KARAKTERISTIK BIOFISIK HABITAT TARSIUS (Tarsius pumilus) DI GUNUNG ROREKATIMBU KAWASAN TAMAN NASIONAL LORE LINDU SULAWESI TENGAH
Abstract: Tarsius (Tarsius
pumilus) is the smallest mammals in the world and some of the species are
classified to the endemic species of Sulawesi island, Indonesia. Tarsius is a
member of tarssidae family. The aims of this study were to determine
bio-physics characteristics of tarsius habitats at the mount Rorekatimbu.
Research was performed as field research at Mount Rorekatimbu, Lore Lindu
National Park, Central Sulawesi. This research was conducted from February
through April 2014.Ninet sample plots were made by the size of 20x20 m. Ploting
was done by purposive sampling method around tarsius habitats.Hence vegetation
date were analysed to determine the density, frequency, dominant, and
Importance Value Index.The results showed that the highest importance value
index (IVI) at the tree and pole level was Castanopsis acuminatissima (Blume)
A.DC with the value 109,88% and 71,74%, respectively. At the sapling level, the
highest IVI was achieved by Pinanga cease Blume with the value 80,90%, and at
the seedling level, the highest IVI was achieved by Calamus sp with the value
36,77%. Furthermore, the abiotic condition of the habitat including;
temperature (14ºC-20ºC) and relative humidity (64%-83%) and located at
2031mtill 2084 m asl.
