Abstract
Coffee is commonly cultivated under agroforestry systems, including dry-field and homegarden. These systems were differentiated based on their proximity to the settlements, which might influence the species composition. This study aimed to observe plant composition, diversity, vegetation structure, and microclimate in coffee agroforestry systems and the physiological conditions of coffee. The experimental design was based on purposive sampling. A total of 100 read more

Abstract
Two first-generation progeny trials of Ficus variegata Blume were planted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, consisting of 17 families from the provenances of West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) and 19 families from the provenances of Cilacap-Pangandaran (C-P), respectively. The trials were evaluated after 10 years for growth characteristics [diameter (D), tree height (H) and stem volume (V)] and wood properties [stress-wave velocity (SWV) and Pilodyn penetration (P)].

Saat ini beberapa jenis pohon tropika, seperti jati, pinus dan meranti berhasil tumbuh sangat cepat. Produktivitas dan pertambahan volume pohon atau riap tegakan semakin besar per satuan waktunya. Pertumbuhan yang begitu mengesankan tersebut berkat penelitian dan inovasi bidang pemuliaan pohon. Sebelum ini, hasil penebangan pohon jati biasa pada akhir daur dengan rerata umur 40 tahun hanya mencapai 68,7 meter kubik per hektar. Sementara itu, setelah penemuan klon jati unggul yang secara komersial read more
