Growth Variation of Ebony (Diospyros Pilosanthera Blanco.) for 2 Years Old in Arboretum of Manado Forestry Research Institute
AbstractOne commercial tropical species in North Sulawesiis ebony (Diospyrospilosanthera Blanco). This species is called Boniok by local people in Bolaang Mongondow. This species has wide distribution in Southeast Asiain cluding Indo-China, Burma, Thailand, PeninsularMalaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo(Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah, West, Central and East Kalimantan), Philippines, Celebes, the Moluccas and New Guinea. This species isone of commercial timber that has been exploited since long timeago and not equal to their natural regeneration, thus, causing their population decrease and are rarely found in the forest in North Sulawesi Province and Gorontalo Province. Nowadays, information about the number of their population in North Sulawesi Province and Gorontalo Province are not available. One of efforts to save this species is by doing exitu conservation. This studyaims to determine the growth of exitu conservation plant of ebony(D. pilosanthera) at 2 years old in Arboretum of Manado Forestry Research Institute. This study was done by randomized block design using 5 replications. Each replication consisted of 10 individuals and the number of samples used were 50 individuals. Spacing used is 3mx 3m. Treatment applied was dosage of fertilizes using Nitrogen, Phosphate and Kalium (NPK). Replication of treatments consists of 5 group i.e group 1(A0) was using 100gr/plant, group 2(A1) 200 gr/plant, group 3(A2) 300gr/plant, group 4 (A3) 400gr/plant and groups 5(A4) 500gr/plant. The results showed that their life percentage rate in 2years were 98.00%. The life percentage of ebony(D. pilosanthera) was high and indicates that these plants canada ptand grow wellout of their naturalhabit at. The results showed that statistical analysis at 95% interval confidence indicates that there is no significant difference between the treat mentsused in this research and the growth of its height and diameter. Otherwise, there is no significant difference betwen treatments, but they have difference growth permormance, while the best growth of height was shown by treatment A1 (200 gr/plant) with the average of 3.350 m and the lowest was shown by treatment A0(100gr/plant) with average height of 2.913m.The best diameter growth was shown by treatment A4(500gr/plant) with average 3.840 cm and the lowest was shown by treatment A0(100gr/plant) with average 2.933cm. These results indicate that increasing fertilizer dosage had no effect on height growth of young plants of ebony(D. pilosanthera) at 2 years old in Arboretum of Manado Forestry Research Institute, but had effects ondiameter growth, although not significant between group of treatments
DIVERSITY SPECIES OF EBONI (Diospyros spp.) TULABOLO-PINOGU RESORT, BOGANINANI WARTABONE NATIONAL PARK, NORTH SULAWESI
Biological diversity was an invaluable asset because it had amazing potency. The uniqueness of nature and its climate had put Indonesia as megabiodiversity country. In other side, high exploration of resources and policies have a little concern on ecology and biodiversity preservation had threatened sustainability of species. Regulation of Forestry Minister number 324/2010 stated Tulobolo-Pinogu Resort of Boganinani Wartabone National Park as a limited production forest. According Government Regulation Number 7/1999, ebony (Diospyros spp.) was protected species. The objective of this research was to inventory all of tree species in Tulabolo-Pinogu especially eboni as to attempt of biodiversity conservation. This study used transect lines method with 3 hectare sampling area. This research found 6 species of ebony, 3 has been reported that D. buxifolia, D. minahassae and D. korthalsiana, 3 newly reporte D. cauliflora, D. malabarica and D. pilosanthera. All of ebony were found is very limited and vulnerable
Kandungan Bahan Aktif Dan Toksisitas Tumbuhan Hutan Asal Sulawesi Utara Yang Berpotensi Sebagai Obat
Pemanfaatan plasma nutfah sebagai sumber bahan obat merupakan bentuk kearifan tradisional yang diadopsi oleh masyarakat pada daerah tertentu dan identik dengan warisan turun-temurun. Makalah ini mendeskripsikan aspek etnobotani masyarakat Sulawesi Utara (Suku Minahasa, Mongondow dan Sangihe) dalam memanfaatkan sumberdaya alam hayati dari beberapa spesies tumbuhan hutan untuk pengobatan penyakit kanker secara tradisional, yang kemudian dibuktikan secara ilmiah melalu identifikasi kandungan bahan aktif dan toksisitasnya menggunakan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat lokal Sulawesi Utara telah memanfaatkan bagian tertentu (seperti batang, kulit dan daun) dari 14 jenis tumbuhan hutan dalam pengobatan anti kanker dan penyakit lainnya. Ekstrak herbal dari kulit lawang (Cinnamomum cullilawan Bl) diidentifikasi mengandung senyawa alkaloid, sedangkan senyawa flavonoid terdeteksi pada ekstrak daun lingkube (Dischidia imbricata Steud) daun yantan (Blumea chinensis Dc), kulit ketapang (Terminalia catappa L), kulit kayu manumpang (Loranthus globulus Jacq), batang tanduk rusa, akar kayu gimto (Ligodyum sp.) akar rumput balsam ( Polygala paniculata L) dan akar cakar kucing (Acalypha indica L). Daun luhu (Crotalaria retusa L) dan kuhung-kuhung (Crotalaria striata Dc) mengandung senyawa steroid dan tanin. Sebanyak 9 dari 12 ekstrak n-butanol mampu memberikan efek toksik terhadap larva Artemia salina Leach yang ditandai melalui nilai LC50 kurang dari 1000 ppm. Nilai LC50 terkecil didapatkan dari ekstrak petroleum eter daun kuhung-kuhung (Crotalaria striata Dc) sebesar 68,33ppm dimana nilai ini mendekati standar efektifitas komponen bioaktif untuk melawan sel kanker berdasarkan kategori National Cancer Institute Amerika

Birds Diversity in Tayawi’s Watersheed Area Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park (Keragaman Jenis Burung di DAS Tayawi Taman Nasional Aketajawe-Lolobata)
Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park was selected as one of conservation areas in Indonesia due to its important roles to preserve wildlife natural resources and its unique ecosystem. Our research on fauna diversity was designed to identify bird species diversity that inhabited Tayawi’s watershed within the Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park in North Maluku. We explored the area by using transect method; species identification was carried out by visual and vocal encounter. Fifty five bird species were identified and they belong to 25 families. Among them, 17 species were identified as endemic to Maluku and Halmahera islands. Based on our analysis and field observation, these areas had low fauna diversity. We suspected that illegal logging and hunting might have caused a rapid decrease of the bird population in Tayawi’s watershed area. These can be a serious threat if it is not well-anticipated. Therefore, urgent need is required to discontinue the activities of illegal logging and hunting
