Djzamanni Yahya, Cheksum Tawan Department of Plant Science and Environmental Ecology Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, University Malaysia of Sarawak 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study of the effect of different light intensities and water depths on the growth pattern, biomass allocation and photosynthetic rate of Cryptocoryne pallidinervia collected from Sungai Prasak, Keranji, Lundu, Sarawak, Malaysia, was conducted. Plants grown under tree canopy condition produced more leaves and lateral shoots than those grown under 50 % and 75 % shading. By increasing shade to 75 % level, the plants grew taller with larger leaves. The expansion of individual leaves at 75 % shade required 51 days to reach maximum size. The growth pattern such as leaf weight ratio (LWR), petiole weight ratio (PWR), rhizome weight ratio (RhWR) as well as root weight ratio (RWR) and biomass allocation such as specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR), dry matter production (DMP), leaf area duration (LAD) and net assimilation rate (NAR) were significantly affected by shading. Plants grown in the depth of 15 cm were significantly taller and required a longer period to achieve maximum leaf expansion than those grown at 0 cm and 7 cm water depth. Growth pattern and biomass allocation were also significantly affected by water depths. Plants grown under 75 % shading and those grown at 0 cm water depth resulted in higher maximum quantum yield. However, plants at 75 % shade and those at 7 cm water depth had higher photosynthetic production at 300 µmol quanta m-2s-1 than those from other shade regimes and water depths. Keywords: Cryptocoryne pallidinervia, light intensity, water depth, growth pattern, photosynthesis. Introduction Species of Cryptocoryne, also known as Keladi Air by locals in Sarawak, are mostly endemic aquatic plants. According to Jacobsen (1985), ten species of Cryptocoryne were recorded from Sarawak viz. C. auriculata Engl., C. bullosa Engl., C. ciliata (Roxb.)Kunth, C. ferruginea Engl., C. grabowskii Engl., C. keei N. Jacobsen, C. lingua Engl., C. pallidinervia Engl., C. striolata Engl. and C. zonata De Wit. Another four new species of Cryptocoryne recently found in Received 14 July 2015 Reviewed 16 December 2015 Accepted 07 November 2016 Published 15 October 2017 2 Ipor et al. Sarawak were C. uenoi Sasaki (Sasaki, 2002), C. yujii Bastmeijer (Bastmeijer, 2002), C. zaidiana Ipor & al. (Ipor et al., 2005a), C. fusca De Wit (Ipor & al. 2006), and a new interspecific hybrid C. ×batangkayanensis Ipor & al. (Ipor & al. 2015). Jacobsen (1985) described three different habitats in which the Cryptocoryne grow, vis. the inner tidal zone as an amphibious life form, slow to fast running water as an aquatic life form and at the bank of smaller rivers as a rheophytic life form. Most of the Cryptocoryne are evergreen perennial herbs with procumbent to erect rhizomes and short to long subterranean runners. Cryptocoryne pallidinervia is characterized by the limb of the spathe that has prominent, red protuberances and a broad, yellow collar zone with red spots, and on the spadix the male and female flowers are adjacent to each other (Arends et al., 1982; Bastmeijer, 2015). The leaves are cordate in shape and often somewhat bullate. The physical appearance possessed by the species of Cryptocoryne have promoted the potential of these plants as aquarium plants. Species of Cryptocoryne are some of the commercially important aquatic species used in the aquarium plant trade, which have made them marketable products on the global market (Rataj & Horeman, 1977; Mansor, 1994). Besides that, the Cryptocoryne species are of great importance in aquatic ecology. In their natural habitats, they provide nutrients to other aquatic organisms. During the photosynthetic process, oxygen is supplied to the water thus lowering the BOD (biological oxygen demand) of the water. To some extent there is also an uptake of excessive nutrients from the water if not too contaminated and thus helps to clean it. The occurrence of Cryptocoryne

Sabah’s administrative history, its rural and agricultural sector economic development, and the social structures of rural society are deliberated upon extensively since these elements are found to be intricately interwoven in the incidence of rural poverty and the acceptance or willingness by rural communities to participate in poverty eradication programmes such as contract farming. Based on document reviews, participation in contract farming programmes is found to be static (neither increasing or declining) with the exception of rubber planting and paddy production which showed significant increase.

  • Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 85 ( 2013 ) 544 – 553 AcE-Bs 2013 Hanoi ASEAN Conference on Environment-Behaviour Studies Hanoi Architectural University, Hanoi, Vietnam, 19-22 March 2013 "Cultural Sustainability in the Built and Natural Environment" Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation Haijon Gunggut*, Chua Kim Hing, Dg Siti Noor Saufidah Ag Mohd Saufi Universiti Teknologi MARA, Locked Bag 71, 88997 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Abstract This paper seeks to account for the variations in implementation progress of the Anti-litterbugs Campaign in Sabah. A total of nine local authorities were studied. Data was mainly obtained from interviews, observations and written sources. The variation in the Campaign implementation progress can be explained in term of campaign internalization among local authority top leadership. Internalization is reflected in the understanding of the campaign and priority of local government top leaderships observed in their actions, choice of words and activities. In addition, the structure of the local authority also influenced implementation progress. © 2013 The Authors.

  • Mantle Structure and Tectonic History of SE Asia
    Nature and Demise of the Proto-South China Sea ROBERT HALL, H. TIM BREITFELD SE Asia Research Group, Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, United Kingdom Abstract: The term Proto-South China Sea has been used in a number of different ways. It was originally introduced to describe oceanic crust that formerly occupied the region north of Borneo where the modern South China Sea is situated. This oceanic crust was inferred to have been Mesozoic, and to have been eliminated by subduction beneath Borneo. Subduction was interpreted to have begun in Early Cenozoic and terminated in the Miocene. Subsequently the term was also used for inferred oceanic crust, now disappeared, of quite different age, notably that interpreted to have been subducted during the Late Cretaceous below Sarawak. More recently, some authors have considered that southeast-directed subduction continued until much later in the Neogene than originally proposed, based on the supposition that the NW Borneo Trough and Palawan Trough are, or were recently, sites of subduction. Others have challenged the existence of the Proto-South China Sea completely, or suggested it was much smaller than envisaged when the term was introduced. We review the different usage of the term and the evidence for subduction, particularly under Sabah. We suggest that the term Proto-South China Sea should be used only for the slab subducted beneath Sabah and Cagayan between the Eocene and Early Miocene. Oceanic crust subducted during earlier episodes of subduction in other areas should be named differently and we use the term Paleo- Pacific Ocean for lithosphere subducted under Borneo in the Cretaceous.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • Conservation Area Management Plan
    FMU10: CAMP VER. 2 1. SITE CONSERVATION CONTEXT OF FOREST MANAGEMENT UNIT (FMU 10) 1.1 Objective of the FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 Under the mid – term review as documented under the Revised Conservation Area Management Plan (CAMP) for FMU 10, which was approved by the Chief Conservator of Forests Sabah (formerly the Director of Forestry) in the year 2013, a new set of CAMP has to be prepared by the Management Planning Core Team (MPCT) including the Resource Persons Group (RPG) for FMU10 towards the end of 2016. This new document, also known as the Second Revised CAMP for FMU10, is referred to as FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 (FMU10: CAMP Version 2). The rationale and management objectives of FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2 is as follows: 1.1.1 Area, Site’s Name and Location: The whole of the FMU 10 (Tambunan) is located in central Sabah, between longitude E 116o 21’ 13. 8” and E 117o 01’ and latitude N 5o 27’N and 5o 52’N. For management and identification purposes under this FMU10: CAMP Ver. 2, the area and the site’s name is known as the Forest Management Unit Number 10 or FMU10 (Tambunan). As of December 2016, the FMU10 consisted of the Nuluhon Trusmadi Forest Reserve with a total size of 74, 736 hectare (ha) and the Sg. Kiluyu Forest Reserve with a total area of 1, 068 ha. Both are Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserves, with a total size of 75,804 ha. In late 2016, an area totalling 12,241 ha was excised out from the neighbouring Trusmadi Forest Reserve (FMU 5: Class II Forest Reserve) in Ranau.
