Nurseri is a location for seedling, maintenance, selling and purchasing of various types of plants found in big cities including Jabodetabek. This study aims to reveal nurseri management in the Kranggan area to support the sustainability and development of the nurseri. This research was conducted by intensively interviewing all owners (6 persons). Kranggan Nurseri has an area of ​​100-500 m2 with the number of managers between 2-8 persons, depending on the area and the volume of plants being traded. Nurseri owners and managers apply various managements in the seedlings, maintenance, placement, and selection of plant species by considering the volume and the processing time. Many consumers purchase due to the small size, easy maintenance and seedling. Management knowledge is gained from the experience during trading or information exchange with other nurseri traders or managers. Plant placement in the nurseri is adjusted to the needs of light, habitus, aesthetics, and plant canopies. Korean banyan (Ficus compacta) is very potential to be developed in the yard because it has attractive leaf, branching, fruit and canopy characteristics but it does not require extensive land so it is believed to have good prospect to be traded with high economic value in nurseries.  Keywords: Ficus compacta, nurseries, management, Bekasi

Degradasi di lahan rawa gambut umumnya diakibatkan oleh alih fungsi lahan dan pemilihan komoditas yang tidak tepat. Alih fungsi lahan yang disertai dengan pembuatan drainase tanpa perencanaan yang matang menyebabkan lahan menjadi kering, mudah terbakar, subsiden, banjir, emisi CO2 dan permasalahan sosial-ekonomi.Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui studi literatur terkait persoalan dan solusi pemulihan lahan gambut terdegradasi melalui restorasi hidrologi dengan metode rewetting (sekat/canal blocking) dan penanaman jenis tanaman yang tidak membutuhkan drainase (paludikultur).Terdapat empat tipe sekat yang biasa digunakan,  yaitu sekat papan, sekat isi, sekat plastik, dan sekat geser. Pemilihan tipe sekat sangat tergantung kepada kondisi bio-fisik, dimensi kanal, topografi gambut, ketersediaan material dan aksesibilitas ke lokasi penabatan. Dari penelitian ini diketahui adanya korelasi yang kuat antara keberadaan sekat terhadap penambahan ketinggian muka air tanah, dimana sekat bermanfaat untuk menaikkan muka air tanah dan melembabkan tanah.Selanjutnya, dalam penerapan paludikultur, diketahui bahwa komoditas tertentu lebih tahan terhadap genangan namun tetap memiliki nilai ekonomi seperti: Metroxylon spp, Nypa fruticans Wurmb, Alseodaphne spp. dan Nothaphoebe spp., dan Shorea spp. Agar dapat bertahan hidup jenis-jenis tanaman tersebut harus dipilih dan disesuaikan dengan ketinggian air yang terdapat di lahan gambut. Kata kunci: Gambut, paludikultur, sekat kanal, restorasi, muka air tanahIn general, degradation on peatlands is mainly caused by excessive conversion and selection of commodities that cannot grow in wet condition. Conversion of peatlands and extreme canalization have become major threats to peatlands which leads to peat fire, subsidence, flooding, green house emission, as well as economic and social problems.This study was obtained from literature study on current problems and solutions of degraded peatlands through peatland hydrology restoration by rewetting method (canal blocking) and cultivation of species that do not require drainage. There are four types of dams that are often used to control water flows, plank dam, composite dam, plastic dam, and sluice. The selection of dam is highly dependent on bio-physical condition, dimensions of canals, peat-topography, availability and accessibility of transportation to the dam site. This research shows that there is strong correlation between canal blocking and the increasing of ground water level, where canal blocking is useful for raising the water table and moisturizing the soil.In the implementation of paludiculture, the certain species / commodities can survive  to wet condition, and also have economic value such as: Metroxylon spp, Nypa fruticans Wurmb, Alseodaphne spp. dan Nothaphoebe spp), dan Shorea spp. In order to survive the type of plants has to be selected and adjusted to the condition of peatlands water level.

Abstract Background: In Ethiopia, about 92.3% of all the biomass energy is consumed by domestic households and the demand is growing from 10-14%. However, there are little/no practical experiences or documented indigenous knowledge on how traditional people identify and select high biomass producing plant species with short rotation periods at Boset District. Therefore, the present study was aimed at: (1) selecting and documenting high biomass energy producing plant species at Boset District; (2) identifying major predictor variables that influence the prioritization and selection of species; and (3) develop a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) to predict the selection of species. Methods: A total of 96 informants comprising 59 men and 37 women between the ages of 18 and 81 were sampled. Data were collected using structured interviews, guided field walk, discussions and field observations. Results: Collected data indicated that 88.5% of the informants involved in firewood collection, while 90% practiced charcoal making. A total of 1533.60 Birr per household on average was earned annually from this activity. A total of 25 firewood and/or charcoal plant species were identified and documented at Boset District. Of these, Acacia senegal, Acacia tortilis and Acacia robusta were the three best prioritized and selected indigenous high biomass producing species. Prosopis juliflora, Parthenium hysterophorus, Azadirachta indica, Calotropis procera, Cryptostegia grandiflora, Lantana camara and Senna occidentalis further grouped under introduced fuelwood species. Prediction of GLM assured sampled Kebeles and source of income generated from fuelwood species positively and significantly (p<0.001) related to selection of species. Higher efficiency to provide energy and heat; little or no smoke or soot; easier to cut and split the wood and easier availability were some of the main selection criteria. Conclusions: This study provides valuable information in selection and documenting of high biomass producing plant species for proper management and sustainable use at Boset District. The three most selected species (A. senegal, A. tortilis and A. robusta) should be further evaluated at laboratory to determine their energy values.

Alien Flora

Plant invasions pose an unprecedented threat to biodiversity and ecosystems at different spatial scales, especially for a biodiversity-rich developing nation like India. While country-level checklists are considered as the first step for effective management of plant invasions, databases having biological and ecological attributes of these plant species are of paramount importance for facilitating research activities and developing policy interventions concerning alien plant invasion in a country or region. Though checklists with the names and basic details of alien plant species are available for India, a database aggregating attributes relevant to the understanding of the invasion continuum is lacking. We have curated data for 13 variables related to ecology, biogeography, introduction history, socio-economy and environmental niche of 1747 alien vascular plant species from 22 national and global sources to produce the Indian Alien Flora Information (ILORA) version 1.0 database. This paper describes the detailed methodology of curating these data along with the logic behind selecting these variables to be included in the database. The database, first of its kind for the Indian alien flora, will provide easy access to high quality data, offer a ready reference to comprehend the existing scenario of alien plant species in the country and provide opportunities to identify, scrutinize and prioritize the management of these species. The database is dynamic and will be continuously updated with the availability of new data. It has the provision for bidirectional information exchange with the users, which will allow increasing the resolution of the database as well as the expansion of its capacity. All data will be associated with the source information and ILORA will encourage users to refer to the primary sources to give the contributors full credit and acknowledgement. The database is, therefore, envisaged to become a nationwide collaborative platform for a wide spectrum of stakeholders involving the scientific community, citizens, and policymakers. ILORA is freely accessible via an online data repository as well as through a dedicated website (https://ilora2020.wixsite.com/ilora2020).

The installation of a permanent ground cover in vineyards offers numerous agronomic (soil protection, soil fertility) and environmental (reduced leaching of nutrients and of plant protection products, reduced use of herbicides, biodiversity) benefits. Nevertheless, such ground covers are not always free of drawbacks (competition for water and nitrogen, increased risk of frost, management). For the growers, the challenge is to manage the green ground covers in such a way as to preserve their advantages while limiting these drawbacks. Among the tools available to the winegrower is the sowing of a seed mixture composed of selected species: a choice depending of the soil and climatic conditions of the parcel, but also of the different, and sometime contradictory, objectives of the grower. This paper lists the agronomic and environmental issues addressed by the installation of a permanent ground cover in vineyards. It describes two concrete situations – ground cover for vineyards integrated in agro-ecological networks and green cover on the row of vines (as alternative to glyphosate) – for which, according to the objectives and the impacts, a choice of plant species is proposed. At last, it presents the trials now carried out to validate and optimize those selections, as well as the first observations and results gathered to date.

In the beautifully-illustrated book of rare and threatened plants of Greece (Phitos et al. 1995), the selection of species is based strictly on the four World Conservation Union (IUCN) categories of ‘extinct’, ‘endangered’, ‘vulnerable’ and ‘rare’ (Lucas & Synge 1978). The Swedish ‘red data’ book of plants (Aronsson et al. 1995) adds ‘care-demanding species’ to the list. Five percent of the total number of vascular plant species in Greece are included in the Greek book, while 23% of the vascular plant species in Sweden are in the Swedish book. This latter percentage may appear to be sufficiently large, but is it?
