Abstrak. Noviady I, Rivai RR. 2015. Identifikasi kondisi kesehatan pohon peneduh di kawasan Ecopark, Cibinong Science CenterBotanic Gardens. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1: 1385-1391. Ecology Park (Ecopark) yang berada di kawasan Cibinong Science Center-Botanic Gardens (CSC-BG) memiliki luas hingga 32 hektar. Area ini telah dibuka untuk umum sejak tahun 2004. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi kesehatan pohon peneduh di kawasan Ecopark. Penentuan pohon yang menjadi subyek penelitian adalah dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling berdasarkan frekuensi pohon yang sering dijadikan tempat berteduh oleh pengunjung. Analisis kerusakan pohon dilakukan dengan metode Forest Health Monitory (FHM). Selain itu, dilakukan survey pengunjung terhadap 36 responden terkait aspek kemanan dan kenyamanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teridentifikasi pohon yang sehat sebanyak 68%, kerusakan ringan sebanyak 29% dan kerusakan sedang sebanyak 3%. Lokasi kerusakan yang banyak terlihat adalah pada cabang sebanyak 29% kasus dan pada batang bagian bawah dengan jumlah sebanyak 27% kasus. Tipe kerusakan yang paling banyak terlihat adalah luka terbuka yaitu sebanyak 19% dari total kasus. Hasil survey responden menyatakan 94,44% responden merasa perlu adanya pengecekan rutin terhadap pohon peneduh, meskipun sebanyak 83,33% responden menyatakan masih merasa aman karena umur pohon yang relatif masih muda dengan kisaran 10 tahun. Sebanyak 88,89% responden menginginkan adanya tanda peringatan terkait kondisi pohon peneduh yang memiliki resiko tidak aman. Penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan pentingnya edukasi terhadap kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga lingkungan. (FHM). Survey to visitors related to the safety and comfort was also carried out to 36 respondents. Observation results showed that from 52 plants, there were 68% that fell to health category, while 29% and 3% fell into minor damage and medium damage categories, respectively. The majority of the damage was an open wound that reached up to 19%. The damage location was found mostly in plants' branches (29%) and bottom part of plants' bark (27%). The survey results revealed that 94,44% respondents think it was necessary for routine inspection of plants. Furthermore, even though most of the visitors (83,33%) felt secure in location due to the relatively young age of plants, they recommended the necessity of warning sign for risky plants. This study also recommended the important of environmental education to raise public awareness.Kata kunci: Cibinong Science Center-Botanic Gardens, Ecopark, Forest Health Monitory, plant health, plant conservation PENDAHULUANArea Ecology Park (Ecopark) terletak di kawasan Cibinong Science Center-Botanic Gardens (CSC-BG) dengan luas 32 hektar.

Research on the diversity of bryophytes in Indonesia has been generally accomplished. However, the publication of potential uses of this tiny plant is very limited. Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) as a center for ex-situ plant conservation has potential climate conditions as a location of moss growth. The study aims to collect bryophytes in CBG and to identify their potential uses. Purposive sampling method was used on various substrate (soil, rocks, trees). Some environmental parameters were also recorded, for instance, substrate type, temperature, and humidity. All of bryophytes collections were taken to the laboratory for the identification and saved in herbarium (CHTJ). A literature study was conducted to determine the potential uses of identified moss species. From 153 collection numbers recorded in CBG, there were 42 species which have potential use. In addition, there were 42 species that have the potential to be used as a medicinal plant, ornamental plants, uses in agriculture and environmental services. This study provides the initial information about the potential uses of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts particularly in Indonesia. Furthermore, these prospective utilization encourage the innovative research in Indonesia, particularly on alternative natural resources.
Mount Seblat, as part a of Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP), is a pristine and natural mountain, particularly from disturbances and destructions by human activities. Nevertheless, the richness of biological resources especially plant diversity.in this area has not been more explored. The purpose of this study was to conduct an inventory of plant diversity and to determine the plant species composition. The inventory activities were conducted by plants collection along the ascent route. The results were then be maintained through ex situ conservation method in Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG). The study was conducted by exploratory method, from Seblat Ulu Village (641 m asl) up to altitude of 1,037 m asl. There were 18 points of plant sample observation with an area of 5 x 5 square meters per point. Plant collection obtained 380 specimens. Five groups of most collected plants were Lauraceae (18 species), Rubiaceae (8 species), Anacardiaceae (6 species), Annonaceae (5 species), and Fagaceae (4 species). In order to enrich the plants collection as well as conduct the ex situ conservation effort, plants from Orchidaceae were also collected which resulted in 33 species. These results were an important initial inventory of plant diversity of Mount Seblat, considering that there was no record as well as very limited current information. When the environment disturbance tends to increase, this information may act as a reference and an initial database to develop plants conservation effort and strategy in the future.
Due to contribution of Target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation GSPC Botanic Gardens, Cibodas Seed Bank committed to increase its ex situ plant collection through seed banking. This research aimed to assess population and collect seeds from Cibodas remnant forests and its neighboring, Mt. Gede Pangrango National Park forest, for seed banking purpose. Thirty-two numbers of seeds belonging to fifteen families were collected. Two species were included in IUCN red list i.e. Saurauia cauliflora (vulnerable) and Magnolia blumei (least concern) and one species classified as endangered species by World Conservation Monitoring Unit (WCMC) i.e. Pinanga javana. Sixty-five percent population were possible to collect without affecting the availability of the seeds in the nature. Around a half of seeds were collected at natural dispersal stage to ensure the seed maturity. Ninety-one percent collected seeds were expected as orthodox seeds that can be stored in Cibodas Seed Bank and three species were recalcitrant and cannot be stored in Cibodas Seed Bank i.e. Calamus ciliaris, C. reinwardtii and Daemonorops rubra. Cut-test results showed 78% seed collected were full seeds, that were not infested, empty or immature seeds. This study provides information regarding the readiness of population for seed collection and species were collected and stored in Cibodas Seed Bank.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
