Abstract

Tavankar F, Bonyad AE. 2015. Effects of timber harvest on structural diversity and species composition in hardwood forests. Biodiversitas 16: 1-9. Forest management leads to changes in structure and species composition of stands. In this research vertical and horizontal structure and species composition were compared in two harvested and protected stands in the Caspian forest of Iran. The results indicated the tree and seedling density, total basal area and stand volume was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the protected stand. The Fagus orientalis L. had the most density and basal area in the both stands. Species importance value (SIV) of Fagus orientalis in the protected stand (92.5) was higher than in the harvested stand (88.5). While, the SIV of shade-intolerant tree species such as Acer insigne, Acer cappadocicum and Alnus subcordata was higher in the harvested stand. The density of trees and seedling of raretree species, such as Ulmus glabra, Tilia begonifolia, Zelkova carpinifolia and Fraxinus coriarifolia, was also higher in the protected  stand. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index in the protected stand (0.84) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in the harvested stand (0.72). The highest diversity value in the harvested stand was observed in DBH of 10-40 cm class, while DBH of 40-70 cm had the highest diversity value in the protected stand.

Abstract

Ravanbakhsh M, Amini T, Hosseini SMN. 2015. Plant species diversity among ecological species groups in the Caspian Sea coastal sand dune; Case study: Guilan Province, North of Iran. Biodiversitas 16: 16-21. Biodiversity is often discussed in terms of species diversity is concentrated. Species diversity is one of the important characteristics of biological communities and its as a functionof the number and size represent populations of species in a special geographic region.The aim of this study was to identification ofecological species groups and investigates the diversity among ecological species groups. The research area comprises a coastal dunesystem in northern of Guilan Province, Iran. Vegetation sampling was carried out along 22 shore perpendicular transects, approximately500-m long. A total of 62 plot of 25 square meters were taken in transects. In each sampled plot, the cover percentage value of eachspecies was estimated using Bran-Blanquet scales. Vegetation classified using Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). Thecomparison of diversity indices among groups were performed with ANOVA test. The results revealed that there were 232 plant taxaand 8 ecological species group in the region. Results of analysis of variance in species diversity indices showed significant differencesamong the groups in terms of biodiversity indices. The survey of variation in the groups showed that groups 5 and 6 had the highest andgroups 1, 2, 3, and 7 had the lowest indices. Checking of the group's position with high diversity in comparison with other groups in thiscoastal area indicates that the group settled on the coastal land with stabilized soil and proper distance from the sea had higher diversityindices.

Abstract

Gheibi F, Akbarinia M, Kooch Y. 2015. Effect of Alnus subcordata, Acer insigne and Sequoia sempervirens plantations on plant diversity in Hyrcanian forest of Iran. Biodiversitas 16: 10-15. Forest plantation is a common action in order to restore thedegraded forests in Hyrcanian forests of Iran. This study compares the plant biodiversity in four 25-year-old stands of plantation,adjacent understorey of alder (Alnus subcordata C. A. Mey.), maple (Acer insigne Boiss.), sequoia or red wood (Sequoia sempervirens(D. Don) Endl.) and mixed stand (maple and sequoia), located in Salmanshahr of Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. Research carriedout in, 10 sample plots with 20m × 20m area which taken by systematic-random in each plantation. All understorey species wereidentified, recorded and then the biodiversity indices (diversity, richness and evenness) were calculated. Our findings show that theplanted species had significant effects on understorey diversity. Statistical comparisons revealed that the highest and lowest diversity(Simpson and Shanon-Winer) and richness (Margalef and Menhinic) indices occurred in sequoia and alder stands, respectively. Theevenness indices (Camargo and Smith-Wilson) were significantly greater in maple, sequoia and mixed stands compared with the aldertype. As a conclusion, floristic change trends were different according to the planted tree species. A good understanding of thecomplexity of vegetation processes requires long-term monitoring of vegetation change.

Abstract

Mir SA, Mishra AK, Pala SA, Reshi ZA, Sharma MP. Ferns and fern allies of District Shopian, Kashmir Valley, IndiaBiodiversitas 16: 27-43. Shopian, recently created hilly district of Kashmir valley, Jammu and Kashmir is surrounded by the loftymountains of Pir-Panjal range. More than half area of district is occupied by different forests, subalpine, alpine and mountainous zones.Great altitudinal variation, adequate rainfall, high forest cover, large number of streams, springs and topographic variations render thedistrict worthy for supporting rich fern flora. Therefore, the current study was aimed to undertake in-depth systematic survey of differenthabitats of Shopian for the collection of diversity of pteridophytes. Specimens were collected during 2010, 2011 and 2012 growingseasons from June to November. A total 81 species of ferns and fern allies belonging 27 genera and 11 families were reported. Thedominant families of the region are Dryopteridaceae (25 species) followed by Woodsiaceae (16 species), Aspleniaceae (13 species) andPteridaceae (12 species). Similarly, the dominant genera collected from here are Dryopteris (14 species), Asplenium (13), Polystichum(11 species) and Athyrium (6 species). A list of the fern and fern allies, along with update nomenclature, their selected Synonym,diagnostic features, distributional and ecological notes have been provided here.

Abstract

Silalahi M, Supriatna J, Walujo EB, Nisyawati. 2015. Local knowledge of medicinal plants in sub-ethnic Batak Simalungun of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 16: 44-54. Research on the local knowledge of medicinal plants by sub-ethnic BatakSimalungun of North Sumatra was conducted, using an ethnobotanical approach. The sample consisted of 8 key informants and 32general respondents, who were grouped into two, namely those who were 30-50 years old and >50 years old. Data were analyzed bothqualitatively by descriptive statistics and quantitatively by calculating the index of cultural significance (ICS) and the use value (UVs).It was found that 239 species (170 genera, 70 families) of medicinal plants were used to cure 18 kinds of natural diseases and 2 kinds ofsupra natural diseases. Almost half of those plants (119 species) had leaves used as medicines. Among the diseases, gastrointestinaldisorders had the highest number of medicinal plants used (72 species), followed by fever (64 species), and fractures (41 species). Itseemed that younger generation had lost their knowledge in the medicinal plants because their knowledge of medicinal plants (48.19 ±8.35 species) was lower than the that of older generation (170.19 ± 18.38 species), while our key informants had the highest knowledgeof medicinal plants among respondents (202.00 ± 12.32 species).

Abstract

Sunarto, Tsaaqifah H, Purwoko C, Pangastuti A. 2014. The diversity of non-methanogenic bacteria involved in biogasproduction from tofu-processing wastewater. Biodiversitas 16: 62-68. The energy crisis is an important current issue, so diversificationof energy is needed to solve the problem. Biogas from tofu-processing wastewater is one potential alternative energy to be developedbecause it has high organic matter content. The amount of methane formed by methanogens is also influenced by the presence ofbacteria, so it is necessary to do research on the diversity of non-methanogenic bacterial communities. This study aimed to determine thediversity of non-methanogenic bacteria in anaerobic fermentation using ARDRA (Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis)method. Tofu-processing wastewater was anaerobically fermented, followed by DNA extraction, amplification of 16S rRNA markergene, and cloning. Then, restriction was done using MspI and AluI restriction enzymes, followed by sequencing of different patterns.The data were analyzed to know the diversity of non-methanogenic bacteria and the relative importance of each phylotype in thecommunity using Shannon-Wiener index of diversity (H’) and evenness (E).The results showed that there were 38 positive clones of16S rRNA genes clones. The sequencing using BLASTn analysis showed the presence of 10 species of non-methanogenic bacteria.There were four sequences with 97% similarity, indicating that the bacteria belong to species from GeneBank data. There were 6sequences that had 96% similarity with the closest relative in the database, indicating that these bacteria are new species. The Shanon-Wiener index was 1.291, categorized as low and the evenness was 0.561, categorized as low because there was dominance of a species.

Prehadi, Sembiring A, Kurniasih EM, Arafat D, Subhan B, Madduppa HH. 2015. DNA barcoding and phylogeneticreconstruction of shark species landed in Muncar fisheries landing site in comparison with Southern Java fishing port. Biodiversitas 16:55-61. Sharks are one of main fisheries commodity that are currently exploited on a large scale because of their high economic value.The identification of sharks has been a difficult one due to the specimen’s similarity in morphology and mostly have had key diagnosticfeatures removed. This study aimed to identify and to review the status of sharks, and also to reconstruct the shark species that werelanded at South Java fishing port using molecular approaches. The DNA amplification was using cytochrome oxidase I mitochondrial oflocus and 600-700 basepairs. A total of seven species from 59 individuals was identified including Alopias pelagicus, Carcharhinusfalciformis, C. sorrah, C. amblyrhynchos, Galeocerdo cuvier, Atelomycterus marmoratus, and Spyrna lewini. The diversity of sharkspecies landed in Muncar during the last 2 years has been decreased. The identified sharks species in this study sites were about 18% ofall Indonesian sharks. The result of this study is expected help the Government to manage shark fisheries in Indonesia.

Avasthi S, GautamAK, Bhadauria R. 2015. Occurrence of leaf spot diseases on Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. caused by Curvularia species from Madhya Pradesh, India. Biodiversitas 16: 79-83. During 2010-2011, occurrence of leaf spot diseases was observed on Aloevera plants grown in various nurseries of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. The typical disease symptoms were observed on the abaxialsurface, tips and spiny margins of leaves. Disease spots were sunken, dry, necrotic, dark maroon to dark brown in color. On the basis ofmorphological and microscopic characteristics of the fungus, two species of Curvularia i.e. Curvularia lunata and Curvularia ovoidea,were found to be associated with the leaf spot diseases. Koch’s postulate was applied to confirm the causal organisms of the diseases.According to the literature, this is the first report of leaf spot disease on A. vera caused by Curvularia lunata from Madhya Pradesh, andthe first report of Curvularia ovoidea from India.

Abstract

Pourbabaei H, Eskandari M, Daryaei MG, Heydari M. 2015. The interaction between diversity of herbaceous species and history of planting, Masal's forests, Guilan Province, Iran. Biodiversitas 16: 84-88. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the plantation age and diversity of herbaceous species. The study area is located in the Masal's plantations of Guilan in north of Iran. For this purpose, 60 plots were sampled by a randomized-systematic method throughout the study area in order to record the herbaceous species, the Whitaker's nested plot was applied and the minimal area was obtained 64 m2 (8 x 8 m). In order to evaluate the plant diversity, some indices including Shannon-Wiener's diversity (H'), species richness (S) and Smith-Wilson's evenness (Evar) were utilized. Results indicated that 31 herbaceous species were found in two plantations. There were significant differences between two sites regarding H' and Evar. Whereas, there was no significant difference in view of species richness between two sites. In addition, results revealed that older plantation has not caused to increase richness and evenness of species.
