Abstract
Santalum album Linn. (sandalwood) is a commercially important species due to the essential oils derived from its heartwood. This species has been currently threatened by overharvesting and habitat fragmentation. Therefore, this study aims to assess genetic diversity and population structure of seven Indonesian sandalwood populations using eight nuclear simple sequence repeat (nSSR) markers. The samples comprised 202 individuals from one ex-situ conservation

Abstract
While the expansion of monoculture oil palm plantations has contributed to national and local economic growth, large-scale development within forested areas has led to deforestation in Indonesia. This has raised concerns among key market countries, particularly in the European Union, potentially leading to trade restrictions on Indonesia’s oil palm products linked to deforestation. In response, the Indonesian government has introduced several regulations
Abstract
Urban green areas offer a range of ecosystem services and recreational attractions, including the comfortable microclimate. However, the influence of microclimate conditions on visitor preferences to visit urban green space areas is still necessary to be investigated. This study aims to evaluate the microclimate conditions and their influence on visitor preferences at Wisdom Park, Gadjah Mada University. Microclimate parameters, such as temperature, humidity,
Abstract
In the 1990s, the ambitious yet disastrous 1 million ha Mega Rice Project (MRP) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, left behind vast areas of degraded and abandoned peatlands. The drainage of these peat soils has led to subsidence and substantial carbon emissions. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used to quantify peat subsidence in this vast area through satellite data, although it often suffers from incomplete spatial coverage due to
Abstract
Schizolobium parahyba, a fast-growing tree species from South America, was introduced to Indonesia as a potential timber source. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of heat-treatment at 150-200 ºC (4h) on the physical and mechanical properties of S. parahyba wood. The results show that weight loss (WL) increased from 2.62 ± 0.29% at 150 ºC to 9.22 ± 0.86% at 190 ºC, while anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) increased from 3.44 ± 0.78% at 150 ºC to 29.84
Abstract
The Mutis-Timau Forest Complex, Timor Island, in eastern Indonesia has limited forest resources and is threatened by deforestation and degradation. Consequently, forest and natural resource management policies have prioritized on nontimber forest products (NTFPs) development. Although not yet designated as superior NTFPs in Timor, several native medicinal plants – faloak (Sterculia quadrifida), screw tree (Helicteres isora), and beard lichen (Usnea barbata)
Abstract
Field surveys for rare and endangered species are essential to identify new populations and improve the understanding of their natural distribution for effective conservation but are often constrained by limited prior information. In the present study, the fieldwork guided by species distribution models (SDMs) and local ecological knowledge (LEK) was conducted to discover previously unknown distributions of endangered Castanopsis argentea and C. tungurrut on
