Abstract Peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia are under heavy pressure. Deforestation, forest degradation, wildfires, and drainage have damaged or destroyed substantial areas of the once extensive peat swamp forest formations. Several efforts are underway to rehabilitate degraded peat forests areas in order to restore some of the valuable ecosystem services these forested areas once provided. However, these efforts often result in (mixed)-plantations that only partly resemble the original peat forests. Information about these peat swamp forests’ complex origin and ecology is needed to improve restoration outcomes further. Our paper analyses historical data from coastal peat swamp forests in Sarawak and Brunei and discusses the potential to use this as the reference value for intact peat forests. We describe the observed stand structure and species composition for pristine peat swamp forest, and we analyze the population structure of three dominant peat swamp forest species: Gonystylus bancanus (ramin), Dactylocladus stenostachys (jongkong) and Shorea albida (alan batu). We compare the historical data with data from recently measured, degraded peat swamp forests. We discuss our results in relation to processes of peat dome formation, nutrient availability and hydrology, and give recommendations for peat swamp forest management and restoration.

The Impact

Abstract Global tropical peat swamp forest ecosystems mostly are found in Indonesia. However, these unique yet fragile ecosystems are subject to deforestation and degradation due to forest fires and land conversion. Peat swamp forests are well known for their ecosystem services related to global climate mitigation because they store carbon inside and are very vulnerable to forest fires. Another direct function is providing various needs for the indigenous people livelihoods who live close to and in the areas. This study was conducted qualitatively to assess the forest utilization and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the livelihoods of indigenous people. The study results show that the Dayak Ngaju Communities utilize the forest for timber, non-timbers, medicinal plants, foods, and religious culture. There is no significant impact of COVID-19 on forest product collection activities, but the pandemic impacts the marketing and sales of forest products. The marketing of fish and other non-timber forest products has been negatively affected due to decreased demand and limited transportation. On the contrary, the use, need, and demand for medicinal plants for the traditional medicine of COVID-19 is increasing significantly and improving local livelihoods.

Authors. 2018. Molecular phylogeny of trees species in Tripa Peat Swamp Forest, Aceh, Indonesia inferred by 5.8S nucleargen. Biodiversitas 19: 1186-1193. Tripa peat swamp forest is protected areas that have high biodiversity. Nevertheless, in some areas,the damage occurred due to conversions of land function to oil palm plantations. The impact of conversions of peat swamp forest to oilpalm plantations has led to biodiversity decreased. Hence, it is important to identify the remain tree species in Tripa peat swamp forest.This study aimed to determine of trees species diversity in Tripa peat swamp forest by using of 5.8S rRNA nuclear gene. Research wasconducted at Forest Genetics and Molecular Forestry Laboratory, Faculty of Forestry, IPB from September 2015 to August 2016.Molecular identification consisted of DNA extraction, PCR analysis, and sequencing. The data were analyzed using Bioedit, MEGA 6,BLAST, and ITS2 database. Molecular identification using ITS 1 and ITS 4 primer successfully amplified (the ITS region ITS1-5.8SITS2)of 16 trees species from 9 families. BLAST analysis results indicate the presence of 16 species has similar bases sequence withthe GeneBank DNA database. The plant species are Branckenridgea palustris (Ochnaceae), Gonystylus sp. (Thymelaeaceae),Tristaniopsis whiteana (Myrtaceae), Syzygium sp.1 (Myrtaceae), Macaranga triloba (Euphorbiaceae), Syzygium garciniifolium(Myrtaceae), Knema intermedia (Myristicaceae), Palaquium ridleyi (Sapotaceae), Palaquium sp. (Sapotaceae), Dyera lowii(Apocynaceae), Elaeocarpus petiolatus (Elaeocarpaceae), Ficus sp. (Moraceae), Syzygium leptostemon (Myrtaceae), Chilocarpussuaveolens (Apocynaceae), Alstonia pneumatophora (Apocynaceae), and Alstonia sp. (Apocynaceae). Phylogeny tree reconstructionusing the Neighbor-Joining Method (NJ) showed that 5.8S rRNA nuclear gene was successful as marker for 16 trees species from 9different families. In addition, the 5.8S also successful for resolving phylogenetic relationships at genus level i.e. Alstonia, Palaquium,Syzygium, Tristaniopsis, Macaranga, Elaeocarpus, and Ficus.

Forest Concessions

Peat swamp forest concessions and managements in Central Kalimantan have caused forest degradation resulting in the occurrence of forest fragmentation. The efforts on ecosystem restoration should be made based on the characteristics of fragmented peat swamp forest. This study aimed to find out the characteristics of degraded peat swamp forest assessed from the indicators of tree species diversity, community structure, and species dominance as well as their relationships with environmental conditions in various situations of fragmentation. The diversity of tree species tends to decrease following disturbance gradient, where the lowest was found near the edge. The community structure of the forest edge was dominated by small stand (diameter class of 6-10 cm) and dominated by Combretocarpus rotundatus of 60%. This condition was affected by environmental factors (67,2% - 71,8%): competition, site condition, microclimate and inundation.Keywords: disturbance characteristics; peat swamp forests; diversity; environmental factorsPengusahaan dan pengelolaan hutan rawa gambut selama ini di Kalimantan Tengah ternyata menyebabkan kerusakan yang menyebabkan hutan rawa gambut terfragmentasi. Usaha perbaikan ekosistem tersebut harus berdasarkan pada karakteristik dari ekosistem hutan rawa gambut yang terfragmentasi tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari karakteristik hutan rawa gambut terdegradasi yang terdiri dari indikator keanekaragaman jenis pohon, struktur komunitas, dan dominansi jenis serta hubungannya dengan kondisi lingkungan yang dilihat pada berbagai kondisi fragmentasi. Keanekaragaman jenis pohon semakin jauh dari hutan semakin rendah begitu juga dengan jumlah jenis dan kerapatan vegetasinya. Struktur komunitas pada bagian tepi hutan didominasi oleh tegakan berukuran kecil (kelas diameter 6-10cm) dan dominansi jenisnya hanya terpusat pada sedikit jenis dimana jenis Combretocarpus rotundatus mencapai 60%. Kondisi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan (67,2% - 71,8%) yaitu kompetisi dan kondisi lahan serta iklim mikro dan tinggi muka air tanah (genangan).Kata Kunci : karakteristik kerusakan; hutan rawa gambut; keanekaragaman; faktor lingkungan

The Tripa Peat Swamp Forest (TPSF) suffers from deforestation due to agriculture, this habitat degradation potentially has a negative impact on fish biodiversity and community assemblages. The objective of this study was to develop an inventory of the fish fauna, evaluate the spatial variation in assemblage structure, document alien species, and quantify the economic value of fish species found from the area. Fish assemblages from the main rivers and tributaries of TPSF were sampled on May to June 2013. A total of 764 individuals were sampled during the survey, constituting 34 families, 47 genera, and 73 species where 46 species are categorized as fish consumption, 17 have potential for aquaculture, and 10 species have potential for ornamental, and three are non native. Cyprinidae is the predominant fish family within the TPSF. Fish assemblages were generally characterized by small population size for each species and low similarity among sites, reflecting the distinctive nature of each sampling site.
