Abstract Mataram university green open space (GOS) is one of the partial green open spaces (GOS) approaches that can be used to conserve endemic germplasm as well to fulfil the proportion and distribution of urban forests. This research aims to describe the species composition, and diversity including the authenticity of Flora Malesiana in this area. We used a census method (100% measurement) to identify the species and measured the diameter and height of all tree species with the diameter of more than 2 cm. The results showed that the 99 species belonged to 85 Genera, 39 families with a composition of 61 species (61.62%) including the flora Malesiana and 38 species (38.38%) including exotic species. Based on IVI analysis showed that Ptychosperma macarthurii dominated at the sapling level while Swietenia mahagoni dominated at the pole and tree levels. The H’ of diversity is in the medium category with the sapling level has the highest value (3.42).

City developments have an impact on increasing the conversion of green open spaces (GOS) to builded spaces. The reduction of GOS areas cause the increase of the air temperature in the atmosphere. One way to overcome that problems by urban forest development for micro climate improvement. The function of the urban forest will be felt if the selection of tree species fits with micro climate amelioration function. The objectives of this research were to (1) study the characteristic of urban forest which is effective for the micro climate amelioration, (2) evaluate the suitability of tree physical characters for the micro climate amelioration, and (3) determine the potention of shade trees for the micro climate amelioration. The result shows that urban forest which is effective for the micro climate amelioration have an canopy areas as much as 19927 m2 with 720 of trees. The trees at Tinjomoyo Recreational Forest, Krobokan Urban Forest, and Menteri Supeno Park have the suitability value at the range of 61–80%, while Beringin Park have the suitability value at the range of 41–60%. The value of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) shows that the very potention trees for micro climate amelioration were Albizia saman, Delonix regia, Ficus benjamina, Pterocarpus indicus, Swietenia mahagoni, and Terminalia catappa.

Sengon is a fast growing tree species that can be harvested in a relatively short time, with a cropping rotation of around 5-8 years. This type is chosen as one of plant type industrial forest plantation in Indonesia, because it is able to adapt  various types of soil. Sengon is a tree that is an alternative that can be cultivated extensively for rehabilitation purposes of marginal lands. Suplay of quality sengon seedlings is still constrained because there are destructive insect attacks.This study aims of was to identify insects that attack sengon seedlings and determine the level of damage caused by insects at permanent nursery areas BPDASHL Kapuas Pontianak. The method used in this study is a survey method with direct observation of sengon seedlings in the nursery area.The results of the study  found 8 types of destructive insect that attacks sengon seedlings (Falcataria moluccana) in the nursery area namely Eurema sp., Pteroma sp., Clania sp., Amatissa sp., Atractomorpha sp., Ferissia virgata, Valanga sp., and Conochepalus sp. The dominant insects species that attacks sengon seedlings in permanent nurseries are insects from the order Lepidoptera and non-dominant insects from order Orthoptera and Homoptera. The results showed that average percentage of destructive insect attacks is 23,33% and the average percentage the level of damage is 10% including is the low in the damage category.Keywords: destructive insects, identification, level of damage, permanent nursery, sengon seedlings

Рассматривается структура древостоев, восстановившихся на постагрогенных землях и землях бывших поселений в условиях Вьетнама. Установлено: на землях бывших поселений отмечается наличие высокоствольных деревьев, однако их густота небольшая и видовой состав простой. Доминирующие деревья представлены светолюбивыми породами Broussonetia papyrifera (L.), Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C. B. Rob., Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Muell. Arg, Bischofia javanica Blume (B. Trifoliate (Roxb.) Hook.f.). Данные породы являются пионерами на начальном этапе восстановления древесной растительности на землях бывших поселений и имеют большое экологическое значение, однако короткий жизненный цикл. Кроме доминирующих пород в составе насаждений появляются и новые виды: Cinnamomum bejolghota (Buch. Ham.) Sweet, Cinnamomum obtusifolium (Roxb) Nees, Caryodaphnosis tonkinensis (Leg) A-Shaw. Они, как правило, семенного происхождения, светолюбивые, быстрорастущие и способны выдержать конкуренцию с другими видами за элементы питания и свет. Во взрослом возрасте они присутствуют в составе древостоя. Источником их возобновления являются семена от соседних стен леса. Присутствие этих видов увеличивает видовое разнообразие древесных пород и повышает устойчивость насаждения в целом. На землях бывших поселений единично встречаются породы деревьев, которые ранее выращивали жители поселений: Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., Melia azedarach L., Dimocarpus longan Lour., Chukrasia tabularis M. Roem. На постагрогенных землях количество видов древесных пород небольшое. Здесь произрастают светолюбивые, быстрорастущие виды. Они являются доминирующими на начальном этапе восстановления леса: Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Muell. Arg, Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C. B. Rob., Bischofia javanica Blume (B. trifoliata (Roxb.) Hook. f.) и особенно Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Broussonetia papyrifera (L.). Указанные породы имеют короткий жизненный цикл и являются неустойчивыми к негативному экологическому воздействию, поэтому в дальнейшем они сменяются породами, у которых более длинный жизненный цикл. В целом, древостой на землях бывших поселений по видовому составу и структуре более разнообразен, чем на постагрогренных землях. The article deals with the structure of stands that have been restored on post- agrogenic lands and lands of former settlements in Vietnam. It is established that the presence of high-tree trees is noted on the lands of former settlements, but their density is not large and the species composition is simple. The dominant trees are represented by the light-loving rocks Broussonetia papyrifera (L.), Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C. B. Rob., Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Muell. Arg, Bischofia javanica Blume (B. Trifoliate (Roxb.) Hook.f.). These rocks are pioneers at the initial stage of restoration of woody vegetation on the lands of former settlements and have great ecological significance, however, a short life cycle. In addition to the dominant species, new species also appear in plantations: Cinnamomum bejolghota (Buch. Ham.) Sweet, Cinnamomum obtusifolium (Roxb) Nees, Caryodaphnosis tonkinensis (Leg) A-Shaw. They are usual- ly seed-borne, light-loving, fast-growing and able to withstand competition with other species for batteries and light. In adulthood, they are present in the composition of the stand. The source of their renewal are the seeds from the neighboring forest walls. The presence of these species increases the species diversity of tree species and increases the stability of the plantation as a whole. On the lands of the former settlements there are only species of trees that were previously grown by the inhabitants of the settle- ments: Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., Melia azedarach L., Dimocarpus longan Lour., Chukrasia tabularis M. Roem. The number of species of tree species is small in the degraded land. Here grow light-loving, fast-growing species. They are dominant at the initial stage of forest restoration: Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Muell. Arg, Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C. B. Rob., Bischofia javanica Blume (B. trifoliata (Roxb.) Hook. F.) and especially Broussonetia papyrifera (L.). These breeds have a short life cycle and are unstable to negative environmental impact, therefore in the future they are replaced by breeds that have a longer life cycle. In general, the stand on the lands of the former settlements is more diverse in species composition and structure than in the plowed lands.

Species composition, distribution and diversity of tree species were compared in three forest stands in the Bharse area, Gulmi District, Nepal. These forests have distinct management systems and are used for different purposes: Raiker (RK) for controlled-cutting, Raniban (RB) for cattle grazing, and Thaple (TL) for both cutting and cattle grazing. The total density of trees in RK was higher (2640 ha-1) than that in RB (2533 ha-1) and TL (1875 ha-1). However, the largest basal area (105 m2ha-1) was found in RB while RK and TL were calculated at 72 m2ha-1 and 58 m2ha-1, respectively. The distribution of species showed clump behavior in the grazing forests whereas mixed (clump and regular) distribution occurred in the controlled-cutting forest. Trees with small diameter size were more in the controlled-cutting forest (RK) than the forests used for grazing and/or cutting (RB and TL). Species richness was highest in forest opened for cattle grazing. However, values of tree species diversity and evenness were higher in the controlled-cutting forest than in the forests with grazing and/ or cutting. One might conclude that controlled cutting is more effective than grazing and/or cutting in conserving the diversity of tree species. Key words: Trees, distribution, composition, diversity, management system, hill forest, Nepal Himalayan Journal of Sciences 3(5) 2005 p.67-74
