“…Most species found only in the >10-year site are species known to live in wet areas, i.e. Alchemilla vilosa, Equisetum debile, Galium subtrifidum, Ischaemum timorense, Lonicera acuminata, Plantago major dan Polytrias Indica (Quattrocchi 2006;Araujo et al 2014). The occurrence of those species is in agreement with the soil data presented earlier showing that the >10-year site had very high soil water content.…”

Abstract. Sulistyawati E, Fitriana S. 2017. Post fire succession in Tegal Panjang Grassland, Mount Papandayan, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1226-1233. Tegal Panjang is a grassland area surrounded by rainforest consisting of vegetation patches formed by fires occurring at different times. This condition presents a unique environmental setting allowing the study of vegetation succession after fire disturbance. The objectives of this research were (i) to determine the pattern of vegetative development and changes in environment conditions in post-fire grassland on five sites having different ages (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and more than 10 year) and (ii) to examine whether post-fire succession in grassland allows the establishment of tree seedling. Measurements were conducted for vegetation composition, aboveground biomass and edaphic factors (soil pH, water content, bulk density and organic content) in each site. The pattern of vegetation development in the course of succession in Tegal Panjang grassland is marked by increasing biomass and height of the vegetation as the stand ages but with a slow rate of species diversification. No tree saplings were found in all sites despite its close distance to the forest. Recruitment limitation associated with repeated fire disturbance may explain the absence of tree saplings in the grassland.

“…As an example, Allophyllus edulis, Sebastiania brasiliensis, and Pouteria salicifolia have potential for restoration projects due to their high IVI values and considerable representation in riverine forests. Allophyllus edulis and Sebastiania brasiliensis were already used for the environmental restoration of degraded areas in the Atlantic forest of Brazil [64]. These species can be used as buffers between plantations and riverine forests.…”

The ongoing debate on the boon or bane of monocultural timber plantations demonstrates the need to develop alternative approaches that achieve forest productivity while conserving biodiversity. We assessed the diversity of tree species in native forests and in Eucalyptus plantations, and evaluated the potential use of native species to enhance plantation management. For this purpose, we established one-hectare permanent plots in nine native forests (riverine and park forests) and nine Eucalyptus plantations in the northwestern part of Uruguay. Forest inventories were carried out on 200 m2 plots and regeneration was assessed along transects in 9 m2 subplots. Riverine forests have the highest Shannon diversity index (2.5) followed by park forests (2.1) and Eucalyptus plantations (1.3). Tree density was high in riverine forests (1913/ha) and plantations (1315/ha), whereas park forests have lower tree density (796/ha). Regeneration density was high in riverine forests (39136/ha) and park forests (7500/ha); however, native species can regenerate in the understory of plantations (727/ha), and this underlines the possibility of developing a mixed species approach to reduce the negative impact of monocultures. Differences in the composition of plant communities were denoted between native forests and plantations, although native forests were similar in composition, even in the presence of exotic species. Native forests harbor specialist species that are absent from plantations, and therefore perform a decisive role in maintaining local biodiversity. Strategies to enhance species diversity and structural diversity within plantations or to establish mixed buffer strips containing native species at the edge of plantations are potential measures to enhance biodiversity and foster the integration of plantations into the local landscape.
