INVENTARISASI KOMPOSISI JENIS DAN POTENSI TUMBUHAN BERKHASIAT OBAT DARI HUTAN RAWA DI PROVINSI KALIMANTAN SELATAN
Abstract: Swam forest is one
of the existing forest types in Indonesia have strategic and important role
because unique location, forest and peat characteristics, properties of flora
and fauna diversities, and also its function in global ekosystem. From the
mentioned swamp forest, there are some or groups of species which are producer
of medicines in fact its function have felt
by local people but not yet been known of its potency and species
composition. This research aim to know potency and species composition of medicine
vegetation and also its usefulness in South Kalimantan Province, so that
knowable circumstance of population in the] nature. The used research method is
by groupedly the type vegetation of
natural forest with remote sensing image
year of 2003 and the geographical information system (GIS), then on each
types were made the investigation lines as long as 400 until 600 m and 20 m
wides, in each line was made
investigation squares, that are 20 x 20 m for trees, 10 x 10 m for poles, 5 x 5
m for saplings and 2 x 2 for seedlings or under vegetation. To know utilization
of medicine vegetation by society, it
conducted with interview technique, where responden determination is being conducted by random with sampling
intensity of 10 %. There are some kinds that could be concluded from this
research, that are: (1) Species composition found in area of swamp forest type
are amount of a few relatively, for important compiler in the swamp forest type
wich its situation in hinterland is galam species (melaleuca cajuputi) with
potency of all young storey level are 359,875 trees/ha, swamp bush type is
7.3003,25 trees/ha; (2) For the swamp forest laid at close to coast, mangrove
is the main compiler species with potency 40,83 trees/ha. For mixture forest
type of mangrove/ buta-buta, the main compiler species is buta-buta with
potency 62,5 trees/ha, then catch up of mangrove 17,5 trees/ha. Other species
found are mangrove, rambai bogam, rambai warik and buta-buta. But these species
are not medicinize; (3) The natural swamp land
both of situated in hinterland and closed to coast concluded impecunious
species induce at amount of medicinize species in Suth Klimantan its amount a
few relatively, that is only 8 types (Benalu, ribu-ribu , kakawatan, pelepotan,
luntas, piyai, waru and galam); (4).
Galam species is very extraordinary potency in hinterland swamp forest
and not yet been exploited as raw material of oil, and there is only limited
for fire wood and building
