Analisis Keanekaragaman Pohon Kawasan Karst Gunung Sewu Studi Kasus: Gua Tembus dan Gua Potro-Bunder Pracimantoro, Wonogiri

Abstract

One of the prominent karst areas in Indonesia is the Gunung Sewu Karst Area. The unique karst characteristics in this area support biodiversity, especially in plants. Therefore, a plant inventory was conducted in Tembus Cave and Potro-Bunder Cave in Wonogiri Regency, Central Java, to understand the dominance and adaptation of tree species. This study used primary and secondary data, with descriptive-quantitative analysis. The results recorded 14 tree species with a total of 319 individuals, spread across two locations, 99 individuals in Tembus Cave area and 220 in Potro-Bunder Cave area. The dominant vegetation in Wonogiri and Gunung Kidul karst areas is dominated by Tectona grandis, while the forest around Pacitan karst caves is dominated by Leucaena leucocephala.
