A vegetation survey of the Witbank Nature Reserve, comprising 847 hectares, was conducted. Phytosociological data were used to identify plant communities, as well as to determine alpha and beta diversities. Eleven plant communities were recognised, two of these are subdivided into sub- communities, resulting in 14 vegetation units. These communities represent four main vegetation types, namely grassland, woodland, wetland and disturbed vegetation. Grassland communities have the highest plant diversity and wetland vegetation the lowest. Floristic composition indicates that the vegetation of the Rocky Highveld Grassland has affinities to the grassland and savanna biomes and also to the Afromontane vegetation of the Great Escarpment. An ordination scatter diagram shows the distribution of the 14 plant communities or sub-communities along a soil moisture gradient, as well as along a soil depth/surface rock gradient. The sequence of communities along the soil moisture gradient is used for calculating beta-diversity indices. It is concluded that the relatively small size of the Witbank Nature Reserve is unlikely to have significant negative effects on the phytodiversity of the various plant communities. This nature reserve is therefore of considerable importance in conserving a representative sample of the Rocky Highveld Grassland.

Abstract. Cahyanto T, Efendi M, Ramdan DM. 2020. Structure and composition of trees in Mount Tilu Nature Reserve, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 2674-2680. An understanding of the structure and composition of stands in a conservation area is needed to support sustainable management strategy. However, this information in the Mount Tilu Nature Reserve, Bandung District, West Java area is still lacking. This research was aimed to analyze the structure and composition of tree species in the block of Malagembol forest, Mt. Tilu NR. Data collection was carried out through vegetation analysis using sampling plot method with size of 10x100 m2 at three-level altitudes of 1530 m, 1745 m, and 1950 m asl. Observation parameters included species names, number of individuals, and diameter at breast height (dbh). Data were analyzed to determine the floristic composition, species structure based on their diameter class, relative basal area, diversity indices, and analysis of the importance of the main components of trees species through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A total of 32 tree species from 23 families was found in the observation plots which was dominated by Fagaceae, Lauraceae, and Myrtaceae families. Some pioneer plants covered the gap in vegetation due to minor disturbance and residual damage in the past. Nonetheless, the dominance of stands with small diameters indicated good regeneration status following such disturbance. Based on these findings, we recommend protecting the vegetation in Mt. Tilu NR by limiting community activities that can disturb the forest.

Природно-культурный заповедник Донг Най - самый большой заповедник в Юго-Восточном регионе Вьетнама. Территория заповедника Донг Най состоит из трех земельных участков, расположенных в коммунах Ма Да, Хиеу Лием и Фу Ли уезда Винь Кыу в провинции Донг Най. Заповедник создан с тремя основными целями: сохранение разнообразия естественной лесной экосистемы в пределах провинции Донг Най сохранение и популяризация объектов культурного наследия (памятников истории и культуры) региона сохранение биологического разнообразия и развитие экологического туризма. Исследование показало, что люди, живущие в окрестностях заповедника Донг Най, использовали различные виды растений в качестве средств лечения нескольких недугов, перечисленных в исследуемой области. Растения являются единственными доступными ресурсами для первой помощи, так как медицинские центры находятся далеко от коммуны Фу Ли. 90 таксонов были процитированы людьми для их целебной пользы, среди них 10 таксонов были самыми используемыми лекарственными растениями. Было установлено, что наибольшее число видов, используемых для лечения этих заболеваний, приходится на семейство Ароидных (Araceae). Большинство лекарственных растений, используемых в нашей области исследования, были собраны в природе и культивируются. Местные жители выразили твердое согласие относительно использования растений для ухода за людьми. Коренное население Чоро обладает ценными знаниями об использовании ресурсов лекарственных растений, которые передаются из поколения в поколение, однако эти знания не были задокументированы. В исследовании подчеркивается необходимость документирования и распространения традиционных медицинских знаний, которые обеспечат базовые данные для дальнейших исследований и их сохранение. Dong Nai Culture and Nature Reserve (Dong Nai Reserve) is the biggest reserve in the Southern East region of Vietnam. The territory of Dong Nai Reserve consists of three land parcels located in the communes of Ma Da, Hieu Liem and Phu Ly, Vinh Cuu district in Dong Nai province. Dong Nai Reserve was established with three major objectives: to preserve the diversity of the natural forest ecosystem within Dong Nai province to preserve and promote the cultural heritage (historical and cultural monuments) of the region to preserve biological diversity and to develop ecological tourism. The study showed that people living in the surroundings of Dong Nai Reserve forest used various plant species as remedies for several ailments listed in the study area. Plants are the only available and accessible resources for first cares as health base centers are far from the Phu Ly village. 90 species were cited by people for their medicinal uses, among them 10 species were the most used medicinal plants. Araceae family was found to have had the highest number of species used in treating these ailments. Most of the medicinal plants used in our study area were collected from the forest and cultivation. Local people showed strong agreement on the use of plants for peoples care. Cho Ro ethnic group holds valuable knowledge about uses of medicinal plant resources which is inherited through generations however this knowledge was not documented. The study highlights the need for documenting and publicizing the traditional medicinal knowledge which will provide basic data for further research and conservation.

Vegetation research is an important tool for the simplified and effective identification, management and conservation of the very complex ecosystems underlying them. Plant community descriptions offer scientists a summary and surrogate of all the biotic and abiotic factors shaping and driving ecosystems. The aim of this study was to identify, describe and map the plant communities within the uMlalazi Nature Reserve. A total of 149 vegetation plots were sampled using the Braun-Blanquet technique. Thirteen plant communities were identified using a combination of numeric classification (modified Two-way-Indicator Species Analysis) and ordination (non-metric multidimensional scaling). These communities were described in terms of their structure, floristic composition and distribution. An indirect gradient analysis of the ordination results was conducted to investigate the relationship between plant communities and their potentially important underlying environmental drivers. Based on the results, the floristic conservation importance of each plant community was discussed to provide some means to evaluate the relative contribution of the reserve to regional ecosystem conservation targets.Conservation implications: The uMlalazi Nature Reserve represents numerous ecosystems that are disappearing from a rapidly transforming landscape outside of formally protected areas in Zululand. The descriptions of the plant communities of these relatively pristine ecosystems provide conservation authorities with inventories and benchmarks with which the ecological health of similar ecosystems in the region can be measured.

Table Method

The vegetation of the Jack Scott Nature Reserve in the Central Bankenveld Veld Type is classified chiefly by the Braun-Blanquet Table Method. Habitat features, physiognomy, total floristic composition, differentiating species, woody plants and prominent grasses and forbs are presented for each community. Characterizing habitat features, in order of importance for the communities, are: exposure, soil texture, geology, slope, aspect, degree of rockiness and previous ploughing. The classification correlates well with the major physiographic and climatic variation in the Reserve and generally does not cut across main physiognomic types. The communities are potentially homogeneous management units.
