Abstrak Degradasi riparian akibat aktivitas manusia dapat menyebabkan penurunan vegetasi riparian yang akan berdampak pada fungsi dalam mempertahankan kualitas air sungai, habitat hidupan liar dan menurunkan jasanya bagi kesejahteraan manusia. Penelitian vegetasi riparian Sungai Polimaan dilakukan untuk menganalisis keanekaragaman vegetasi riparian Sungai Polimaan. Penelitian dilakukan dari Desember 2016 sampai Maret 2017 di sepanjang sungai dari hulu, tengah hingga hilir Sungai Polimaan. Metode analisis vegetasi transek petak sistematik dilakukan pada tingkat rumput, semai, pancang, tihang dan pohon. Vegetasi riparian yang ditemukan di Sungai Polimaan sebanyak 665 individu, 68 spesies, 41 suku. Keanekaragaman vegetasi riparian (H’) secara keseluruhan tergolong sedang untuk tingkat rumput (1,55), pancang (1,53), tihang (1,64) dan pohon (1,76) dan tergolong tinggi pada tingkat semai (3,59).  Upaya pengelolaan zona riparian diperlukan untuk mempertahankan keanekaragaman vegetasi riparian di Sungai Polimaan. Kata kunci: keanekaragaman, Sungai Polimaan, vegetasi riparian. Abstract Riparian degradation due to human activities can lead to decreased riparian vegetation that affects riparian function to maintain river quality, wildlife habitat and riparian services for human well-being. The riparian vegetation research of the Polimaan River was conducted to analyze the diversity of riparian vegetation of the Polimaan River. The study was conducted from December 2016 to March 2017 along river from upper, middle to down the Polimaan River. Method of systematic transect vegetation analysis was carried out at the levels of grass, seedling, stake, banana and tree. The riparian vegetation found in the Polimaan River consisted of 665 individuals, 68 species, 41 families. Riparian vegetation diversity (H ') could be classified into middle diversity for grass (1.55), sapling (1.53), poles (1.64) as well as tree (1.76), and high diversity for seedlings (3.59). Riparian zone management are required to preserve the diversity of riparian vegetation of Polimaan River.Key words: biodiversity, Polimaan River, riparian vegetation

This paper uses data from an artificial shade trial to compare the impacts of shade duration on pasture production with deciduous and evergreen tree species. Results indicated that light quantity was not the only main limiting factor in understorey pasture yield. At low levels of shade (

Remnant habitat patches in agricultural landscapes can contribute substantially to wildlife conservation. Understanding the main habitat variables that influence wildlife is important if these remnants are to be appropriately managed. We investigated relationships between the bird assemblages and characteristics of remnant riparian forest at 27 sites among sugarcane fields in the Queensland Wet Tropics bioregion. Sites within the remnant riparian zone had distinctly different bird assemblages from those of the forest, but provided habitat for many forest and generalist species. Width of the riparian vegetation and distance from source forest were the most important factors in explaining the bird assemblages in these remnant ribbons of vegetation. Gradual changes in assemblage composition occurred with increasing distance from source forest, with species of rainforest and dense vegetation being replaced by species of more open habitats, although increasing distance was confounded by decreasing riparian width. Species richness increased with width of the riparian zone, with high richness at the wide sites due to a mixture of open-habitat species typical of narrower sites and rainforest species typical of sites within intact forest, as a result of the greater similarity in vegetation characteristics between wide sites and the forest proper. The results demonstrate the habitat value for birds of remnant riparian vegetation in an agricultural landscape, supporting edge and open vegetation species with even narrow widths, but requiring substantial width (>90 m) to support specialists of the closed forest, the dominant original vegetation of the area.

Infectious diseases affect people, domestic animals and wildlife alike, with many pathogens being able to infect multiple species. Fifty years ago, following the wide-scale manufacture and use of antibiotics and vaccines, it seemed that the battle against infections was being won for the human population. Since then, however, and in addition to increasing antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens, there has been an increase in the emergence of, mostly viral, zoonotic diseases from wildlife, sometimes causing fatal outbreaks of epidemic proportions. Concurrently, infectious disease has been identified as an increasing threat to wildlife conservation. A synthesis published in 2000 showed common anthropogenic drivers of disease threats to biodiversity and human health, including encroachment and destruction of wildlife habitat and the human-assisted spread of pathogens. Almost two decades later, the situation has not changed and, despite improved knowledge of the underlying causes, little has been done at the policy level to address these threats. For the sake of public health and wellbeing, human-kind needs to work better to conserve nature and preserve the ecosystem services, including disease regulation, that biodiversity provides while also understanding and mitigating activities which lead to disease emergence. We consider that holistic, One Health approaches to the management and mitigation of the risks of emerging infectious diseases have the greatest chance of success. This article is part of the themed issue ‘One Health for a changing world: zoonoses, ecosystems and human well-being’.
