Suryana, Iskandar J, Parikesit, Partasasmita R. 2018. Ethnobotany of tree ferns in Pasir Menyan Hamlet, Sukamandi Village, Subang, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 2044-2051. Tree ferns are plants that grow mostly in the highlands, such as in the forest area of ​​Tangkuban Perahu Mountain, Subang, West Java, Indonesia. The existence of tree ferns and their population are threatened, along with forest damage and over-exploitation. The present study was directed to examine the local knowledge of the community around the forest area of ​​Mount Tangkuban Perahu in term of local names, utilization, suitability to grow, and conservation efforts of tree fern. This research was conducted in Pasir Menyan Hamlet, Sukamandi Village, Subang, West Java in March-June 2017. The method used in this study was mixed-method, a combination of qualitative and quantitative, while some field techniques, including observation, semi-structured interviews, structured interviews, and botanical survey of tree ferns were carried out. The results of the study showed that it was recorded 8 landraces of tree fern were recognized by informants, namely pakis tihang, pakis sieur, bagedor, pakis minyak, pakis payung, pakis cempor, pakis bulu, and sijabrig. In terms of local knowledge on tree ferns, people with ages 50-59 years old recorded a right a higher percentage of tree ferns than the children and younger people. Regarding education, the result showed that a low level of education had the highest level of knowledge of local names and utilization of tree ferns as vegetables, ornamental plants, growing media, and for handicrafts because of they still intensive interaction with forest ecosystem and tree ferns. On the basis conservation of tree ferns, the rural people of Sundanese people have a tradition to prohibit (pamali) to cut forest on the river bank, open slopes, closed forests, damaged forest areas, and in the valleys. In addition, traditional conservation practice on tree ferns has recorded, for example, rural people of Pasir Menyan Hamlets have traditional prohibited to open sacred forest, including to take of tree ferns.

Iskandar J, Iskandar BS, Partasasmita R. 2016.The Local knowledge of the rural people on species, role, and hunting of birds: case study in Karangwangi village, Cidaun, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 17: 435-446. Based on the ecological history, in the past many villages of in Indonesia including in West Java had a high diversity of birds. Nowadays, however, the diversity of birds in some villages of West Java has tended to decrease due to many factors, namely habitat loss, the use of pesticides, and intensive illegal bird hunting. The objective of this paper is to elucidate the local knowledge of Karangwangi village, West Java on species, role, and hunting of birds. Method used in this study is the qualitative and ethnoornithological approach with descriptive analysis. Results of study show that the Karangwangi people have a very good knowledge on bird species, particularly on level species/specific. Various bird species are traditionally classified into nine local categories (folk classification), namely based on distinctive voice/vocalization, morphological characteristic, special color, distinctive behavior, time activity, special common habitat, migrant, nest characteristics, and role in the ecosystem. Based on the rural people perception, the role of birds can be divided into two categories, namely notorious and beneficial birds. The diversity of rural birds has tended decrease over time due to various factors, including illegal bird hunting for various purposes of the village people, such as keep a bird in cages and bird trading. The study suggests the perception of rural people on birds have changed caused of socio-economic and cultural changes. Nowadays the bird hunting in the rural area has tended to shift from a purely subsistence form towards a more commercial form and, thus, to conserve bird species the study on ethnoornithology considered as a very important, and socio-economic and cultural rural people aspects might be integrated to national as well as international bird conservation programs.

Gunawan R, Ramadhan UG, Iskandar J, Partasasmita R. 2017. Local knowledge of utilization and management of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) among Cipanggulaan People of Karyamukti, Cianjur (West Java, Indonesia). Biodiversitas 19: 93-105. Sugar palm, locally known as kawung or aren, (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr.) has long been known for its various ecological, economic, and socio-cultural uses among rural people of West Java. Rural people have utilized and managed kawung based on their local knowledge. Nowadays, however, the abundance of kawung trees has been decreasing in many areas, for example, through reduction in planting and destruction. The decreasing experience in managing kawung trees among local people has eroded their local knowledge, and therefore documenting this knowledge is important before it disappears entirely. This paper (i) reports local knowledge of the Cipanggulaan people of Cianjur, West Java on landraces of sugar palm; (ii) identifies various uses of sugar palm by those people, and (iii) describes traditional management systems for the sugar palm conducted by those people. This study adopted qualitative methods developed in ethnobotany based on participant observation and in-depth interviews. Research findings identified two local landraces and at least 10 different plant parts used in various ways. Particular attention was paid to the making of palm sugar in various ways. Conservation of the sugar palm has traditionally been conducted by selective harvesting of the sugar palm fruit and allowing some palms to regenerate naturally.

<p><b>Epiphytes and other structurally-dependent plants have a spatial ecology and community structure intrinsically linked to that of the host trees in the forest, unlike fully terrestrial plants. Understanding of the ecological implications of this from a theoretical perspective is in its infancy. New Zealand’s south temperate rainforest, whilst not as species rich as tropical forests, hosts one of the richest temperate epiphyte floras. Our understanding of the ecological processes structuring the epiphyte communities of New Zealand forests is however lacking. Here, I present four key studies seeking to add to our knowledge of epiphyte community structure, host specificity and spatial ecology in the New Zealand eco-region.</b></p> <p>First, I tested if seed size determined the likelihood of woody plant species occurring epiphytically on tree ferns (their arboreality) – Chapter 2. Arboreality was negatively related to seed size, with only smaller-seeded species commonly occurring on tree ferns. However, the effect of seed size reduced in later life history stages, as expected. These small-seeded species, most notably Weinmannia racemosa, appear to be utilising an alternative recruitment strategy by establishing epiphytically on the tree fern trunks.</p> <p>Second, on Cyathea dealbata host tree ferns, I tested patterns of species accumulation, metacommunity network structure, and differences in vertical stratification (Chapter 3). Epiphytes and climbers followed a species accumulation model of succession between tree ferns of different sizes and between older and younger portions of the tree fern. The metacommunity network showed patterns of species co-occurrence and nestedness consistent with null expectations. Epiphytes of different habits and different dispersal syndromes show different vertical profiles of occurrence, with bird-dispersed species occurring more often near the top of the tree fern than other taxa.</p> <p>To understand an unusual pattern in epiphyte between-host structuring, I quantified the relationship between epiphytic plant and sooty mould assemblages in New Zealand montane beech forest (Chapter 4). Due to the presence of host specific scale insects, the sooty mould was limited to two of three co-dominant canopy tree species. On these two host species, epiphyte richness was significantly reduced. The host size-richness relationship in these two species was also removed, with species composition significantly altered compared to the mould free host species. My results are consistent with the sooty mould amensally excluding the epiphytes and it can be considered as a part of a keystone species complex (with the host beeches and scale insects). This produces a strong pattern of parallel host specificity otherwise not seen in epiphyte assemblages.</p> <p>Lastly, I compared the differences in spatial niche and host species diversity between three arboreal plants, with divergent ecophysiology, on Lord Howe Island (Chapter 5). These focal species were a dwarf mistletoe, an epiphytic orchid and an epiphytic fern. The mistletoe was restricted to thinner branches, and had a significantly different niche to both epiphyte taxa. The host diversity of the mistletoe and orchid both differed significantly from null model expectations. However, the epiphytic fern (Platycerium bifurcatum) had a host diversity consistent with null expectations.</p> <p>Taken together, these studies increase our understanding of epiphyte community assembly in New Zealand and provide a platform to encourage further work in this field. They also provide results that expand understanding of spatial patterns between host and up vertical clines.</p>

Existing research shows that the main tourist attraction of mangrove forest area in Sedari Village so far is mere the scenery which tends not to involve the participation and experience of tourists within the tourism activities. This indicates that the existing potential has not yet fully utilized. Moreover, tourism activities were temporarily postponed and stopped during the Public Activity Restrictions (PPKM) that carried out to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to explore the creative tourism potential of mangrove forest area in Sedari Village, Cibuaya District, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. This study utilised descriptive research method with exploratory approach. Primary and secondary data were obtained through interviews and literature study. This study found that (1) The mangrove forest of Sedari Village has the potential for the development of creative tourism; (2) Development towards creative tourism has not yet optimally implemented. It was just started in 2021 that there are no well-planned programs, managers nor management. At present; (3) Types of creative tourism can be developed in Sedari mangrove forest areas, including birdwatching, processing mangrove based tourism products; tourism activities involving tourist active participation, as well as tourist cooperation with local communities and mangrove forest area managers. This study recommends for the renovation and revitalization of a number of physical infrastructures for the development of creative tourism activities; the enhancement of tourism human resources qualifications and competencies; as well as strengthening the working partnership amongst relevant stakeholders. Keywords: creative tourism, active participation, mangrove forest, sedari village, pandemic COVID-19

In this article we describe and analyze the use of plant resources in a region nearby a conservation area. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, in which we asked the interviewees to free list the plants known. Species cited were identified through collection of botanical samples, and field observations. Fifty-eight inhabitants were interviewed; banana farming, cattle ranching, and extracting palm hearts are their main economic activities. A total of 248 ethnospecies were mentioned, including over 200 botanical species. Plants were grouped into four habitats (A = well-preserved forest; B = disturbed forest in old successional stages; C = recently disturbed environments; D = cultivated areas and home gardens). Highest diversity is known for plants from A habitats, followed by C+D, and finally by B areas; however, a higher number of species is expected in B areas when compared to C+D. There is a small number of common species, and comparable proportions of intermediate and rare species, for all habitats. Common species occur in all types of habitats. Local knowledge of plants from well-preserved habitats is more diverse than for plants from other areas, suggesting that the relationship between inhabitants and the conservation area is still intense.
