| Keanekaragaman Jenis Mamalia Besar Berdasarkan Komposisi Vegetasi dan Ketinggian Tempat di Kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai | |
| 2007 Full Book | |
Gunung Ciremai National Park (GCNP) is one of the national park had that just been declared in 2004. This study was necessary as a base on to compile the zonation of GCNP. As a new national park, GCNP does not have complete data about biological diversity especially mammalian diversity based on composition of vegetation and altitudinal range. The research was focused on big mammals which are characterized by body weight more than 5 kilograms. The aim of this research is to identify the species of big mammals and to decide the relation between the diversity of big mammals with vegetation composition and altitudinal range at GCNP. The research was conducted at Gunung Ciremai National Park Region Kuningan, from May to July 2007. Collecting data of big mammals was done by using a method of strip transect and for data of vegetation with a method of terracing transect. Analyzing that was used are richness index, diversity index, evenness index, community similarity, and interspecific association. The inventory of vegetation, there are known 57 plant species from the family of Moraceae, Lauraceae, and Euphorbiaceae were dominant. The area of study were classified into 4 habitats: pine forest, lowland forest, mountain forest, and subalpine forest. By directly and indirectly investigation there were indicated that the pine, lowland mountain, and subalpine forest have 9 big mammalian species, and the heterogenity of value species richness, species diversity and evenness index are 1,04; 1,00 and 0,52 respectively. The lowland forest and mountain forest have the highest value of Jaccard in similar community 0,56. _Macaca fascicularis_ has the highest density with 53,61 individual/km2 and the lowest is _Panthera pardus_ 0,22 individual/km2. Big mammals more active in morning, than in the evening. According to forest stratification, the strata B (20-30 m) was dominanted primate. Interspecific association between big mammals diversity were varried 0.25-1.00, and the analyze indicated that _Sus scrofa_ was associated with _Paradoxurus hermaphroditus_ or _Prionailurus bengalensis_ and _Paradoxorus hermaphroditus_ associated with _Prionailurus bengalensis_. Big mammalian diversity correlated to density of vegetation (R2 = 0,501; y = -55,206x2 + 31,633x + 1,145; P < 0,05) and altitudinal range (R2 = 0,881; y = 2,993x3 - 18,571x2 + 32,399x - 9,550; P < 0,05). |
