Orchid Exploration in the Forest of Saenam Village as Nuftah Plasma Conservation

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of determining the types of orchid species in the Saenam Protected Forest, North Middle East Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The Saenam Protected Forest has an area of ±10 km2, has biodiversity, including orchids. One of the information regarding the orchid inventory in Timor Mainland, especially in the Saenam Protection Forest, North Middle East Regency has never been reported. It is necessary to carry out this exploratory research as a basic data of the existing biological resources in the location. The research was carried out in July-September 2021. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling with sampling using a plot method measuring 10 x 40 m. The distance of each plot is 10 m with the total number of plots in this study is 10 plots. The results showed that the types of orchids found in the Saenam Protection Forest were 9 genera of orchids. All orchids found in this study belong to the type of epiphytic orchid. The dominant orchids in this research area are Pholidota globusa, Dendrobium smilliae var. alba, and Dendrobium smilliae. The types of host trees found in the orchids were Pine and Forest Water Guava

Soil Quality Index Analysis of Pine Forest Land Use Types on Dryland in Aceh Besar Regency

“…Sustainable and sustainable land management efforts can prevent land degradation and are able to store nutrients in pine forest land use types and can store carbon sequestration which can reduce global warming due to the large amount of CO2 content in the air. Classification of a vegetation/land use type is necessary as a basic effort in assessing the diversity of biological resources (Dewi et al, 2022) For all types of soil to remain fertile, the type of land use is crucial. Leaching of nutrients frequently occurs in the pine forest land use type, which is primarily planted in Aceh Besar Regency's highlands.…”
