Only tree species that have a high adaptability able to grow and survive in the site. Hambalang mined-land is one of the working area of PT. Indocement Tunggal Prakasa Tbk where require the reclamation efforts. Therefore, this study is being crucial for supporting these efforts. Objectives of this research are: 1) to identify trees species which grow in the study site; 2) to determine quality of the trees growth in the study site; 3) to describe ecological functions, economical and social benefits of each trees founded in the study site; 4) to make recommendations of which trees species have high adaptability for mined-land reclamation in Hambalang. Inventory to all of tree species grow both inside and outside of the 2004’s reclamation area is research method that applied-in. Meanwhile, weighting and scoring procedure is used to analyze the quality of growth, the functions and benefits, characteristics and technical planting aspects of the trees. The data that are processed to analyze the benefits and functions, characteristics and technical planting aspects of each tree species -especially in outside of the 2004’s reclamation area- based on references study, direct field observations and interviews with related stakeholders. The research found that 15 trees species grow in the 2004’s reclamation area and 41 trees species are identified grow in outside of 2004’s reclamation area. The trees species that have high growth quality relatively in the 2004’s reclamation area are Ki Acret (Spathodea campanulata), Sengon (Falcataria molucana), Randu (Ceiba pentandra), and Beringin (Ficus benjamina). Tree species which have high adaptability in 2004’s reclamation area are Beringin (Ficus benjamina), Sengon (Falcataria molucana), Turi (Sesbania grandiflora), Ki Acret (Spathodea campanulata), Flamboyan (Delonix regia), Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala), Randu (Ceiba 1 pentandra), Mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla), and Gamal (Gliricidia sepium). These tree species are recommended for reclamation activity in PT Indocement Tunggal Prakasa Tbk. Some suggestions can be delivered as a result of this research are making guide book of tree species for reclamation need, tree-species-trial research, and changing the orientation of reclamation area management to ecological restoration approach. Keywords: quarry, reclamation, tree species adaptability 1. Introduction Determining tree species is an important step in reclamation former-quarry area. Determination of suitable tree species with site condition will give high reclamation performance. Reclamation in this context is intended as activities which are carried out throughout the mining stage by organizing, restoring and improving quality of environment and ecosystems in order to re-functionalized as an allotment (Law Decree of RI No. 4 of 2009). In general, reclamation could have a variety of interpretations. However, they have similar orientation that is an effort to find an economical way permanently to achieve certain goals. For a civil engineers, reclamation aims to (1) stabilize soil surface, (2) control pollution, (3) improve visual appearance and (4) general amenity. However, since the soil is known have a value for producing agricultural products, we add the goal of reclamation is to (5) productivity. Finally, a more ambitious goal is to restore the natural resources back to the original ecological condition, so that the orientation of reclamation by added improving (6) diversity, (7) the species composition and (8) ecosystems function (Bradshaw, 1987). Framework underlying this study is reclamation which is oriented to ecosystem recovery. According to those orientations, determination tree species is the first priority. The main consideration in determining tree species for former quarry reclamation is the level of tree adaptability on a particular condition. Only tree species that have a high adaptability able to grow and survive in former quarry area. High adaptation of tree species indicated by the quality of growth, the benefits and functions, characteristics and technical planting aspects of the trees. Hambalang’s ex-mining area is one of the working area locations of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk. The main activities of this company is producing cement which taking clay minerals as raw materials. However, they also have obligation to carry out reclamation in the former quarry. Based on this background, this research is oriented to support the successful of reclamation activities, and assign the title "Determining High Adaptability Tree Species in Former Quarry Hambalang" 2. Objectives Objectives of this research are 1) to identify trees species which grow in the study site; 2) to determine quality of the trees growth in the study site; 3) to describe ecological functions, economical and social benefits of each trees founded in the study site; 4) to make recommendations of which trees species have high adaptability for mined-land reclamation in Hambalang. 3. Method The research was conducted for about 30 (thirty) working days, located in the former quarry Hambalang, PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk, Indonesia. Observation object of research are various trees species which are planted on former quarry area. The trees were planted at reclamation area in fiscal year 2004, 2005, 2006 , 2007, 2008 and 2009. The equipment used for this research are: 2 measuring tape, compass, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), phi-band, hagameter, thermohygrometer, drill soil, ground ring, camera, binoculars, and stationery. The primary data taken from the field are: name, diameter, height, crown, pests and diseases, flowering/fruiting and root development of the tree species. Supporting data taken are temperature, humidity, and soil samples. Secondary data are consists of: maps, coverage area, tree species which were planted, number of tree, and year of planting. References study, direct field observation and interview conducted to support describing function and benefit of each tree species, characteristics of tree species and technical planting aspect, both inside

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

Lu South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510650, China Received March 2003 PENG, S. L., LIU, J. & LU, H. F. 2005. Characteristics and role of Acacia auriculiformis on vegetation restoration in lower subtropics of China. Acacia auriculiformis was introduced to degraded lower subtropical China for vegetation restoration. A long- term case study showed that these trees grew fast and formed forest cover in the degraded land. The leaf area, efficiency of solar radiation utilization, biomass as well as productivity of the forests reached a high level and the soil fertility was improved through nitrogen fixation of tree roots. Acacia auriculiformis communities reconstructed the habitat in degraded areas, which provided appropriate settlement conditions for native species and the whole community was in advanced succession. However, with the development of community structure, A. auriculiformis showed indication of decline gradually due to the changing environment and unsuccessful self-regeneration. They would be replaced increasingly by native species which adapt to the changed habitat. As exotic species, A. auriculiformis was demonstrated to be a safe and ideal tree for vegetation restoration in degraded lower subtropics. However, it can be considered only as pioneer species and some forest reconstruction measures should be taken to accelerate the process of restoration.
