity to develop multi-business forestry in social forestry (SF) activities within the Forest Area with Special Management (Kawasan Hutan Dengan Pengelolaan Khusus/KHDPK) is huge. With one area management permit, many business activities can be carried out. This study aims to determine the feasibility of multi-business forestry using screening method for social acceptance (community preference), financial feasibility (NPV, B/C Ratio, and IRR), and ecological suitability (soil type, rainfall, and location altitude). The results show that socially, the community accepts and has even implemented the concept of multi-business forestry through agroforestry. However, most permit holders consider it necessary to regulate the number of trees to optimize land use. Economically, all multi-business patterns implemented are feasible, with the presence of aren (Arenga pinnata) and sheep being important keys to the sustainability of SF. Ecologically, some NTFPs species cultivated by the community are less suited to local conditions, which can result in suboptimal production. The existence of investors or business entities is very important in the sustainability of forestry multi-businesses, which are mostly based on NTFPs and require high capital.

Abstract

Dusung, a traditional agroforestry system in Maluku, represents a unique cultural heritage shaped by shifting cultivation and patrilineal land ownership. Adapted to the ecological conditions of small islands, dusung has demonstrated environmental benefits such as maintaining soil fertility, regulating hydrological functions, preventing erosion, enhancing local income, and conserving biodiversity. Despite its ecological and socio-cultural importance, data on the structure, composition, and spatial distribution of dusung agroforestry, particularly within watershed areas, remains scarce. This study aims to identify and map dusung agroforestry patterns based on local wisdom in the Wai Batu Gajah Watershed, Ambon City. The research employed field surveys, vegetation analysis, and structured interviews with 30 dusung farmers to explore management practices rooted in traditional knowledge. Vegetation assessments revealed moderate species diversity, with dominant species including durian (Durio zibethinus), gandaria (Bouea macrophylla), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), kecapi (Sandoricum koetjape), langsat (Lansium domesticum), aren palm (Arenga pinnata), and salak (Salacca zalacca). Spatial analysis of 25 dusung areas delineated based on dati (customary land units) highlights how traditional land tenure and customary institutions play a central role in sustaining the dusung system. The mapping further illustrates that the distribution of dusung reflects deep-rooted cultural patterns in managing natural resources. These findings underscore the need for further research integrating ecological, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions to support the long-term sustainability of dusung agroforestry through culturally appropriate conservation strategies.

Abstract

The massive increase in efforts to develop ecotourism in Indonesia has made the concept of ecoregional identity necessary for strengthening the comparative advantage of inter-regional ecotourism development. This research was conducted to analyze, map, and interpret stakeholder orientation toward ecoregional identity for ecotourism development in the Gayo Highlands, Aceh Province, especially Aceh Tengah District. The study was conducted by analyzing the perceptions, motivations, and preferences of stakeholder groups; by adopting the One Score One Criteria Scoring System for 7 aspects: ecological, socio-cultural, socio-economic, social politics, development, regional, and ecotourism. The analysis showed that stakeholder orientations toward ecoregional identity for ecotourism development remained relatively low: of the 327 ecoregional identity types mapped, only 41% were recognized by stakeholders. The ecoregional identities that are trending and have significant economic value at this time are Gayo Coffee, Lut Tawar Lake, and Depik Fish, which have the highest stakeholder orientation in Aceh Tengah District. This fact not only weakens the functions of other ecoregional identities, which are also important for ecotourism development, but also causes the loss and even extinction of these identities.
