Tipologi Habitat dan Potensi Pemanfaatan Kantong Semar (Nepenthes aristolochioides) Di Taman Nasional Kerinci Seblat

Abstract

Nepenthes aristolochioides is an endemic species found in Indonesia. This species is located in a narrow distribution on Mount Tujuh and is in the forest area of Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS), Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province. Nepenthes aristolochioides is one of the types of pitcher plants that are endemic in Indonesia and is the Nepenthes species are scarce and highly endangered. However, studies related to environmental factors that influence its existence have not been assessed. Therefore, a prediction model for the distribution of N.aristolochioides is needed as a habitat management solution. This study aims to make a prediction map of the habitat of N.aristolochioides in Kerinci Seblat National Park. Characteristics of the environmental factors of the N.aristolochiodes habitat that play an essential role in habitat suitability are the variables BIO19 (Precipitation of Coldest Quarter), BIO1 (Annual Mean Temperature), BIO13 (Precipitation of Wettest Month), DEM (Digital Evaluation Model). Prediction of the distribution of N.aristolochiodes habitat with moderate habitat suitability of 10,523 ha, while with a high suitability level, is 4,176 ha. Habitats with a high level of conformity are spread over two main administrative areas, namely, Gunung Tujuh Sector, Gunung Kerinci Sector.
