10/10/2014 Tropical Forest (Tropical Moist Forest) (Whitmore, 1990) The rain forest is prevalent over most part of Indonesia. There are considerable floristic variation which are related to differences in soils and topography. Broader variations are also reflected by the horizontal zonation (related to geologic history) Tropical rain forests and vertical zonation (related to elevation) BY: which develop in the hot Tropical seasonal and humid region (every forest which develop in CECEP KUSMANA month is wet, 100 mm seasonally dry climate FACULTY OF FORESTRY, BOGOR AGRICULTURAL rainfall or more) which (4 – 6 dry months with lack of a pronounced dry 60 mm rainfall or less) UNIVERSITY seasons 2011 Main Types of The Tropical Forest in Indonesia Mangrove Forest Mangroves as Interface Ecosystem Climate Soil Water Soils Elevation Forest formation Seasonally dry Strong annual shortage Podsol, Renzina, 0 – (750) 1000 m , Lowland Monsoon forest Ecological Function Latosol (seasonal forest) Forest formation growing in the intertidal zone of tropical and sub- Red yellow 1000 – 3000 m Montane monsoon forest podsolic, latosol, tropical areas, mainly extensively grows in the sheltered coastline, delta, andosol Ever-wet Dryland Zonal (mainly Lowland Lowland evergreen rain lagoon, estuary and river bank (perhumid) oxisols, ultisols) forest (750) 1200- Lower montane rain This forests can grow on muddy alluvial soils, sands, peat, and coraly soils 1500 m forest (1500) 2500 – Upper montane rain forest 3300 m (3350) m Mountains 3000 (3350) m Subalpine forest Terestrial ecosystem to tree-line INTERFACE Podozolized sands 0 – (750) 1000 m Heath forest Marine ecosystem Renzina, Latosol 0 – (750) 1000 m Forest over limestone Soils with high Mg, 0 – (750) 1000 m Forest over ultrabasic Fe, and Si content Water table high Coastal Regosol, Red 0 – (750) 1000 m Beach forest (at least salt- yellow podsolic periodically) water Alluvial < 0 m Mangrove forest Inland Oligotrophic peats 0 – (750) 1000 m Peat swamp forest Economical Function fresh Eutrophic (muck Biological Function 0 – (750) 1000 m Freshwater swamp forest water and minerals) soil 1 10/10/2014 General characteristic of mangroves Example of Zonation in Mangrove MANGROVE DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA Halophytes, Salt-tolerant plants 1.

Forest on slightly higher ground is often dominated by Develop viviparious fruit Bruguiera cylindrica and can form virtually pure stands behind Avicennia forest. Develop anatomical tissue to excerting salt (Avicennia, Sonneratia, Aegiceras, Acanthus, & Laguncularia), excluding salt (Rhizophora, 3. Forest further inland is dominated by Rhizophora mucronata Ceriops, Bruguiera, Acrostichum) and accumulation salt (Xylocarpus and and R. apiculata, the former preferring slightly wetter Lumnitzera) conditions and deeper mud. These trees can be 35-40 m tall. Commonly show zonation 4. Forest dominated by Bruguiera parviflora can occur in pure stands and whereas it often invades Rhizophora 5. The final mangrove forest is that dominated by Bruguiera gymnorrhiza.

So, they develop Wader and seabird which nesting, resting and feeding in Fresh water swamp forest are wide spread over alluvial soils pneumatophores in adapting to the anaerobic soils beach forest that are periodically flooded for long periods with rich condition: Sea turtle (green sea turtle, howksbill, leatherback, mineral fresh water (pH more than 6) associated with loggerhead) are nesting in beach forest (Tambelan island, coastal swamp, inland lake and huge low-lying river basin Berau island, Paloh and Lemukuta island at West Kalimantan, Meru Betiri and Baluran NP) Fresh water swamp forest habitat is extremely Coconut Crab (Ocypode) heterogenous in soils and vegetation, where a few centimeters of peat may occur. So that, floristic composition varies from: Floating grass, sedges and herbs In Indonesia, the freshwater swamp vegetation occurs Pandan and palm swamp in all islands in area where climate ranges from Scrub seasonally dry to very wet, in the lowlands and Similar to lowland rain forest highlands. The great extern of freshwater swamp forest in Indonesia occur in the lowland of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua Flora Fauna Causes of Freshwater Swamp Forest The most important trees in freshwater swamp forest Fauna diversity and abundance in freshwater swamp Destruction are the genera of: forest vary with the structure and floral diversity of the forest Convertion to Melaleuca cajuputi and agricultural Alstonia Mangifera cultivation (sugar cane, coconut, pineapple, Barringtonia Neesia Macaca fascicularis rubber, palm oil, paddy field, etc.) Campnospermae Pholidocarpus Crocodillus porosus Dillenia Melanorrhoea Eugenia Metroxylon sagu Tomistoma schlegelii Shorea Calophyllum Canarium Koompassia 6 10/10/2014 Peat swamp forests are extent in Sumatra and PEAT SWAMP FOREST Kalimantan. Characteristics of peat swamp forest are: Mineral nutrient amount of the soil decreases toward the center of the swamp, markedly for Low nutrient content of blackwater Peat : a soil type with a very high (> 65%) organic contents, at Potassium and Phosphorus, reflected in the High concentration of humic acid
