G. 1 Funcional Diversity of Birds and Bats in Agroforestry Landscapes of Indo- nesia: Biological Control and Seed Dispersal Tujuan Peneliian : Mempelajari fungsi keanekaragaman burung dan kelelawar dalam kontrol biologi dan penyebaran benih di kawasan pertanian kehutanan Bidang Peneliian : Agroekologi Lama Peneliian : 12 duabelas bulan, mulai 3 Februari 2010 Daerah Peneliian : Sulteng Desa Wuasa, Watumena, Alitupu di perbatasan TN Lore Lindu Mitra Kerja : Dr. Shahabudin Saleh Fakultas Pertanian – Universitas Tadulako Abstrak Ongoing loss of natural habitats in many tropical regions is caused by a considerable expansion of area required for land use and settlements. Agroforestry systems have been suggested to conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats. However, it is still unclear how local and landscape management regimes of agroforests contribute to the conservation of functional diversity of vertebrate communities. Birds and bats represent mobile links within and among habitats and provide important ecosystem services like seed dispersal and biological control. Our study will provide the first experimental evidence on the influences of local shade tree management and agricultural landscape structure on birds and bats as seed dispersers and biological control agents of pest insects. The research will be carried out in the Napu Valley Central Sulawesi and in close collaboration of the Universities Gőttingen and Palu. Exclosure experiments, quantification of foliage damage, mist netting of birds, 131 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 cage enclosures and seed distribution experiments will be conducted in cacao agroforests Theobroma cacao, testing both for the effect of distance to forest margin and presence of shade trees. Result of this research from 2010 to 2011 will help us better understand the functional role of vertebrates on invertebrate communities and vegetation regeneration, which are poorly understood to date. In face of the increasing pressure on tropical ecosystems and global biodiversity hot spots like Sulawesi, knowledge of the relative importance of local and landscape management for biodiversity and its relation to ecosystem services makes reliable recommendations essential.

Kutai Kertanegara dan DKI Jakarta Mitra Kerja : Pusat Peneliian Kependudukan LIPI Drs. Herry Jogaswara, M.A. Abstrak The BOSF reforestation program is an ideal project to assess of the country’s sustainability strategy because its existing framework and objectives incorporate economic, environmental and social considerations. Additionally, the Indonesian Department of Forest and Plantations has asked BOSF to manage the 500,000ha Mawas Reserve in Central Kalimantan. Reforestation efforts have the additional advantage of mitigating the effects of greenhouse gases, as rainforest ecosystems offer high levels of carbon sequestration. If effective, this could put BOSF and Indonesia at the cutting edge, in the sustainable development field and in the current climate change debate. It places Indonesia in a unique position offer solutions and lead efforts to address climate change through progressive, practically policy solutions to a global crisis. 132 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 Sustainable development incorporates three parameters: economic viability, respect for the global environment and the local ecosystem, and consideration for social issues. Key BOSF endeavors include sugar palm harvesting, community development and reforestation. Sugar palm restores nutrients and yields approximately 19 tons of biofuel per hectare per year. It requires manual tapping, which creates year-round job opportunities and discourages illegal logging.

Bidang Peneliian : Ekologi Lama Peneliian : 12 dua belas bulan, mulai 4 Oktober 2010. Daerah Peneliian : Kalteng Kalampangan Zone, Blok C eks PLG Mitra Kerja : CIMTROP University Palangka Raya Dr. Ir. Suwido H. Limin, M. S. Abstrak The Tropical peat swamp forest is a forest that the underground part in this forest contains huge amount of carbon. The tropical peat swamp forest has been experienced development for a few decades. Most of such developments has resulted in failure and caused serious environmental problems. For example, development of tropical peat land requires clear cutting and drainage by digging canal. Drainage increases vulnerability of peat soil to fire. Then in causes fire and repeated fires release huge amount of carbon to the atmosphere and spread barren field. In Central Kalimantan, there have spread such barren field. Recently some attempts to rehabilitate barren field has been implemented. A planting project called BLTS Buying Living Tree System has been done experimentally since 2001. This system is expected to be an effective rehabilitative method because the system laid importance on connecting earnings of local people to rehabilitation of peat lands. In this sense this, method would be sustainable. However, evaluation of the effects of the system has not been done yet. Here, the objective of the present study is to quantify the effect of BLTS on carbon storage 133 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 function which is one of the important ecosystem functions of tropical peat lands. For the objective I will determine the rate of carbon that the rehabilitated field sequestrates by measuring primary production, decomposition rate and peat bulk density.
