Abstract
The proposed research seeks to continue long-term research at Gunung Palung National Park regarding how spatial and temporal variation in plant productivity
afects populations of Bornean rainforest primates. Long-term research on gibbons and leaf monkeys has indicated that several key measures of demographic success
e.g., density, group size, reproductive success are strongly determined by spatial and temporal variation in food availability across the tropical forest landscape
found at this study site. The results, however, suggest that the manner in which the two primate species are afected by this variation is strikingly diferent. The
objective of the proposed research is continue collection of data that will be used to test eight hypotheses designed to improve our understanding of how landscape-
level variation in habitat quality and seasonality of fruit production impact the population ecology of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. The goal is
to obtain a deeper understanding of the underlying ecological principles limiting primate population dynamics, and understand inter-speciic variation in response
to landscape-scale and seasonal variation in plant productivity.

Abstract
The Segara Anakan Lagoon on the south coast of Java is an example of a mangrove ecosystem under pressure. The situation in the lagoon is complicated by rapid
environmental change resulting from the accumulation of sediment in the lagoon over recent decades. In this context, the research aims at a social-scientiic analysis
of mangrove rehabilitation eforts and other local responses to environmental change in the Segara Anakan Lagoon. It will do this within the context of exploring
the challenges and opportunities of PES mechanisms to link diverse stakeholders in eforts to sustainably manage mangrove areas and contribute to watershed
conservation.

Abstract
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and understanding how tropical forests and carbon stored in their biomass have been responding to changing
environmental drivers is an area increasing steadily in importance. Substantial global analyses now revealed that forests in in Amazonia and the tropical Africa
underwent accelerated tree growth and changes in dynamics in the 1980s and 1990s, acting as a net sink. The substantial yet rapidly shrinking area of primary
forests remaining in Southeast Asia lack systematic analysis to test their carbon balance. This represents an urgent research need. During our previous research
project entitled “Biomass Dynamics of Tropical Forests in Indonesia” as part of a Southeast Asian research campaign, we collected important datasets from Central
Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi. These data combined with our concurrent projects in Sarawak and Sabah Malaysia as well as Brunei, have provided us a
growing dataset on Borneo, which indicates an overall increasing carbon stock in primaryold-growth lowland rainforests, consistent with evidences from South
America and Africa. Yet some important areas of Bornean forests still need to be represented in long-term monitoring, particularly in East Kalimantan. Further at
regional scale, the Wallacea is one of the least studied ecoregions of Southeast Asia, motivating great research interest.
We will conduct a systematic re-census of existing permanent plots at both proposed study sites: 1 Sungai Wain Protected Forest, Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. Our
objectives are: a determine what changes in above ground biomass are occurring in both sites; b combined with other long-term plot data we have collected across
Southeast Asia, identify potential drivers behind these changes.
Together with other long-term studies by our team at University of Leeds in South America and Africa, they will enable us to conduct cross continental comparisons,
and answer overarching questions such as whether the world’s tropical forests are continuing to act as an important carbon sink, and what global and regional drivers
are behind the changes occurring in these forests.

Abstract
The Asia Development Bank estimates 750 trillion will be spent in Southeast Asia within the next decade. As roads, railroads, dams, mines and towns continue to
fragment habitat, the overall decrease in natural areas and the increased distance between these habitat patches will lead to reduced carnivore presence. Preserving
connectivity – physical and genetic - between habitat patches is one of the most important factors in conserving endangered carnivore species such as tiger. The
Sumatran tiger resides within approximately 88,000 km2 of fragmented natural habitat. Although plantations and settlements are increasingly encroaching on
natural areas, tiger use of non-natural areas remains largely unknown. Identifying which areas of plantations tigers use, and why, could help reduce the number
of human-tiger encounters and human-tiger conlict related mortalities, and allow plantation managers to plan strategic and rotational ‘tiger friendly’ areas
of plantations. The goal of this project is to conduct a preliminary assessment of the extent of connectivity and habitat use of central Sumatran tiger populations.
To determine habitat use, we will use foot holds andor box traps to trap tigers and African Wildlife Tracking GPS collars to collect ine-scale movement data. Scat
will be collected and analyzed to quantify any genetic connectivity between tiger populations in central Sumatra. We will also model land cover change and quantify
tiger habitat change using diferent development scenarios. The indings of this study will provide us with powerful knowledge critical to keeping the growing
human population safe while developing a management plan to increase the central Sumatran tiger population.

Abstract
The proposed project will continue previous work on the invasion of the small Neotropical tree, Bellucia pentamera Melastomataceae, introduced from Latin
America into Southeast Asia roughly 50 years ago. Within its native range, this light demanding pioneer species is commonly found in disturbed forest patches,
however, in Indonesia it has been able to form dense monodominant stands and successfully recruit in shaded, primary forest habitats as well. This is not surprising
considering this plant has a very diverse native range and is therefore likely capable of invading many diferent ecosystems of Southeast Asia. Continuing on with a
systematic survey of B. pentamera within Gunung Palung National Park is therefore highly important. The primary goals of this project therefore include: 1 to map the
current distribution of B. pentamera across the wide range of habitats at Gunung

Palung National Park, 2 to understand the natural history of B. pentamera relative to native plants, and 3 to develop approaches to combat the spread of this invasive
plant. Previous work has begun to address some of these goals, but there is a need for additional work on this topic.

Abstract
Biodiversity is highly at risk in tropical mangrove ecosystems where high population density, industrialization, habitat degradation and exploitation of natural resources
co-occur. Previous studies on benthic communities in the Segara Anakan Lagoon SAL recorded a high species number despite the various human impacts.
However, efects of anthropogenic disturbances were visible in the community structure and the spreading of highly adaptable plant and invertebrate species. As
large-scale deforestation is increasing, we hypothesize that this will be followed by an increase of uniform swamp sites and a decrease of microhabitats, resulting in a
decline of biodiversity. This can be followed by a decrease of ecosystem functions, if the functional role of depleted species cannot be achieved by other ones.

This study aims to track changes in diversity and community patterns of invertebrates and mangrove vegetation in relation to environmental conditions
in the SAL by comparing data from 2012-2014 with those from 2004-2006. This allows to investigate the impact of habitat changes on biodiversity over a decade
for the irst time and to diferentiate between natural and human-induced changes, which is impossible with short-term studies. The value of such a study
will be greatly enhanced by including a potentially less impacted site in order to gain “baseline values” for Indonesian mangroves for the irst time. This subproject
aims to compare invertebrate and tree diversity in mangroves of SAL with that of a low-impacted reference site in Berau, East Kalimantan, having a potential similar
biodiversity regarding its geographical location. Data gained at such a reference site allow to evaluate the situation in SA and other mangrove forests in SE-Asia
subjected to habitat degradation.
The study will particular focus on economically important invertebrates crabs, mollusks, both at SAL where ishing intensity and habitat degradation is high and
at the reference site where human inluences are signiicantly lower. In order to understand how the populations of economically important species have changed
over time investigations will combine biological and socio-economic studies in cooperation with other SPICE scientists. The impact of human use patterns,
techniques and intensity on the populations of ished species will be assessed. These investigations will provide the data base to evaluate the future development
of these species and thus the resource potential of the ecosystem. This will be complemented by studies on the functional roles of invertebrates which is a
precondition to assess the consequences of reduced populations for ecosystem functioning. The in-depth understanding of cause-efect relationships is a
prerequisite for the preservation of biodiversity and related functions in mangrove forests and the development of management strategies for the sustainable use of
their resources.

Abstract
Rehabilitation and release programs are critical to the survival of endangered primates like orangutans. To date, no study has compared the health of released
individuals to their wild counterparts. Using non-invasive methods urine and feces, I will investigate immuno-responsiveness, gastrointestinal parasites, and
protein balance in rehabilitated and released Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii at Nyaru Menteng and Batikap in Central Kalimantan. I will compare my data with data from
a long-term study of a wild orangutan population conducted by my advisor, Erin Vogel, at the Tuanan Research Station in Central Kalimantan.
Protein, a limiting resource for orangutans, is required by all organisms to sustain body tissue. Obtaining suicient dietary protein has become diicult for
orangutans as deforestation, plantation development, and unsustainable logging force them to compete for resources. Nitrogen N concentration has been used as
a measure of protein and a correlation between dietary N and output in orangutan urine has been shown. Comparing N balance in released individuals with a wild
population in a similar habitat will enable me to assess how released individuals

cope with periods of food scarcity. Dietary and emotional stress can lead to immuno-suppression, which can be measured through cytokine production. Anti-
and pro-inlammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-8, IL-10, sTNFR I and II, MCP-1 will be tested in urine because of their roles in numerous aspects of the immune
response. Investigating cytokine levels will provide insights into how orangutans handle dietary, social, and physical stress and how that stress afects their ability
to ight infections. Immuno-supression can leave individuals open to an array of diseases including parasitic infection. To date limited information about orangutan
coprological parasites exists. Identifying common parasites that infect orangutans at Nyaru Menteng and Batikap will inform us about the transmission between
orangutans and their human caregivers and hopefully provide more precise and individualized treatments.
Three hypotheses will be tested: 1 due to poor nutrition, new arrivals at Nyaru Menteng will have the lowest concentration of urinary urea and and highest δ15
N values when compared with those of rehabilitated, released, and wild individuals; 2 efects of emotional, physical, and dietary stress will be characterized by higher
levels of urinary cytokines in new arrivals and released individuals; and 3 new arrivals at Nyaru Menteng and the wild population at Tuanan will be infected with
more genera of parasites and have higher fecal egg counts than those that are captive or newly released.
This project will add to the small amount of data available about the health of rehabilitated and released orangutans. It is vital that we collect these data now as all
captive orangutans in rehabilitation facilities are scheduled to be released by 2016 under an Indonesian government initiative. I will collect urine and fecal samples
non-invasively at Nyaru Menteng and Batikap. In urine mass spectrophotometry will be used to ind and nitrogen stable isotopes and colorimetric assays will be run
to determine urea and creatinine concentrations. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays will also be employed to quantify levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-8,
IL-10, sTNFR I and II, MCP-1 in urine. Direct fecal smears and the McMaster’s and Baermann’s Techniques will be used to identify parasites and quantify eggs per
gram of stool.

Abstract
Tropical peatlands, which coexist with swamp forests, have accumulated a vast amount of carbon as soil organic matter. However, large areas of the tropical
peatlands are undergoing degradation mainly because of anthropogenic disturbances due to deforestation, ire and land-use change with drainage into
farmland, palm plantation etc., which potentially accelerate peat decomposition into CO2. Our study addresses the environmental issue related to CO2 emissions
by assessing the carbon dynamics of the tropical peatlands mainly in Central Kalimantan using ield data of CO2 lux CO2 exchange between the atmosphere
and ecosystems. The principal aims of this study are to assess the carbon dynamics in the tropical peatlands using ield data, quantify the efects of the anthropogenic
disturbances and climate change on the carbon balance of the tropical peatland ecosystems and predict the carbon balance of the tropical peatlands of Southeast
Asia in the future under serious human pressures using a terrestrial biosphere model parameterized with ield data.

berdasarkan dokumen Implementation of ArrangementIA dari Indonesia China Center for Ocean ClimateICCOC. ICCOC sendiri adalah salah satu program yang
terdaftar di Lampiran II PERPRES No. 61 Tahun 2011 di dalam Matriks Kegiatan Pendukung Rencana Aksi Nasional Penurunan Emisi Gas Ruma Kaca RAN-GRK.
Fenomena iklim kelautan dan perubahan lingkungan global menjadi perhatian tersendiri pada saat sekarang karena cukup mempengaruhi kehidupan manusia.
Di lain pihak, Indonesia memiliki banyak keterbatasan untuk melakukan riset kelautan secara mandiri sehingga kerjasama riset dengan mitra peneliti dari negara
lain dirasakan sangat membantu baik dari sisi penguatan substansi ataupun dalam hal penggunaan fasilitas dan sarana laboratorium untuk melakukan analisis data.
Dalam kerjasama riset BENTHIC, selain peneliti dari Puslitbang Sumberdaya Laut dan Pesisir P3SDLP-Badan Litbang KP juga akan dilibatkan peneliti dari Puslitbang
Geologi Kelautan P3GL, Badan Litbang ESDM-Kementerian ESDM dan Puslit Geoteknologi-LIPI. Hal ini dilakukan agar manfaat kerjasama riset dengan mitra
asing dapat terjaring secara luas, sehingga dapat mencapaipenguatan kapasitas kelembagaan riset kelautan dalam negeri melalui kolaborasi riset secarakontinyu
dan terpadu.
Kegiatan pelayaran ilmiah BENTHIC 2014 berlokasi di Kawasan Samudera Hindia Perairan Barat Sumetera akan menggunakan K.R. Geomarin III milik P3GL,
memfokuskan pada pengambilan data primer sampel sedimen laut dalam, material tersuspensi pada air laut dan organisme bentik yang dianggap mewakili
sebagai proxy kondisi lingkungan masa lampau paleoenvirontment. Disamping itu dilakukan pula pengukuran parameter massa air laut seperti konduktivitas,
suhu dan densitas pada lapisan kedalaman tertentu hingga mencapai maksimal kedalaman 500 meter. Tujuan riset ini adalah untuk memahami proses sedimentasi
lingkungan laut dalam, mengidentifkasi keberagaman organisme bentik dikaitkan dengan perubahan lingkungan, serta untuk melakukan studi lingkungan dan
produktivitas lampau paleoenvirontment danpaleoproductivity. Lingkungan laut dalam merupakan tempat berlangsungnya proses upwelling, monsoon,
geodinamika dan tektonik aktif sejak rentang waktu geologi jutaan tahun lalu dan terus berlangsung hingga saat ini yang terekam pada lingkungan sedimen laut
dalam dan organisme bentik yang tersimpan sebagai informasi sejarah kebumian yang dapat menjelaskan keseluruhan proses yang terjadi. Diharapkan dari hasil
riset akan menambah pemahaman kita terhadap proses perubahan iklim dari rentang waktu jutaan tahun lalu hingga kondisi sekarang, untuk adaptasi yang
lebih baik bagi kehidupan manusia dan kelestarian sumber daya kelautan dan perikanan.

Process in Indonesia: Local Challenges and Opportunities Ashley Marie Enrici
Objective
The objective of my research is to enhance understanding of the opportunities and challenges to REDD+ implementation in Indonesia. In particular, my work will
consider the well-being of forest communities in Indonesia, stakeholder dynamics, and provide information that will facilitate successful implementation of the
REDD+ program for the country of Indonesia.
Background
Tropical forests are essential in the global carbon and hydrological cycles, and for the welfare of communities that depend on forest ecosystems for livelihood
and revenue. Indonesia currently has the world’s third largest tropical forest and the second highest rate of tropical deforestation IRTF 2012. Over 70 percent of
Indonesia still has forest cover, though by some estimates without intervention these forests will be gone by 2050ICSCFPGC 2012. This rate of deforestation
is a result of the recent boom in mining, agriculture, and timber - all of which frequently occur in areas of Indonesia historically occupied by tropical forests.
In recent years the United Nations has introduced the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation REDD program, a global endeavor that
aims to reduce deforestation and thus emissions in countries such as Indonesia. The main premise is to ofer incentives that will make conservation of these
forests economically viable and desirable. REDD+ is a more recent evolution of the REDD program and includes considerations beyond emissions reduction,
including environmental and socioeconomic beneits. Speciications of REDD+ are still being designed, and questions remain regarding the role of and impact on
stakeholders particularly at the local level where stakeholders are vulnerable and REDD+ implementation will ultimately occur. The aim of my research is to inform

this issue for the beneit of local forest communities and the larger REDD+ program in Indonesia using literature review, stakeholder interviews and case studies to
compare and contrast the opportunities, challenges and goals of stakeholders in Indonesia that are involved in REDD+. I will be ailiated with and supported in
my research by Dr. AchmadNurmandi and the JusufKalla School of Governmentat UniversitasMuhammadiyah Yogyakarta UMY, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Emission factors from Peat Fires in Indonesia During the main burning season in August - September - October we will closely
monitor ire activity using MODIS satellite data. We will visit sites where ires are burning actively and when the weather forecast is favorable for ire conditions.
At the site, we will record carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide concentrations at diferent levels above the ires as well as downwind of the ires. The ratio between
these two is not well known for peat ires but is required to better constrain absolute emissions. We aim to measure this ratio at a number of sites and understand their
spatial variability.
To explain this variability we will measure windspeed, relative humidity, temperature, drainage depth, peat characteristics, and peat moisture content

at diferent depths. Using multiple linear regression we hope to disentangle the drivers of the diferences in ratio between carbon monoxide and dioxide.
