Nilai Penting Agroforestri, Hutan Rakyat dan Lahan Pertanian dalam Konservasi Keanekaragaman Jenis Burung di Paliyan, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta
Abstract: Agroforestry is
recognized as a land use management that capable to integrate the need of local
peoples and the concern of biodiversity conservation. However, some
contradictory results of studies made the importance of agroforestry on
conservation of biodiversity questionable. To understand the role of
agroforestry in biodiversity conservation, bird community assemblages of three
land use types namely private forests, agroforestry and annual crops were
compared. Single belt point count with a radius of 50 m was used to survey
birds. In general species diversity in the study area was at a moderate level.
Statistically, bird communities between sites did not differ significantly in
term of their abundance, species composition, and diversity. It was because patch
context plays more important role than patch content. However, it was found
that in all community parameter agroforestry area has higher values than those
of crops. Consistent with the previous studies, insectivorous birds were the
most sensitive to land use changes. The conservation value of Paliyan area was
relatively low, because most of species were abundant, and no species inhabit
endangered status according to IUCN criteria. Implication of this research was
that Paliyan area need a large-compact habitat to conserve high bird diversity.
