Pola penyebaran anakan jenis pohon emergent (Shorea sp.), kanopi (Maduca malaccensis) dan toleran naungan (Aglaia tomentosa) telah diamati pada hutan dataran rendah luapan banjir di Berau, Kalimantan Timur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, penyebaran anakan ketiga jenis pohon tersebut sangat dipengaruhi oleh agen dispersal buah. Anakan Shorea sp., yang mana memiliki buah tipe samara, sebagian besar tersebar pada bagian Utara-Barat pohon induknya, mengikuti arah angin yang menerbangkan buahnya. Anakan dua jenis lainnya, yang mana buahnya yang bertipe berry sangat disukai oleh binatang mamalia, menyebar secara lebih merata. Struktur populasi anakan ketiga jenis tersebut menunjukkan kecenderungan yang berbeda. Shorea sp. menunjukkan struktur populasi berbentuk huruf J terbalik yang sangat tajam, sedangkan struktur populasi anakan dua jenis lainnya cenderung berbentuk garis horizontal. Perbedaan struktur populasi tersebut terkait dengan toleransi jenis-jenis tersebut terhadap naungan. Buah Shorea sp. yang jumlahnya melimpah segera berkecambah setelah jatuh, namun pertumbuhan anakan selanjutnya tertahan oleh naungan kanopy hutan yang sangat rapat. Key words : Dispersal, Juvenil, Emergent, Canopy, Shade-tolerant

Protection forest becomes a forest area with the main function as protection of life support systems. The health condition of protected forests has a great influence on the environment of the ecosystem. It is important to assess the health of protected forests in view of their main function. Thus to determine the health condition of the forest, one indicator that can be used is tree biodiversity. Biodiversity is the richness of life found on earth. Assessment of biodiversity indicators is very necessary to do because it is sensitive to changes, ecological system indicators, spatial heterogeneity, temporal, and and the order in the food chain. This study aims to determine the diversity of tree species in protected forest areas managed by HKm Beringin Jaya as an indicator of forest health assessment. The study was conducted using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method. The results showed that the final value of forest health status with indicators of biodiversity (tree species diversity) in the protected forest area managed by HKm Beringin Jaya was in the good category of 50% in cluster plots (2, 5 and 6) and bad by 50% on cluster plots (1, 3 and 4), thus showing that the protected forest area managed by HKm Beringin Jaya has a fairly healthy (stable) condition with a moderate category.

The article is about the biodiversity of xylotrophic fungi of oak and hornbeam forests of Abkhazia and related destructive processes of the main forest-forming species (oak and hornbeam). The species composition of fungi subjected to phytopathogenic and saprotrophic methods of decomposition was determined. The species composition of mycobiota, causing wood xylolysis practically up to the last stages of decomposition, has been determined. Key words: biodiversity, xylotrophic fungi, succession, Republic of Abkhazia.

Functional components of the landscape units, phases and tracts of the suburban forest area of Lviv Vynnyky were analyzed. Case study of the forest geosystems, such as, for example, the landscape phases, shows the research of biometrical index of the forests which are concentrated specifically in this area. On the drawings of the landscape phases of this specific area the division of the forests, which shows the full picture of their areal division, is shown. Key words: landscape phases, landscape tracts, forest geosystems, suburban forest area of Lviv Vynnyky.

RESUMO The permanence of a plant species in a forest community depends on its number of specimens and its distribution in the various sizes of individuals, including seedlings. Seedlings and seeds from a forest remnant in Pirassununga were collected and analyzed for the degree of threat, possible height of the adult individual, occurrence in phytophysiognomies and region and morphological aspects. 116 seedlings available in 39 morphospecies were collected, and the germination of collected seeds provided 40 species. The present study brought news regarding the morphological aspects, the identification and the distribution of seedlings of tree species in a riparian forest area in the Mogi Guaçu River Basin and in the State of São Paulo.

Nation-wide Sentinel-2 mosaics were used with National Forest Inventory (NFI) plot data for modelling and subsequent mapping of spruce-, pine- and deciduous-dominated forest in Norway at a 16m×16m resolution. The accuracies of the best model ranged between 74% for spruce and 87% for deciduous forest. An overall accuracy of 90% was found on stand level using independent data from more than 42,000 stands. Errors mostly resulting from a forest mask reduced the model accuracies by approximately 10%. The produced map was subsequently used to generate model-assisted (MA) and post stratified (PS) estimates of species-specific forest area. At the national level, efficiencies of the estimates increased by 20% to 50% for MA and up to 90% for PS. Greater minimum numbers of observations constrained the use of PS. For MA estimates of municipalities, efficiencies improved by up to a factor of 8 but were sometimes also less than 1. PS estimates were always equally as or more precise than direct and MA estimates but were applicable in fewer municipalities. The tree species prediction map is part of the Norwegian forest resource map and is used, among others, to improve maps of other variables of interest such as timber volume and biomass.

The most recent forest-type map of the Korean Peninsula was produced in 1910. That of South Korea alone was produced since 1972; however, the forest type information of North Korea, which is an inaccessible region, is not known due to the separation after the Korean War. In this study, we developed a model to classify the five dominant tree species in North Korea (Korean red pine, Korean pine, Japanese larch, needle fir, and Oak) using satellite data and machine-learning techniques. The model was applied to the Gwangneung Forest area in South Korea; the Mt. Baekdu area of China, which borders North Korea; and to Goseong-gun, at the border of South Korea and North Korea, to evaluate the model’s applicability to North Korea. Eighty-three percent accuracy was achieved in the classification of the Gwangneung Forest area. In classifying forest types in the Mt. Baekdu area and Goseong-gun, even higher accuracies of 91% and 90% were achieved, respectively. These results confirm the model’s regional applicability. To expand the model for application to North Korea, a new model was developed by integrating training data from the three study areas. The integrated model’s classification of forest types in Goseong-gun (South Korea) was relatively accurate (80%); thus, the model was utilized to produce a map of the predicted dominant tree species in Goseong-gun (North Korea).

The French Guianan forest is an evergreen rain forest that contains approximately 100 deciduous tree species. The taxonomical distribution of the deciduous character is widely spread, and its presence or absence among some taxa, as well as its ancient origin, are arguments in favour of an endogenous origin. Leaf-fall periodicity was studied on a sample of 500 trees during a 2-year period. Periodicity is annual and seasonal. It is not correlated to rainfall and not linked to the occurrence of a dry season. It seems closely correlated to photoperiodical variations, even though those variations are weak (35 min at latitude 5°30′N). However, each tree has its own periodicity for leaves shedding. Therefore, there is a paradox between seasonality and individual periodicity of leaf fall. The existence of this paradox leads us to consider the hypothesis of an integration of endogenous and exogenous components in the determination of leaf-fall periodicity. Key words: deciduousness, French Guiana, phenology, photoperiodism, tree, tropical rain forest.

This paper discusses the need and possibilities for conservation of riparian ecosystems with emphasis on two important groups of tree species in these flood plain river ecosystems, poplars and willows. It puts conservation and restoration activities into perspective with the needs and benefits for society and the environment. Natural ecosystems of poplar and willow that still exist are relatively scarce and although much is known about the different components that together make up such an ecosystem, relatively little is known about the system itself. The managers of ecosystems have to deal with many influences that come from outside the ecosystem: not only upstream and downstream, but also perpendicular to the river. The influence of mankind, by means of its actions that reflect the opinion that nature is secondary to economics, is identified as one of the major problems. Key words: riparian ecosystem, flood plain river ecosystem, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation, poplar, willow
