Indonesia to have at least 47 types of natural ecosystem types, ranging from alpine ice in the mountains of Papua, a variety of wetland ecosystems, to the mangrove forests and peat swamps. “This type of ecosystem that dominated lowland wet tropical forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan are Dipterokarpa mixture (MDF) . This type of forest ecosystem which is the highest in the world, “said Ecology Experts from LIPI Dr. Herwint Simbolon confirmed in Jakarta.

In a study in West Kalimantan, reported 326 species of trees above the diameter of five centimeters in one hectare plot at the research that trees are at least 56-134 species attached epiphytic plants, he said.

There’s also the type of heath forest ecosystems to extreme environmental conditions with nutrient-poor soil and without the layers of topsoil and subsoil, but still have the 121-152 tree species in one hectare.

Indonesia, he said, also has a peat swamp forest in poor condition that not only nutrients, but extreme acid substrate, and thus tend to be anaerobic submerged, but still have 72-81 tree species per hectare. “This is still comparable to the mineral soil of tropical forests Wet mountains and forests of tropical wet mineral soil sub mountains in Java each have only 116 and 44 species per hectare, “he said.

Each of these ecosystem types, composition, characteristics, properties, functions and dynamics that differ from each other, he said. Indonesia, he said, had only 1.3 percent of total land area of the world, but has 17 percent of life on earth, where 11 per cent higher plants live in forests.

However, he lamented, wet tropical forests continue to experience problems such as illegal logging, forest fires, conversion to agriculture and settlements, until the drought.
