AbstrakCobaea scandens Cav. (Polemoniaceae) merupakan tumbuhan riparian dari Meksiko yang telah lama ditanam di Kebun Raya Cibodas (KRC). Jenis tersebut dilaporkan sebagai tumbuhan invasif di beberapa negara. Sebagai tumbuhan invasif, jenis tersebut dapat mengancam ekosistem sekitar sehingga pertumbuhannya perlu dikendalikan. Meskipun demikian, informasi mengenai keberadaannya di KRC dan sekitarnya masih sedikit. Oleh karena itu, dalam makalah ini diuraikan mengenai sebaran populasi di kawasan KRC dan sekitarnya, dalam rangka mencari rekomendasi yang tepat dalam upaya pengendaliannya. Pengamatan dilakukan menggunakan metode survei dengan pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling, terutama di kawasan riparian dan hutan restan KRC dan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP). Hasilnya, terdapat sembilan titik populasi C. scandens terutama di Sungai Ciwalen yang juga melintasi TNGGP. Secara ekologi, C. scandens tumbuh pada habitat yang terbuka hingga sedikit naungan, daerah yang basah, di tepian sungai dan hutan restan pada ketinggian 1.255 hingga 1.425 mdpl. Cobaea scandens tumbuh memanjat pada pohon tegakan atau semak dan membentuk tutupan yang lebat di atas permukan tumbuhan bawah, sehingga dapat mengancam tumbuhan lokal di kawasan tersebut. Dari hasil yang diperoleh, rekomendasi yang disarankan adalah melakukan eradikasi secara mekanis, terutama sebelum musim buah terjadi,untuk menurunkan kelimpahan jenis dan mencegah proses regenerasinya dapat terjadi. Abstract Cobaea scandens Cav. (Polemoniaceae), anriparian species from Mexico, were cultivated in Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) for a long years ago. This species was reported as invasive species in several countries. As an invasive plant, this species can be threaten the surrounding ecosystem, so the growth need to be controlled. However, there is a few information of this species in CBG and its surrounding. Therefore, this paper described the population distribution of C. scandens at CBG and its surroundings, in order to find appropriate recommendation for the control efforts. Observation was conducted by survey method with purposive sampling, especially riparian and remnant forest areas. Based on our observations showed that C. scandens is fast growing on opens habitats to slighty shade, with high humidity. At least, there are nine population plot of C. scandens especially in the Ciwalen River, which also crosses in National Park of Mt. Gede Pangrango (TNGGP) areas. Ecologically, C. scandens grows in open area or slightly shaded, wet, in river banks and remnant forest at 1,255 to 1,425 masl. They can climb a tree or shrubs and forming a dense canopy over understorey, to threaten native species in thus area. From the results, a mechanical eradication effort need to be carried out, especially before fruiting season, to reduce their abundance and prevent the regeneration process from occured.

Abstract Ecological forecasts of the extent and impacts of invasive species can inform conservation management decisions. Such forecasts are hampered by ecological uncertainties associated with non-analog conditions resulting from the introduction of an invader to an ecosystem. We developed a state-and-transition simulation model tied to a fire behavior model to simulate the spread of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) in Saguaro National Park, AZ, USA over a 30-year period. The simulation models forecast the potential extent and impact of a buffelgrass invasion including size and frequency of fire events and displacement of saguaro cacti and other native species. Using simulation models allowed us to evaluate how model uncertainties affected forecasted landscape outcomes. We compared scenarios covering a range of parameter uncertainties including model initialization (landscape susceptibility to invasion) and expert-identified ecological uncertainties (buffelgrass patch infill rates and precipitation). Our simulations showed substantial differences in the amount of buffelgrass on the landscape and the size and frequency of fires for dry years with slow patch infill scenarios compared to wet years with fast patch infill scenarios. We identified uncertainty in buffelgrass patch infill rates as a key area for research to improve forecasts. Our approach could be used to investigate novel processes in other invaded systems.

Heracleum mantegazzianum (giant hogweed) is an invasive alien plant of management concern in southern Canada where it has escaped from horticulture and established and spread in natural, ruderal, and agricultural ecosystems. It poses a threat to natural ecosystems and human health, and is also a weed in agricultural and urban areas. It is a member of the Carrot family (Apiaceae) and is closely related to the native species Heracleum maximum Bartram (cow-parsnip). It is a monocarpic perennial, which generally flowers in its 3rd or 4th year. Large size, leaf shape, dark reddish pigments in patches on stems and petioles, and fruit characteristics readily distinguish H. mantegazzianum from other plants in Canada. It is increasingly common in riparian areas, floodplains, and forest edges in or near urban areas in southwestern British Columbia and southern Ontario. Based on herbarium specimens, H. mantegazzianum was first recorded in Ontario in 1949, British Columbia in 1964, Nova Scotia in 1980, Quebec in 1990, and New Brunswick in 2000. The development of dense stands of H. mantegazzianum can also reduce the richness of native plants. Contact with H. mantegazzianum can cause phytophotodermatitis, a serious skin inflammation caused by UV photo-activation of furanocoumarins present in the sap. Control methods include herbicide application, mechanical cutting, and animal grazing, but strategies to address seed dispersal and re-establishment from dormant seed must also be adopted. Widespread establishment in southern Canada suggests that eradication is unlikely. However, range expansion and rapid population growth can be prevented through strategic management including public education. Key words: Giant hogweed, Heracleum mantegazzianum, Apiaceae, HERMZ, invasive plant, weed biology, furanocoumarins

Blue bull is Asia’s largest antelope, a species of least concern in IUCN Red data list of 2020. In Nepal, it is vulnerable and is often considered as a problem animal for its crop raiding habit. Although, its population is restricted in India and Nepal, there are insufficient studies conducted on the distribution and threats of the species at local level. This study aimed to assess the distribution of blue bull and its conservation threats in Bardia National Park and its buffer zone. Field survey was carried out to identify the potential area with the information provided by park staff and buffer zone people and by the transect method in the selected habitat to determine the distribution of blue bull population. Additionally, six focus group discussions (1 in each of thefive sites and 1 with park staff) and a half-day workshop (involving 25 participants representing each site and park office) were organized to assess the existing threats to the species. Data were analyzed descriptively using MS Excel, while the distribution map was prepared using Arc GIS. Also, 8 major identified threats were ranked using relative threat ranking procedure and classified into four severity classes. We found that the population of blue bull was dispersed from core area of Bardia National Park towards the buffer zone area. Open grazing, invasive species, predation by tiger and flash flood were the major threats to the blue bull as perceived by the local people. Habitat management activities including control of grazing, removal of invasive plant species, plantation of palatable grass species, increase in other prey species of tiger and control of flood in blue bull’s habitats are recommended to protect the species and thus sustain their threatened population.
