This research aim to study how Benuaq society around Muara Lawa District, manage agriculture system and internal knowledge about rice varieties. This research use ethnobotanical approach: collecting ethnobotanical data of rice varieties and traditional system of swidden cultivation. Data was obtained by using direct participatory technique by interviewing the people (key informants) about their practice and perception. The interviews were unstructured open-ended discussion on knowledge and farming activities including about diversity in rice varieties. Subsequently, quantitative data from questionnaires was combined with depth-interview data from key informants. The Benuaq indigenous systems, practices, and cultivation preferences held by the Benuaq are guarded toward maintaining their rice diversity. The Benuaq systems of upland rice cultivation, site selection for umaq establishment, plant species for fertility indicator, and cultivation of wide ranges of upland rice varieties indicate their sophisticate knowledge in agriculture. Unfortunately there has been degradation in the indigenous knowledge among the young Benuaqs.
Abstract. Praptosuwiryo TNg, Isnaini Y. 2017. Morphological variations and sex expression in gametophytes of . Characteristics of gametophytes in ferns have been shown to be phylogenetically significant. Studies of fern gametophytes have become essential to fill the gaps in our knowledge of fern morphology, ecology, reproduction, evolution and distribution. The purposes of this study were: (i) to observe morphological variations and sex expression in gametophytes of Cibotium barometz (L.) J. Sm., and (ii) to understand how gametophyte densities affect sex expression in the species. Spores of five collection numbers of C. barometz from Sumatra, Indonesia, were sown on half-strength Murashige & Skoog (½MS) basal medium. Eleven weeks after germination of spores, prothalli were subcultured on ½MS medium along with sugar (30 g/L) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA, 0.5 mg/L). After eight months subculturing of prothalli (prothallus density: 100-150 individuals per cm 2 ), 100 gametophytes were observed for each collection number to determine their shapes and sex expression. Between 9-12 months after subculturing, gametophytes growing at different population densities (between 100-500 individuals per cm 2 ) were sampled. One hundred prothalli were selected among the ten replicates for each collection number. The percentage of each identified gametophyte shape and their genders were recorded. Eight morphological types of adult gametophyte were recorded: (i) Branching filament (asexual), (ii) ribbon-like shape (male), (iii) spatulate shape (asexual, male, female), (iv) heart shape (male, female, bisexual), (v) gemmiferous heart shape (asexual, female, bisexual), (vi) long heart shape (male, bisexual); (vii) gemmiferous long heart shape (asexual, male, bisexual), and (viii) gemmiferous irregular shape (asexual, male, female, bisexual). We conclude that gametophyte morphology is simply "too plastic" to be used in suporting species delimitation in ferns if the prothalli is to be cultured in a high population density. There is a correlation between gametophyte size, shape and sex expression that is related to the population density. The presence of unisexual and bisexual gametophytes indicates that both intergametophytic and intragametophytic selfing occur in C. barometz.
The mangrove forest ecosystem plays an absorbent and carbon sink to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere, including in degraded mangrove areas. This research was conducted precisely on abandoned shrimp ponds in mangrove areas in the Mahakam Delta. Four different locations are locating on Sepatin ponds, ponds, ponds, and ponds Bayur headland. The purpose of this study was to estimate the above-ground carbon stock in abandoned shrimp ponds. Carbon stock measurement methods create a 125 m transect and quadrant divided into six plots at each location. These measurements were conducted on living vegetation and dead wood from felling vegetation. Measurement of above-ground biomass was done by measuring the tree diameter at breast height (1.3 m) on each tree diameter> 5 cm in radius quadrant plot 7 m. Vegetation has a diameter <5 cm categorized in seedling criteria and measured 30 cm from the ground within the quadrant plot radius of 2 m. The vegetation diversity experienced a succession calculated using the diversity index by calculating the dominance index, diversity index, and similarity index of vegetation. While the calculation of above-ground biomass accumulation using allometric equations according to the species. The results showed that vegetation analysis in the fourth study sites obtained a high dominance index value at each location. The study is inversely proportional to the value of diversity and similarity index. The highest total carbon stock at Tanjung Nipah location was 11.599 Mg C. Ha -1, followed by Sepatin 6.248 Mg C. Ha -1, Benati Dalam 3.579 Mg C. Ha -1, and lowest carbon stock at Bayur location 1.460 Mg C. Ha -1.
Bonylip barb (Osteochilus vittatus Valenciennes, 1842) that belongs to the Cyprinidae family is one of the native freshwater fishes in Indonesian waters. Currently, status of this species in Benanga Reservoir, East Kalimantan is in over-exploited. Fish resources management, therefore, is needed to maintained fish stock in the reservoir based on fish reproductive biology aspects. The purpose of this study was to analyze some aspects of the reproductive biology including sex-ratio, gonad maturity, length at first gonad maturity, spawning season, fecundity, and spawning patterns as basic information for its management. Fish collection was carried out monthly on the third week from January to May 2019 at three stations. The fish samples were captured by using experimental gill nets with mesh size of 1; 1.5; 2; and 3 inches. A total of 278 bonylip barb was caught, consist of 92 males and 186 females. Sex ratio of male and female in the gonad mature stage was 1: 2.4. The average length at first gonad maturity in male and female were 136.08 mm and 137.38 mm, respectively. Peak of spawning occurs during the rainy season in May, with more than 90% of fish in mature stage with GSI in male and female were 6.88%, 13.16% respectively. Total fecundity ranged from 7312-22923 eggs individual-1 and egg diameter ranged from 0.6-1.94 mm. According to distribution of egg diameter, bonylip barb was categoried as a total spawner. Some management strategies that can be carried out are using fishing gears with mesh size above 2 inches, limiting fishing activities in the peak of the spawning season, prohibiting fishing gear using electric shocker and protection the reservoir from erosion.

The Manggarai tribe who lives in the mountainous area of Ndoso Subdistrict is one of the tribes that still preserve the traditional culture to use natural resources, especially for plants as traditional medicines. Inheritance of knowledge about medicinal plants is very limited because of the media to deliver the information rely on the communication from parents to children and grandchildren to the generations in the family. Therefore, it is necessary to study about ethnobotany of medicinal plants in this community and determine the types of plants used to make traditional medicine. The methods of this research are the exploratory survey method and the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) approach. It is an assessment process that has an orientation to the involvement of the community in this research. The few steps in this study including survey, observation, interview, documentation, collection, identification and preservation by herbarium. There are 89 species of medicinal plants referring to 46 families of medicinal plants that are commonly used. The Manggarai people use wild plants found in the field, forest, and riverbank, and some are even deliberately cultivated. The method of processing medicinal plants commonly used is by boiled, chewed and patched, scraped, twisted, crushed, and without being processed.AbstrakSuku Manggarai yang bermukim pada kawasan pegunungan di Kecamatan Ndoso merupakan salah satu suku yang masih mempertahankan adat dan tradisi dalam penggunaan sumber daya alam khususnya tumbuhan sebagai obat tradisional.

The open-pit mining method has a very large ecological impact. It causes the loss of forest vegetation which decreases CO2 absorption. Measuring the amount of carbon stored in plant biomass can represent the amount of CO2 that can be absorbed in the atmosphere. The objective of this research is to determine the carbon sequestration of Albizia saman and Senna siamea in different age classes at PT MHU Busang Jonggon Block, Kukar, East Kalimantan. Estimation of carbon sequestration in the stands of A. saman and S. siamea was carried out by non-destructive methods using biomass allometric equations while in understorey and litter using the destruction sampling. The results showed that the highest carbon absorption value of A. saman was 314.28 tons/ha which appear at six years old stands and the lowest value was 193.31 tons/ha at three years old stands while the highest carbon absorption value of S. siamea was 113.65 tons/ha which appear at nine years old stands and the lowest value was 24.64 tons/ha at three years old stands. A. saman could be more promising plant species than S. siamea according to its higher level of carbon sequestration and their high adaptation level. All data from this study could suggest several information for increasing carbon sequestration level in forest ecosystem as well as achieving forest rehabilitation purpose.
