“…A study by Rahadiantoro and Siahaan (2016) on the diversity of Moraceae tree species in Telogo Dowo, Sempu Island recorded 14 species. The number of Ficus species found in this study was also very small compared to that obtained by Almulqu et al (2018) in Mutis Timau Protected Forest, East Nusa Tenggara. Based on these comparisons, the diversity of Moraceae species in Nglanggeran ancient volcano revealed in this study was obviously low.…”

Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano is one of the ecotourism areas in Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. This ancient volcano is one of the geological sites in Pegunungan Sewu. Pegunungan Sewu is a National Geopark in Indonesia and has been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark since 2015. The determination of an area into a National Geopark and Global Geopark makes the biodiversity in the area must be protected and preserved, including the plant diversity, one of which is Moraceae. The ecological and economic importance of Moraceae in Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano has not been documented properly. This fact encourages the need to do this research. The aim of this research was to record species diversity of Moraceae and its potential uses. The research was conducted in August-November 2019 at Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano and followed by data analysis in Plant Systematic Laboratory, Faculty of Biology, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The samples were collected at two different tracks, covering the track to the peak and the pathway down. There were six species found, namely Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., Ficus benjamina L., Ficus septica Burm. f., Maclura cochinchinensis (Lour.) Corner, and Streblus taxoides (Roth) Kurz. The potential uses of Moraceae by local people were identified from the interview and enriched by data from literature studies indicated that Moraceae plants were used as a food, medicine, for construction, soil protection plants, and houseplant.

“…Sampling plots were square with size 20m × 20m for measuring tree level, then divided into subplot 10m × 10m (pole level), 5m × 5m (sapling level), and 2m × 2m (understory and seedling level) (Sambas et al 2018;Raharjeng et al 2019). According to Almulqu et al (2018) and Hartoyo et al (2018), tree is defined as a stem that has reached diameter at breast height (DBH) >20 cm, while pole has 10 ≤ DBH ≤ 20 cm, sapling has DBH <10 cm and 1.5 m height, seedling and understory have < 1.5 m height.…”

Abstract. Hartoyo APP, Sunkar A, Ramadani R, Faluthi S, Hidayati S. 2021. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis for vegetation cover in Leuser Ecosystem area, Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 1160-1171. About 2 Mha of 24.3 Mha degraded area in Indonesia is inside conservation area. The Leuser Ecosystem Area (LEA) is the largest conservation area in Malesian forest that plays essential role in biodiversity and ecosystem services conservation efforts. It is the last habitat on earth where Sumatran tigers, elephants, orangutans, and rhinoceros are found together. However, LEA faces many threats, such as infrastructure development, and industrial palm oil plantation. Additionally, vegetation cover data as an approach to monitor forest cover changes in LEA is still lacking and baseline data regarding composition, structure as well as vegetation diversity in LEA is very limited. The objectives of this study were to analyze vegetation cover using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in LEA and its relation to agroforestry structure, composition and diversity in Agusen Village, Gayo Lues District and Alur Durin Village, East Aceh District, Aceh Province belonging to LEA. Based on the NDVI analysis, the largest area in LEA belonged to class 5, meaning that the most area in LEA was dominated by high dense vegetation (1,870,116.40 ha). The average accuracy and standard error of NDVI analysis were 83.33% and 2.62. LEA is an effective buffer for maintaining forest ecosystems and increasing the local communities' welfare through agroforestry system. Agroforestry structures in agroforestry practices, both in Agusen Village and Alur Durin Village did not reflect reverse-J curve, meaning that enrichment planting for increasing numbers of individual and species was necessary. Management of agroforestry system depends on the landowners or managers and their selection of shade tree species with high economic value with market demand such as C. arabica, T. cacao with A. moluccanus, L. leucocephala, H. brasiliensis, D. zibethinus, etc. Trees that produce non-timber products are also an alternative way for conservation strategy and sustainable utilization.

“…Middle and upland zones had a soil texture class in the form of sandy clay while in the highland zone was clay sandy loam (Table 6). Almulqu et al (2018) explained that the Gunung Mutis Natural Reservation is the wettest area on the Timor Island with rainfall almost every month throughout the year, with an average of 1500 up to 3000 mm/year. the soil texture in the nature reserve is also different from the other zones in East Nusa Tenggara, and sandalwood grew primarily in volcanic calcareous rocky terrain, shallow rocky soil, texture of clay soil from lime parent material, black soil color and red-brown.…”

Lio FXS, Dewi MPS. 2018. Karst vegetation in the natural habitat of sandalwood (Santalum album) at various altitude placesin Timor Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1703-1713. Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) was the superior commodity In SouthCentral Timor District, but it tends to decrease in number at present. South Central Timor has been highly regarded for the quality andformer abundance of its sandalwood stocks and it has been one of the most productive sources for sandalwood on Timor Island. It growsin the karst ecosystem at altitude of 450-1044 m asl. This study aims to assess karst vegetation in the natural habitat of sandalwood atthree elevation sites in South Central Timor. A total of 4 plots were placed in the middle land zone (307-382 m asl.), 7 plots in theupland zone (784-1031 m asl.), and 4 plots in the highland zone (1665-1782 m asl.). Data were sampled using a square plot measuring20 x 20m for tree, and the sub-plot of 1 x 1m for the ground vegetation category. Ecological data were measured together with thesampling of vegetation data, while the soil quality was assessed in the laboratory of Nusa Cendana University. The results showed thatthe higher a place from the sea surface, the less number of species was found. The highest number of species was found in the uplandzone, but it tended to decrease in the highland zone. Dominant species placed at each zone were also different, which in the middelandzone the dominant species were Acacia mangium, Tectona grandis, and Eleusine indica; in the upland zone, they were Lantana camara,Gmelina arborea, Senna siamea and Cyperus rotundus, whereas in highland zone was dominated by Senna occidentalis, Portulacaoleracea, Eucalyptus urophylla, and C. rotundus. The results of multiple regression analysis also showed that environmental factors didnot affect the species number in research sites. Ecological condition and soil quality in research sites indicated that those conditions aresuitable for sandalwood's growth.
