KALIMA, T., SUHARTI, S., SUMARHANI & TRETHOWAN, L. A. 2020. Tree species diversity and ethnobotany of degraded peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan. Reinwardtia 19(1): 27‒54. ‒‒ Most peat swamp forest has been degraded. This has resulted in decline of its biodiversity. The objective of this study was to identify the composition, diversity, and plants used by local people in Bagantung swamp forest. The study was conducted on degraded peat swamp forest area in Bagantung, Mantangai Sub-District, Kapuas District, Central Kalimantan Province. The Shannon-Wiener (H’) and the Importance Value (IV) indices were used for analyzing the species diversity and the species importance across a number of forest plots. Useful tree species were identified by interviewing local villagers. There were 2,562 individual plants in 32 plots (each plot 20 m × 20 m). We identified 100 tree species and 16 non-tree species, from 74 genera, and 46 families. Myrtaceae, Sapotaceae, Ebenaceae, Dipterocarpaceae and Clusiaceae were the most dominant families. Large tree (H’=1.46) and small tree diversity was similar (H’=1.75). In both small and large tree size classes Calophyllum nodusum was the most dominant species. There were 16 tree species and two non-tree species used by local people for house and boat construction, furniture, handicrafts, medicine, and insect repellent.

In order to describe the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) status of plants growing on peat soil, a study was carried out in the peat swamp forest of Setia Alam Jaya in Sebangau, Central Kalimantan. Out of 146 plant root samples belonging to 48 plant species from 25 families examined, all plants colonized by VAM fungi namely 14 (29.2 percent) high level, 32 (66.7 percent) medium level, and 2 (4.1 percent) low level respectively.

Gerunggang (Cratoxylon arborescens) is a potential peat swamp species to be developed as alternative pulp material. However, plantation on the degraded peat swamp forest are facing constraints such as acidic soil reaction. Thus, planting gerunggang on degraded peat swamp forest resulted in low survival rate and slow plant’s growth. Soil microbe such as arbuscular mycorrhiza has potential to increase plant’s growth and protecting plants from critical growth condition. Nevertheless, this potential has not been explored further. The objective of this research is to analyze the growth performance of gerunggang after inoculated with indigenous arbuscular mycorrhiza spores in the nursery. The arbuscular mycorrhiza spores were collected from degraded peat swamp forest of Central Kalimantan. The design arranged in this study was complete randomized (CRD) with 5 treatments (Control, Glomus sp.1, Glomus sp.2, Glomus sp.5 and Gigaspora sp.4.) and 50 replications. The number of seedling tested were 250. The result showed that arbuscular mycorrhiza innoculation was significant for gerunggang on the height growth (F4,303=5,767; p=0,00<0,05), number of leaves (F4,303= 3,475; p=0,009<0,05) and root colonization (F4,10 =7,619; p=0,004<0,05) with age of 3 months under nursery condition.Gerunggang (Cratoxylon arborescens) adalah jenis hutan rawa gambut yang potensial yang dapat dikembangkan sebagai alternatif bahan pulp. Akan tetapi pembangunan tanaman di lahan gambut bekas terbakar mengalami kesulitan yang salah satunya berhubungan dengan keasaman tanah gambut. Tanaman gerunggang pada lahan gambut paska terbakar biasanya memiliki daya hidup yang rendah dan pertumbuhan tanaman yang lambat. Mikroba tanah seperti mikoriza arbuskula memiliki potensi untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman dan melindungi tanaman dari kondisi yang kurang menguntungkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa penampilan pertumbuhan gerunggang setelah diinokulasi dengan spora mikoriza arbuskula asli gambut di persemaian. Spora mikoriza arbuskula yang dipakai pada penelitian ini diisolasi dari hutan rawa gambut terdegradasi di Kalimantan Tengah. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 5 perlakuan yaitu Kontrol, Glomus sp.1, Glomus sp.2, Glomus sp.5 dan Gigaspora sp.4.) dan 50 ulangan. Total unit perlakuan terdapat 250 tanaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inokulasi mikoriza arbuskula berbeda nyata untuk pertumbuhan tinggi gerunggang (F4,303=5,767; p=0,00<0,05), jumlah daun (F4,303= 3,475; p=0,009<0,05) dan kolonisasi akar (F4,10 =7,619; p=0,004<0,05) pada umur 3 bulan di persemaian.
