Studi genetik tegakan pinus teridentifikasi di Hutan Pendidikan Unhas . Tujuan penelit??an ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan genetik tegakan pinus teridentifikasi di Hutan Pendidikan berdasarkan penanda RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Bioteknologi Silvikultur Universitas Hasanudin Makassar dan Laboratorium RSP Unhas. Metode yang digunakan adalah isolasi DNA, seleksi primer dan Analisis RAPD. Hasil analisis DNA pinus dengan menggunakan 10 jenis primer acak (OPS 11, OPP 08, OPA 02, OPG 02, OPK 20, OPY 06, OPZ 12, OPK 10, OPM 06 dan OPD 03) menunjukkan adanya pola pita dan jumlah pita polimorfik yang bervariasi yaitu antara 8 ??? 22 pita. Pada taraf kesamaan 60 % hampir semua indifidu membentuk klaster tersendiri, kecuali pada indifidu sampel 22, 23 dan 24 berada dalam klaster yang sama. Jarak genetik pinus yang terjauh adalah 0.9630 (antara sampel 6 dengan sampel 30) sedangkan jarak genetik terdekat adalah 0.2698 (antara sampel 17 dengan sampel 19). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan jarak genetik dan dendogram yang terbentuk menunjukkan keragaman genetik antara individu tegakan pinus teridentifikasi tergolong tinggi

PEMANFAATAN SUMBERDAYA HUTAN DI HUTAN LINDUNG KECAMATAN ALU KABUPATEN POLMAN PROPINSI SULAWESI BARAT

This study aims to determine the activity of the utilization of forest resources and to know local community wisdom related to protection forest in the Alu Village areas. This research was conducted by using Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) method. Respondents in this study were communities living in and around the protection forest area and conducting activities in the forms of utilizing the forest resources. The observed variables were the forms of community activities in the protection forest and local community wisdom in using the forest resources. The results show that activities of villagers consist of: 1) the use of timber for home construction or repair and for fuel wood, 2) the utilization of rattan, 3) the utilization of bamboo, 4) the utilization of palm, 5) the utilization of honey bee and other forest products. In addition, local community wisdom in the utilization of forest products was found to be in the form of prevailing institutions in the village of Alu. The forms of institutions are forest harvesting institutions, forest land use institutions, and forest protection and security institutions. In general, Alu Villagers have the awareness to preserve the environment, ecological balance and sustainability of the population to be bequeathed to their generation. Yet, the wisdom is prone to turn down particularly in the institution of timber utilization. Key words: Forest resource utilization, protected forest, local wisdom, Alu Villager

Pola Penyebaran dan Struktur Populasi Eboni (Diospyros celebica Bakh.) di Hutan Pendidikan Universitas Hasanuddin, Kabupaten Maros Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan

Eboni merupakan salah satu jenis keanekaragaman hayati yang endemik di Indonesia\ud khususnya di Kepulauan Sulawesi. Tumbuhan ini merupakan penghasil kayu yang tergolong\ud mewah (Fancy wood) dan menjadi primadona dalam dunia perdagangan kayu. Akan tetapi kualitas\ud Eboni tidak sebanding dengan karakteristik pertumbuhan yang sangat lambat serta penyebarannya\ud yang sangat terbatas. Karena itu penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan\ud informasi mengenai pola penyebaran dan struktur populasi eboni khususnya di Hutan Pendidikan\ud Universitas Hasanuddin (Unhas) dengan harapan dapat menjadi masukan yang penting untuk\ud usaha-usaha budidaya jenis eboni.\ud Pengambilan data dilakukan di tegakan eboni dalam kawasan Hutan Pendidikan Unhas\ud dengan menggunakan metode jalur berpetak dengan sistematik sampling. Jalur yang dibuat\ud sebanyak 3 jalur, dimana setiap jalur dibuat plot pengamatan dengan ukuran 20 x 20 m secara\ud berkesinambungan tanpa adanya jarak antar plot. Untuk memperoleh pola penyebaran eboni, data\ud dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode Indeks Morisita dan untuk mengetahui struktur populasi di\ud setiap kelas lereng di Hutan Pendidikan Unhas, data dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode\ud tabulasi dan membuat diagram sebaran berbentuk batang. Selain itu juga dibuatkan kurva struktur\ud populasi pada setiap tingkat pertumbuhan di setiap kelas lereng.\ud Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa eboni dari berbagai tingkat pertumbuhan yaitu semai\ud hingga tingkat pohon, memiliki pola penyebaran mengelompok. Akan tetapi ada kecenderungan\ud semakin tinggi tingkat pertumbuhan eboni maka tingkat pengelompokan semakin menurun atau\ud menuju pola acak. Populasi eboni pada setiap kelas lereng bervariasi untuk berbagai tingkat\ud pertumbuhan. Adapun kurva struktur populasi adalah berbentuk J terbalik pada setiap kelas lereng.\ud Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa jumlah individu eboni sangat melimpah pada tingkat pertumbuhan\ud semai dan mengalami pengurangan jumlah individu seiring tingkat pertumbuhannya

KOMPOSISI JENIS DAN STRUKTUR VEGETASI HUTAN DATARAN RENDAH DI KOMPLEKS GUNUNG BULUSARAUNG SULAWESI SELATAN

The Bulusaraung Mountain is a lowland forest and is one of the main ecosystems owned by Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. Therefore, this study aims to determine the species composition and vegetation structure of lowland forests in the complex of Bulusaraung Mountain. The research was conducted from April to May 2018. Data collection was carried out using a 20 × 20 meter plot placed on the Balleanging, Tokaddaro  and Tompobulu track lines based on altitude (550 m asl, 650 m asl, and 750 m asl). The result of this study show that there are 44  species were found on tree class, 65 species on  pole class,  40 species on  sapling class and  25 species on seedling class. The species composition in the study area was dominated Palaquium obovatum, Persea rimosa, Arthrophyllum diversifolium, Cryptocarya laevigata, and Engelhardia serrata, while Psychotria leptothyrsa, Antidesma bunius, Maesa ramentacea, Ficus sandpaper, Baccaurea javanica, Symplocos maliliency, Callicarpa pentandra, and Saurauia tristyla is a type of tree that differentiates at each altitude. The structure of the forest canopy layer at an altitude of 550 m above sea level consists of three canopy layers, while at an altitude of 650 and 750 m above sea level consisting only of two canopy layers. The cover of forest canopy in all sampling locations was reached 75-90%
