142 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 Abstract Since 1982, we have many cooperative studies of plant ecology in Indonesia: Krakatau, Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan. We made nearly 100 plots and their total area was 40ha. In these 30 years, the environment of Indonesia has changed drastically. Some of our study sites are still in good condition, some are changed a little, others are destroyed. The comparison of the plots between the original and today conditions will give us useful information to know the change of forest. The purpose of our research is to detect the forest and biodiversity change from remeasurements of old plots. Another recent threat for tropical forests is invasive plants. We will study also how invasive plants are spreading into reserved area.

Efects of inter-guild speciic interactions between lower-visiting species on pollination services in Indonesian housegardens Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari dampak kombinasi kedatangan serangga penyerbuk terhadap kuantitas dan kualitas buah serta benih Bidang Penelitian : Pertanian 143 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 Daerah Penelitian : Sulteng Kabupaten Donggala Lama Penelitian : 10 sepuluh bulan mulai 6 Maret 2013 Mitra Kerja : Universitas Tadulako Dr. Shahabuddin Abstract Crop pollination is a key ecosystem service threatened by agricultural intensiication and land conversion. However, gaps in knowledge of actual beneits from pollination services impede efective management planning. In the course of our project I will study the interaction between diferent pollinator guilds like social bees, stingless bees, solitary bees, lies and beetles to understand how guild interactions afect the efectiveness of the dominant pollinating species. In particular, I will study the efects of the number andor order of combinations of visits by diferent pollinator guilds on the quantity and quality of fruit and seed set on the locally important crop species. I selected two annual crop species, cucumber and carrot, commonly grown in traditional housegardens in Indonesia. I expect that lower-visiting taxa interact on crop lowers, which afect pollination success either in cucumber or carrot. I also expect that multiple lower visits could lead more often into fruit set than single lower visits and multiple lower visits of several taxa turn more often into fruit set than multiple visits of a single taxa. This study is of generally interest because total net interactions are not completely understood up till now. The knowledge of these efects can contribute to new management possibilities to raise the net production of the crops in a sustainable way. In this way the study can help to protect the pollinator diversity of Sulawesi and increase ecosystem services important for crop production.

87. Improving oil palm yield on smallholder peatland plots in Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Memahami dampak BMP Best Management Practices pada pertumbuhan minyak sawit untuk dapat meningkatkan produktivitas minyak sawit Bidang Penelitian : Pertanian Daerah Penelitian : Riau Perkebunan Ds. Dosan di Siak, Sumut Simalungun, Jambi, Kalbar Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan mulai 25 September 2013 Mitra Kerja : PT. PP London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk Ir. Ahmad Subagyo Abstrak Smallholder oil palm farmers in Indonesia generally underperform in terms of yield due to a range of reasons, including lack of access to inance, lack of good quality seeds and inputs, poor soils and drainage, and a lack of knowledge and experience. In this project, we propose to assess the size of the yield gap and to increase knowledge and improve skills of smallholder oil palm farmers by setting up on- farm experimental plots where Best Management Practices BMPs are to be implemented in a step-wise fashion and yields will be recorded carefully. We have chosen this approach because: - It will improve knowledge on how fast, to what extent, and against what costs the yield gap can be bridged. - It will test the efectiveness of demonstration plots as a tool to improve production in a single area. This approach will provide farmers with a real life demonstration of Best Management Practices and their potential, instead of theory only. In the reseach areas, we advise the farmers on how to implement BMPs, using the plots as a starting point to tackle the constraints that the farmers encounter. We focus on providing farmers with training and support, and on monitoring yields, palm growth, and impacts of the project on livelihoods in the broader community. 145 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 The demonstration plots are established step-wise, starting with basic agronomic practices and fertilisation to overcome key deiciencies. Later, farmers will be trained to implement optimum fertilization, integrated pest management, selective thinning and other more advanced practices where needed. Trainings are given in the ield, using locally available inputs and materials. In this way, we stimulate ‘best-it’ intensiication, which depends to a large extent on spontaneous difusion for its spread and uptake in the wider community. A key outcome of the project, will be to identify the practices which farmers readily adopt, and to adapt or discard the practices which do not take hold.

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari efektivitas penyerbukan oleh serangga yang berbeda pada ketimun dan wortel Bidang Penelitian : Pertanian Daerah Penelitian : Sulteng Kabupaten Donggala Lama Penelitian : 10 sepuluh bulan mulai 6 Maret 2013 Mitra Kerja : Universitas Tadulako Prof. Dr. Alam Anshari 147 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 Abstrak Pollination by wild animals, especially insects, can be important for crop production but is threatened by agriculture intensiication and land conversion. However, gaps in knowledge of pollinator community and species-speciic efectiveness to contribute to the overall pollination services impede efective management planning. Many studies argue that not all lower-visiting-species are efective pollinators and some taxonomic guilds efectively pollinate some plant species but not others. We therefore study the efectiveness of diferent pollinator guilds on two annual crops with distinctive lower morphology and selected cucumber Cucumis sativus and carrot Daucus carota as commonly grown crop species in traditional Indonesian housegardens. The efectiveness of ive pollinator taxonomic guilds will be measured by single pollinator visits to virgin lowers and the thereof resulting fruitseed set and fruitseed quality e.g. weight and shape. It is expected to show a diference in the pollination efectiveness of the diferent pollinator guilds for the two crop species. Flies and beetles are expected to be more efective to pollinate carrot while bees are expected to be more efective to pollinate cucumber. This study is of general interest to local farmers, the international research community and policy makers, because of its contribution to ill gaps in the knowledge of species-speciic pollinator efectiveness. The results will contribute to a better understanding of this ecosystem service. Eventually it may contribute to new management possibilities, which could raise the net production of the crops on the one hand and protect the Indonesian biodiversity on the other hand.

91. Prospective analysisof oil palm development in Riau and Jambi Propinces

Tujuan Penelitian : Mendeinisikan skenario dan evolusi sektor kelapa sawit termasuk sistem produksi, mata rantai perdagangan dan tata kelola sektor ekonomi tersebut oleh ototitas publik dan para pemangku kepentingan 148 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 Bidang Penelitian : Pertanian Daerah Penelitian : Bogor CIFOR, Prov. Riau dan Prov. Jambi Lama Penelitian : 6 enam bulan mulai 5 Juni 2013 Mitra Kerja : Fak. Pertanian - Universitas Lampung Prof. Dr.Jamalam Lumbanraja Abstrak Oil palm is one of the most productive and proitable tropical crops for food and biofuel production. In some regions, such as Southeast Asia and more speciically Indonesia, oil palm is a major driver of economic development. On the other hand, the increasing demand for palm oil induces expansion of plantations, and raises issues of environment conservation as well as competition for land. Therefore, promoting a sustainable growth of the production is a signiicant challenge to the Indonesian government and industry. In this context, a prospective analysis of oil palm development will help local stakeholders to communicate and organize themselves to tackle issues of sustainability and productivity of the sector in there province.The ield work will be conducted in Riau and Jambi provinces in Indonesia and the aim is to deine scenarios of evolution of the oil palm sector possible futures - including the production systems, the trade chain and the governance of this economic sector. Furthermore, the analysis will be conducted in three steps:i technical-economic analysis of oil palm cropping systems, ii stakeholder analysis, and iii participatory prospective analysis. First, the research will focus on the proitability of oil palm plantations and palm oil production. Second, the study will investigate the organization of stakeholders within the oil palm sector in the two provinces, including: oil palm companies, smallholders, middle-men, public services and civil society. Finally, a participatory prospective analysis will be conducted to work with these stakeholders on any issue that they are interested in such as access to seedlings, organization of technical trainings for smallholders, land use planning at village scale, etc…. The subject of the prospective analysis will be further deined based on the stakeholder analysis and the issues raised by the stakeholders during the discussions and interviews. 149 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013

92. Research proposal on Oil Palm Landscape dynamic

Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis dinamika-dinamika produksi minyak kelapa sawit dalam skala regional Bidang Penelitian : Pertanian Daerah Penelitian : Prov. Jambi dan Prov. Riau Lama Penelitian : 6 enam bulan mulai 5 Juni 2013 Mitra Kerja : Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian- Kementan Dr. Fahmudin Agus Abstract The objective of this PhD is to analyze palm oil production dynamics at a regional scale. In order to do so, I intend to identify factors involved in the spatial development of oil palm. Both biophysical such as soil types, slope and socio- economic such as oil incomes from oil palm factors will be taken into account. Then. I will develop a model based on stakeholders’ decisions that will represent the patterns of this development. The informatics development of this model will inally allow me to propose possible futures of the spatial development of oil palm. Modeling oil palm production dynamics implies understanding constraints and driving factors of various nature and scale. Models based on integrated analysis can give a better understanding of land system functioning and stakeholders decision making and thus allow for a better deinition of pathways for future land use1. In order to take into account the complexity of this process, a model will be developed based on the multi-agent methodology Cormas programming environment”. This model will be used to simulate scenarios of landscape dynamics. 150 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 To develop this model, I will have to analyze all the processes involved in oil palm spatial dynamics through an extensive survey of the case study regions Riau and Jambi provinces. This survey will consist irst in mapping oil palm cropping systems based on remote sensing analysis, validated by ground checking, second in interviewing stakeholders. I plan to interview the various types of oil palm growers in order to elicit the main factors determining the location of their plantation and their agricultural practices. Data collection will take place in two provinces in order to compare oil palm dynamics and highlight the generic factors of oil palm development. Once the model is developed, scenarios will be simulated and maps showing several possible future landscapes will be produced. These maps will help the local governments kabnpaten level in their task of land use planning. Five steps are considered during the PhD work: 1 Characterization of the study area using remote sensing analysis 2 Field data collection in Riau and Jambi provinces two 6 months periods are planned in 2013 and 2014 3 Modeling oil palm cropping systems dynamics in the study area 4 Simulating narrative scenarios to produce spatial scenarios’ maps of oil palm future landscapes.

In this scientiic project SP, we focus on aboveground animal biodiversity patterns and related ecological functions at local and landscape scales in lowland forest, jungle rubber resembling secondary forest, rubber plantations and oil palm plantations. Decreases in diversity from lowland forest to agroecosystems have already been reported. However, spatial patterns of biodiversity essential for scaling indings up to landscape scales are poorly known. Similarly, lack of knowledge about the relationship between taxonomic and functional diversity and resulting ecosystem services hampers the prediction of ecological functioning. Using two taxonomically and functionally diverse groups, ants and birds, we will sample all core plots at multiple scales to quantify beta diversity and it species-area relationships. We will test for congruence between taxonomical and functional diversity responses of ant and bird communities to rainforest transformation at diferent scales.
