    B. The Colupsia project

    1) Partners

    In this context of forest degradation an conversion in other land uses, the Center for

    International Research on Agronomy and Development (CIRAD), together with its partner the

    Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) are conducting a four year project called

    land cing by

    the European Commission. The project works in two regions: Kalimantan and Maluku.

    2) A study area in Maluku

    In Maluku, the pilot site is on the island of Seram. The island is part of the Wallacea

    biogeographic region and harbors a large diversity of vegetation types, from coastal mangrove

    to tropical alpine vegetation (Edwards et al. 1993, Monk et al. 1997). In the central part of the

    island lies the Manusela National Park, a conservation area created in 1997, covering an area

    of 189 000 ha which represents about 10% of the total island area. The island still largely

    plantations. Historically, Seramese people were practicing subsistence activities like hunting-

    gathering and swidden agriculture or more intensive forms of permanent agriculture on the

    coast (Ellen 1997). Like in Papua and all the Moluccas, a common characteristic of Seramese

    people is their dependency to the sago palms ( Metroxylon sagu ) that constitutes staple food.

    Sago starch is extracted both from swamp forest area and from gardens closer to settlement

    where it is planted. This habit reduces considerably the need to cut forests since highland rice

    and subsequent forest opening is not needed (Ellen 1993, 1999, Sasaoka and Laumonier

    ( Myristica fragrans ) and clove

    (Syzygium aromaticum ) occurred very early in the Moluccan history because of the European

    demand for spices since the sixteenth century (Ellen 1997). Several agricultural practices still

    occur today in Seram: swidden, slash and burn and permanent cultivation described as

    complex agroforestry systems including home gardens and mixed tree gardens (Monk et al.

    1997).

    3) Challenges

    For the collaborative land use planning process, it is important to identify and

    characterize the different land uses and understand their importance for the local

    communities. into account the perception of the local

    communities toward forested landscape and natural resources which enables a better

    understanding of local priorities, local challenges according to rural livelihoods, management

    of the forested landscape and biodiversity conservation.

    C. My study within the Colupsia project

    1) Complex agroforestry systems in Indonesia

    Definitions and examples

    Complex agroforestry systems are tree-crop based systems with a forest-like structure

    (Michon and De Foresta 1995, Torquebiau 2007). Such systems account a high number of

    component (trees, lianas, herbaceous) and present a multistoried structure close to those

    observed in primary or secondary forests (Michon and De Foresta, 1995, 1995). In Indonesia,

    Pekarangan in Java

    (Wiersum 1982, Christanty et al. 1986). Homegardens are fenced-in gardens surrounding

    individual houses, in which several fruits and others trees are planted together with vegetable

    herbs and annual crops (Kumar and Nair 2004). They are generally intensively tended.

    However most of complex agroforestry systems are smallholder mixed tree plantations or

    ged than homegardens.

    the Indonesian word for tree garden (Michon and De

    Foresta 1995), are complex mixed tree plantations with high species diversity, tree density

    and a complex vertical structure. In the literature t

    et al. -

    Ruokolainen 2003, Wiersum 2004, Belcher et al. 2005). When the term agroforest is

    similar agroforestry plots. Then, forest gardens is employed as synonym of agroforest but it

    often corresponds to tree based systems with a higher proportion of wild trees (Wiersum

    1997a, 1997b, 2004). As example we can cite the multistoried agroforestry gardens in West

    Sumatra known as characterized by a complex association of fruit trees like

    ( Durio zibethinus ), species for commercial purposes ( Myristica fragrans ,

    Cinnamomum burmani ) and others useful trees (Michon et al. 1986). In the southeast

    diversity (268 plant species) and a structure similar to secondary forest (Gouyon et al. 1993).

    In West Java, bamboo-tree gardens with high species diversity have been studied by Okubo et

    al. (2010). According to Michon and De Foresta (1995), the villages in the island of Ambon

    are surrounded by agroforests which combine nutmeg and clove trees with fruit trees andforest nut trees. On the Saparua Island, there are examples of complex agroforestry systems

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    16/74

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    17/74

    dusun et al. (2002). The major components of these agroforestry

    systems are clove, nutmeg and coconut palms ( Cocos nucifera ) with a cortege of other tree

    species. In the North of Seram (Masihulan village), complex agroforestry systems such as

    durian, coffee or cocoa ( Theobroma cacao ) gardens have been studied by Vallet (2011).

    Local management

    new agroforestry plot starts by a total removal of patch of primary or secondary forest

    (Foresta and Michon 1996, Michon and De Foresta 1997, Gouyon et al. 1993). Sometimes

    wild trees are maintained on the plot to make shade or supply woody. These mixed tree

    gardens are generally established after a phase of slash and burn agriculture based on food

    crops and thus, closely associated with sifting cultivation (De Foresta and Michon 1996,

    Michon and De Foresta 1997, Kaya et al. 2002). The management of the agroforestry systems

    by farmers presents an intermediate level of input (clearing, cutting, and planting) and is

    complemented by the utilization of natural processes to assure soil fertility, tree regeneration

    or control weeds (Michon et al. 1986, Belcher et al. 2005).

    Contribution to rural livelihoods

    The first purpose of most of mixed tree gardens is supplying cash incomes to rural

    households. In all of them, a commercially valuable main tree crop is planted to assure the

    main or only source of cash income to farmers (De Foresta and Michon 1996, Belcher et al.

    2005). In the mixed tree gardens of West Sumatra, cinnamon ( Cinnamomum burmani ),

    nutmeg and coffee are planted for commercial purpose (Michon et al. 1986). In the South-Est

    rubber latex exported from Indonesia is produced by smallholders in rubber gardens (Gouyon

    et al. 1993, Belcher et al. 2005). In bamboo-tree gardens of Java, clove and coffee assure the

    same economic function. In Maluku, nutmeg and clove also assure cash income for local

    communities (Kaya et al. 2002) like in forest gardens of Sulawesi where cocoa, vanilla(Vanilla planifolia) and nutmeg are the main cash crops. Moreover, supplementary incomes

    are generated when farmers sell fruits or other commercially valuable products (Wiersum

    1982, Gouyon et al. 1993, Murniati et al. 2001) in the local market. Finally, the tree gardens

    systems provide lots of subsistence products like firewood, house construction, fruits,

    vegetables or medicines. In bamboo tree garden of Sumatra, 8 categories of uses and 42 tree

    species have been identified which assure the daily needs of farmers (Okubo et al. 2010). In

    et al. 1986). In traditional gardens of Central Sulawesi, Brodbeck et al . (2003) have inventoried a

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    18/74

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    19/74

    total of 43 to 95 species with subsistence uses. In the traditional tree farming systems

    in West Java, tree species assure the household subsistence needs in supplying

    food, medicines, construction wood, and firewood (Manurang et al. 2004).

    Contribution in biodiversity conservation

    As multistoried tree base systems which mimic natural forests with a high species

    diversity, agroforestry systems can contribute to biodiversity conservation. First, tree gardens

    et al. 2006, Perfecto

    and Vandermeer 2008) like the indigenous fruit tree species. Secondly, tree gardens may

    Indeed, many wild spontaneous tree species are found in tree gardens and are maintained and

    managed by farmers (Michon et al. 1986, Gouyon et al. 1993, Kaya et al. 2002). Moreover,

    lots of shrub, lianas or epiphytes and herbs are found in complex tree base systems like in the

    rubber jungle of Sumatra where 268 plants species in which 91 tree, 27 shrubs, 97 lianas and

    28 epiphyte species have been inventoried (Gouyon et al. 1993, Michon and De Foresta

    1995). Then, many of these systems are viewed to be important for the conservation of wild

    fauna in supplying a diversity of habitat (Bhagwat et al. 2008 Swallow et al. 2006) and

    facilitating the movement of mammals, birds of butterflies between patches of natural forest.

    Finally, complex agroforestry systems is an opportunity to reduce the pressure on the

    protected areas in forming forested transition zone between protected forests and human

    dominated areas (Murniati et al. 2001).

    2) Aim of the study

    In this study we investigate the importance of mixed tree gardens for the Saleman

    community, a village near the Manusela National Park, on Seram Island, Maluku. The study

    is divided in three key points. The first one is understand the place occupied by the mixed tree

    gardens in the village territory. The second one consist of describing the structure and tree

    species composition of the mixed tree gardens and the third one is assess the importance of mixed tree gardens as regards to livelihoods through the inventory of useful plant species and

    products supplied by these agroforestry systems.

    Site and Methods

    A. Study area

    1) Island of Seram and the regency of Central Moluccas ( Maluku Tengah )

    Seram, the second largest island in Maluku, Eastern Indonesia (Figure 1), covers17 429 km, being about 340 km long and 60 km wide. The island is very mountainous with

    the highest peak culminating at 3027 m. The island is non-volcanic, mainly composed of

    sedimentary rocks including limestone massifs and metamorphic rocks (Payton 1993). The

    temperatures at sea level varying between 25 to 30C. The climate is less humid in the North

    coast, with a mean annual rainfall about 2 000 mm with a drier season from April to

    September (Lembaga Meteorologi dan Geofisika, 1969), whereas the south coast receives

    more than 3 000 mm, with a precipitation peak in July. The Central Maluku regency

    ) covers 11 595 km (275 097 km when including the sea

    territory) and encompasses other islands such as Ambon, Haruku, Saparua and Banda (PBS

    2009) (Figure 1). ). In 2010, the regency had a total

    population of 361 698 people, with an average density of 31 persons/km (PBS, 2012), and

    livelihoods is mainly based on agriculture and fisheries.

    2) The village of Saleman

    (-

    ) and its surrounding agroforests and forested landscape during a period of three

    months. The village is located on the north coast near the north-west edge of the Manusela

    National Park (Figure 2). The total population reaches 1666 inhabitants (BPS, 2010). At the

    et al. 1993).

    The villagers are Muslim, and the two most common occupations for livelihood are

    agriculture and fisheries. The level of education is low; few people have college diplomas or

    bachelor degrees. Historically, Saleman people belong to the Seramese Nuaulu indigenous

    bahasa Indonesia

    bahasa saleman phylum (Ellen 2006).

    The village is on the beach, and is surrounded by hilly landscape (Figure 3, 4). The

    most common vegetation types around the village are lowland and hill limestone forest,

    logged-over (depleted) lowland forest and mixed gardens (Figure 2). Mixed gardens are a

    source of conflict with the neighboring national Manusela park authorities because 600 ha

    gardens are inside the Park (Pers. com., Park authorities, 2012). In addition in 2006 a conflict

    arose between Saleman village and the neighboring village Horale: 10 000 ha of lands are

    mutually claimed between Saleman village and Horale village. In 2008, Horale village has

    even been attacked by Saleman people, many houses have been burnt.

    B. Participatory mapping and identification of local practices

    1) Participatory mapping

    At the beginning of the study a mapping exercise has been conducted following

    general principles of IFAD 2009. The mapping has been conducted with customary leaders

    adat to understand their perception of their territory and the place occupied by the gardens

    in the landscape. A base map has been previously drawn on a transparency paper,

    representing neighboring villages, roads, principal rivers and mountain peaks around the

    village (Bujang 2004). Firstly, informants were asked to give the name of the main rivers,

    mountains, and locations around the village and draw the boundaries of the village lands, the

    borders of the Manusela National Park and the eventual conflict areas. Secondly, I asked them

    to enumerate and describe the different land uses found inside the village territory and sketch

    them on the map (Martin 1995, Vogl et al. 2004). Once the generic categories of land use

    to describe each land use in order to identify the

    vegetable fruit garden et al. 2004). Finally, they have

    been asked about activities inside each land use type. This exercise was crucial to identify the

    different land use around the village, especially the mixed tree gardens for which I will

    conduct study in detail.

    2) Management of mixed tree gardens: identify local practices

    To identify the local practices of management of mixed tree gardens, 15 structured

    interviews of farmers have been conducted. A set of questions have been previously prepared,

    written that guides interviews. Questions have been asked about the attributes of the garden

    and then farmers have been asked about the management practices, from the creation of a new

    garden to the usually management practices in an old garden. Other questions address harvest,

    tree diseases or problems met by farmers (Appendix 1). All the interviews have been

    conducted in Indonesian without translator.

    C. Typology of mixed tree gardens

    1) Sampling design

    The selection of the sample sites have been based on the participatory map and

    discussions with local informants. A total of 22 gardens (approximately 28ha). All the gardens

    were located no more than 4 km from the village. In order to study the vegetation

    characteristics, small plots of 20 x 20 m has been established in each garden. Plots have been

    selected as much as possible at similar elevation, when possible on similar slopes and in area

    relatively homogeneous according to environmental conditions. The mean slope within type

    of gardens varies between 4 (6) and 16 (9). All the studied gardens are old gardens

    established more than 30 years ago. A total of 5 plots (0.2 ha) in each mixed tree garden type

    have been sampled. Plot size has been decided according to the methods and empirical

    knowledge developed previously by the Colupsia project while studying other agroforestry

    systems in other locations. A 400m plot sizes enables to visit several gardens encompassing

    all garden diversity, and assure a relative homogeneity inside each plot (slope, soil etc) and

    involve a compromise between covering a wide sample of gardens and limit the work time

    attributed for each plot.

    2) Recorded variables

    m have been

    inventoried, height estimated, vernacular names recorded and voucher specimens collected.

    The position of the tree inside the plot, the height and the crown span has been respected.

    Moreover, in each garden visited, other tree species found outside the plot have also been

    inventoried (local name and voucher specimens).

    3) Data analysis

    Structure

    nsity, the relative

    diameter classes (5-9,9cm, 10-19,9cm, 20-29,9cm etc). In order to analyze height distribution

    in each type of garden, all trees were allocated to 1 of 4 height classes (2-7m, 7,1-15m, 15,1-

    25m, >25). Then for each type of garden the number of continuous layers have been

    determined based on the observation on the field and the previously heights distribution. The

    mean heights of the continuous layers have been calculated. The total basal area G has also been calculated. Density, relative density and the total basal area have been systemically

    determined for all mixed tree gardens (25 plots) and for each type of mixed tree garden (5

    plots).

    Floristic composition

    The number of family and the species richness (S) have been determined at garden

    scale (based on all tree species inventoried in one gardens) and at plots scale (based on the

    tree species inventoried inside the plots only). The index of Margalef (D mg) was calculated

    (Magurran 2004) at plots scale. The importance value index (IVI) (Cottam and Curtis 1956)

    of each species was calculated as the sum of relative density, relative frequency and relative

    dominance. For relative dominance, we use the basal area. Based on the IVI the most

    important species have been identified for each type of garden and for all gardens. With

    regards to vertical structure for each type of garden, the dominant species of each layer have

    been identified based on their relative dominance. Then, the Simpson diversity index (1 D)

    -diversity of all gardens and of each garden

    type. We also used the index of Sorensen (Magurran 1988) of plant similarity to determine the

    -diversity among the type of gardens. All the formulas to calculate all the indexes and

    variables are summarized in the (Table 1).

    D. Ethnobotanical knowledge

    In order to determine the role of mixed tree gardens in household livelihoods,

    ethnobotanical data have been collected on the local uses of plants by the Saleman people.

    1) Interviews on local uses of tree species in mixed tree gardens

    To identify the local uses of tree, 15 structured interviews (the same farmers

    interviewed on garden management) have been conducted. During these interviews, I walk

    with the farmer through his garden, and ask the vernacular names of each tree species. After

    that, for each inventoried species, questions have been asked about the local uses following

    procedure recommended by Martin (1995) and Vogl et al. 2004 (Appendix 1). When a

    species was commercial, the selling prices and locations have been recorded. Theses

    interviews have led to identify one part of the local uses of each tree species, and one part of

    the use categories supplied by mixed tree gardens.

    2) Free listing

    Data collection

    Free listing is a structured interviewing method used in ethnographic research for

    eliciting nlan2005). The free listing consists of asking the respondents to list as many names of X as he or

    The composite salience value of one item is the sum of all Salience score of that item,then divided by the number of free lister.

    she can, where X is the cover term for a cultural domain (e.g. kind of wood for building). Free

    listing generates two type of information about a cultural domain: which items belong to it

    and how items are structured inside the list (Gravlee 1998). A total of 27 household heads

    have been asked to list all the plants they know for a set of 16 uses. For most coherent

    domains, 20 to 30 informants are usually sufficient (Weller and Romney 1988). The 27respondents have been randomly selected to ensure including inhabitants from all parts of the

    village. Finally, 15 men and 12 women have been interviewed. The uses have been previously

    free listing exercise is to identify the plants known by villagers for each use and the second

    purpose is to determine the most culturally important plants for each use. All growth forms

    and all origins (gardens and forest) have been included in the free listing exercise, in order to

    encompass all plant diversity used by communities. This method allows collecting

    supplementary data about local uses of mixed tree gardens species and identify other

    important useful species.

    Data analysis

    The two most important results from free listing is the frequency and order with which

    each item is cited across all respondents (Gravlee 1998, Quinlan 2005). According to

    cognitive anthropology, items frequently mentioned and in the top of the lists are culturally

    important. Moreover, lists are mostly featured by a core-periphery structure: a small set of

    core items are cited by most respondents, while a much larger set of peripheral items are

    mentioned a single respondent (Gravlee 1998). Another result is the differences in list length

    and content which light the intra- nlan,

    2005). First of all, to determine if there are quantitative differences between men and women

    mentioned species, mean list length of men and women for each use have been compared

    -test. Next, for each use, regarding to frequency of each species mentioned,

    the core species have been identified. The following analysis focuses only on the core species.To quantify the qualitative differences between men and women species a similarity index

    (%) has been calculated for each use (Table 1). Then, the composite salience value of each

    species for each use has been determined for men and women separately. Salience is a

    statistic accounting for rank and frequency of each item cited in the list (Smith 1993). First,

    for each use, the salience of listed species (S) has been calculated for each freelister (See an

    example from Quilan 2005 in Table 2). Then, for each use, a composite salience value of each

    species has been calculated (See an example in Table 3). For each use, and for men andwomen, bar graph has been realized, representing the species classified by descendent order

    regarding to composite salience value enabling to determined highly salient, salient, less

    salient plant species based on the observation of salience breaks (or salience threshold)

    (Quinlan 2005). The free lists have been analyzed using the software ANTHROPAC 4.0

    Analysis has been conducted based on the vernacular names of species.

    3) Plant voucher specimens

    Plant voucher specimens of each tree species inventoried in mixed tree gardens and

    each species mentioned in the free listing have been collected (leaves, fruit and flowers when

    possible) in 5 duplicates. The specimens have been conserved in newspapers soaked with

    denatured alcohol (spiritus) before drying, and brought to Bogor Herbarium for identification.

    It was not possible to collect voucher specimens of 30 species known only through their

    vernacular names (Appendix 2).

    Since the border creation, six villagers have been arrested by the national park guards and put

    in jail for a few months because they had opened new gardens inside the park. Currently, the

    customary leaders request moving the border of the park. Saleman is also at the same time in

    conflict for land dispute with the neighboring village Horale: people have abandoned their

    langsat Langsat

    they are in the conflict area (Figure 5). The size of the mixed tree gardens is usually between

    0,5 and 1,5 ha. The farmers plant trees like or maintain big wild trees to set the

    limits. A mixed tree garden is a private land, managed by a family and transmitted by

    heritage. When a new garden is created, it belongs to the person who opened the forest and

    planted trees. Like in many places in traditional rural Indonesia, planting a tree is considered

    as a way to get property rights on the land. Creating a new mixed tree garden starts by cutting

    the vegetation, then burning it (but not always). The small gardens surrounding houses are

    used as nursery in preparing seedlings (Figure 6b) to be planted inside the new plot. In the

    past, the establishment of new garden started by a period of a few months, during which taro

    (Colocasia esculenta ) or cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) were planted, and the garden was

    systematically fenced. Currently, farmers directly plant tree seedling and abandoned this

    practice (with the exception of few people). The period from opening the forest to plant the

    seedlings is of approximately 3 months. The first fruiting period varies between species

    (Appendix 3). Farmers used to work in their gardens 3 day per week and usually have several

    gardens (1 to 5).

    B. Structure and floristic composition of mixed tree gardens

    1) Structure

    Density, diameter and basal area

    A total of 609 trees has been recorded in the 1ha of mixed tree garden (25 plots). The

    highest tree density is found in the cocoa garden (170 trees/0,2ha), and the lowest in nutmeg

    varies from 19% for nutmeg gardens to 34% for coconut gardens (Table 4). Durian gardens

    have the highest total basal area (14m/0,2ha) twice bigger than coconut and nutmeg gardens

    which both have a total basal area of 6m/0,2ha. Cocoa and clove gardens both have the lower

    total basal areas (4m/0,2ha) more than 3 times lower than durian gardens.

    The mean diameters of trunks (dbh) vary from 15cm (10) for cocoa gardens to 25

    (20) for nutmeg gardens (Table 4). In cocoa, clove, coconut and durian gardens, most of individuals (From more than 50 to 80%) were in the small diameter size classes (between 5

    and 19,9cm) (Figure 9). In nutmeg gardens, more than 70% are distributed in the 3 first

    diameter classes (5 to 29,9cm). Durian gardens have more individuals in the bigger size class

    than other type of gardens (>10%), they represent indeed a considerable phytomass. Coconut

    gardens presents also a high proportion (>20%) of individuals in the diameter class 30-

    39,9cm.

    Vertical structure

    The relative distribution oh height varies between garden types (Figure 10). In cocoa,

    clove, coconut and durian gardens, most of individuals (>70%) are distributed among the

    height classes 2-7m and 7,1-15m. In nutmeg gardens, most of trees are distributed in the

    height classes 7,1-15m and 15,1-25m (>70%).

    In cocoa gardens there is only one continuous layer (2-7m) dominated by a

    discontinuous layer between 7 and 15m (Figure 11). In the continuous layer, Theobroma

    Cacao is the most abundant (83%) and the dominant species (73% of the total basal area).In

    clove gardens, 2 continuous layers (2-7m and 7,1-15m) surrounded by only a few trees >15m

    can be identified (Figure 12). Theobroma cacao mixed with Syzygium aromaticum are the

    most abundant (66%) and the dominant species (64%) of the lower layer. The second layer is

    also dominated by Syzygium aromaticum (44%). In coconut gardens, there are two lower

    layers more or less continuous (2-7m and 7,1-15m) with no clearly dominant species. The

    most abundant species of the second one is Cerbera floribunda (20%). The upper

    discontinuous layer (15,1-25m) is dominated by Cocos nucifera (Appendix 4). Then, nutmeg

    gardens are characterized by two more or less distinct medium continuous layers (Appendix

    5) in which Myristica fragrans are clearly dominant. Finally, durian gardens are the most

    complex with 4 layers more or less continuous. Durio zibethinus exclusively dominates the

    canopy layer characterized by a mean height of 37m (7m) (Figure 13). The species is also

    dominant (76,95%) in the medium layer mixed with S. aromaticum (16,07%). Theobroma

    cacao is dominant in the lower layer (82,39%) and the two species Syzygium aromaticum (47,07%) and Areca catechu . (16,95%) are dominant between 7 and 15m. The mean height of

    each layer is summarized in Table 5. The dominant and most abundant species of each layers

    are summarized in Appendix 6).

    2) Floristic composition

    Within the 22 mixed tree gardens visited (28ha), 110 tree species belonged to 41

    families have been inventoried with respectively 76 species in cocoa gardens (8ha), 41 species

    in coconut gardens (5ha), 40 species nutmeg gardens (5ha), 37 species in clove gardens (5ha)and 32 species in durian garden (5ha) (Appendix 7). With regard to the number of species

    found within families, Moraceae (8 species) and Fabaceae (8 species) are the most diverse

    tree families. They are followed by Anacardiaceae (7 species), Euphorbiaceae (6 species),

    Myrtaceae (6 species) and Verbenaceae (6 species).

    Then, within the 25 sampled plots (1ha), a total of 53 species belonged to 27 families

    with 32 species in coconut gardens, 27 in cocoa gardens, 17 in clove gardens, 14 in durian

    gardens and 10 in nutmeg gardens have been inventoried (Table 6). Based on the qualitative

    index of Sorensen, the highest floristic similarity was found between durian and clove gardens

    (0,52) as well as durian and nutmeg gardens (0,50) (Table 7). At plots scale level when all

    garden plots are analyzed together, the Margalef index is 8,11. Among each garden types, the

    richness index of Margalef varies from 2,06 (nutmeg garden) to 6,37 (coconut gardens) (Table

    6). For the 25 plots, the Simpson index is 0,87 and it varies within garden types from 0,91

    (coconut gardens) followed by durian gardens (0,84), clove garden (0,82) nutmeg garden (0,

    59) and cocoa gardens (0,54)(Table 6). Indeed, in taking in account the relative abundance of

    each species, coconut gardens stills the most diversified whereas cocoa gardens are the less

    one. Nutmeg gardens with the lower species richness have also a low Simpson index value.

    Among the 53 tree species inventoried in the 25 plots, 6 species have a major role

    according to their importance value index. Not surprisingly Durio zibethinus , Theobroma

    cacao , Myristica fragrans , Cocos nucifera , Syzygium aromaticum and Lansium domesticum

    account for 62,94% of the importance value (Figure 14). The three most important species of

    each type of gardens are summarized in the Table 8. They encompass 8 species. In each

    garden type the species which give its name to the garden have the highest IVI.

    C. Local uses of tree and other plant species

    1) Local uses of mixed tree garden species

    Among the 110 tree species inventoried in the mixed tree gardens (Appendix 7), 108

    are useful, 19 species have 1 use only, 67 species between 2 and 5 uses, 15 species between 6

    and 6 uses and just 1 species with more than 10 uses. Only 8 species are not used by the local

    population. The 8 species with no use are spontaneous and among the 102 useful species, 43

    are planted and 59 are spontaneous. The number of uses per species varies between 1 and 18

    (Appendix 7). During the interviews of farmers, 23 uses have been identified (Table 9).

    The two uses cash crops

    supply cash income. The 4 species Myristica fragrans , Syzygium aromaticum , Theobroma

    cacao and Coffea canephora are the main source of cash income of farmers in Saleman (Seethe selling prices and estimation of one year production in Appendix 8). The productions are

    Intsia bijuga is used for house

    construction, Canarium oleosum for the construction of canoe or Polyalthia lateriflora used to

    make furniture. Next, 81 species is used as firewood like clove tree or Cryptocarya densiflora .

    Regarding species used to make tools, people use 8 species for making fishing tools (e.g. sago

    palm) and 7 species for making rope (e.g. Kleinhovia hospita ). Then, 7 uses cover food

    supply: 5 staple food species, 38 fruit tree species, 8 vegetable species, 15 condiment species,

    10 species used to make drink, 2 species for making sugar ( Cocos nucifera and Arenga

    pinnata ) and 1 species for oil production have been identified. Next, 27 medicinal trees, 13

    species used as cosmetic and 10 ornamental trees have been recorded. Cocos nucifera is used

    for basketry, and Musa sp ., Arenga pinnata and Areca catechu are used during customary

    rituals. Finally, Saleman villagers use 3 species to make fence, 2 species as fertilizer and 1

    species as shade tree. Among all the mixed tree gardens species, the five one which have the

    more uses are coconut palm, sago palm, banana trees, Canarium oleosum and Areca catechu

    which count respectively 18, 8, 8, 8 and 7 uses. Generally speaking, we note that species used

    for firewood, construction and tools are mainly wild species (more than 50%), whereas

    species assuring other uses are mainly planted species (Table 9).

    2) The other plants used by communities

    During the free listing a total of 125 other species belonged to 58 families have been

    identified (Appendix 7). Among these 125 species, 43 are trees and 82 are herbaceous and

    lianas species. Regarding to tree species, 17 have been sampled in small gardens surroundinghouses and 26 in forest (secondary forest and dusun ). Concerning non tree species, 24 have

    been sampled in mixed tree gardens, 54 in small gardens surrounding houses and 14 in forest.

    Indeed we can see that mixed tree gardens can also contain herbaceous or lianas useful

    species and small gardens surrounding houses supply more useful non tree species than other

    land use type. To summarize, a total of 235 species have been inventoried including 227

    useful species.

    3) Important species for each use

    Intracultural variations

    For the 16 use studied during the free listing exercise (Table 10), the number of

    species mentioned (using vernacular names) varies between men and women. Significant

    difference has been identified for 6 uses (Appendix 9). Next, qualitative differences exist

    between species which men and women have mentioned. The number of shared species is low

    for 10 uses for which the similarity inde than 60% for 6 uses (Appendix

    10). Indeed, differences in list length and content highlight intra-cultural variations in local

    knowledge.

    From highly salient to less salient species

    Highly salient, salient and less salient items have been identified for men and women

    for each use (Appendix 11). In order to illustrate the results 3 uses have been chosen. Firstly,

    for the construction of house, the highest salient item is according to men and

    women (Figure 15a, b) with a high composite salience value. The local name

    encompass 2 species: Intsia bijuga and Pongamia pinnata

    (Vitew cofassus ( Pterocarpus indicus ) can be identified as salient

    kayu besi (Figure 15a). Indeed a threshold in the composite salience

    value is observed between the first item and the second one. Next, another salience threshold

    is distinguished between and the following item which enables to identify the

    less ( Octomeles moluccana ) and ( Durio zibethinus ).

    These species are less salient, but they have been mentioned by about a half of the

    can also be identified as salient species following the

    highly salient species (Figure 15b) . Finally kayu palaka can be

    also encompass 2 species: Palaquium obovatum

    and Palaquium obtusifolium

    item for men and women is ( Metroxylon sagu ) followed by ( Manihot esculenta

    (Colocasia ) and ( Ipomea batatas ) (Fugre 16b) and for women

    ( Musa sp .) and (Figure 16a). Thirdly, the only important species for fishing is

    with a very high composite salience value (Figure 17a, b). The local name

    refers several species belonged to the sub-family of Bambusoideae.

    The contribution of mixed tree gardens and other land uses in livelihood

    For each use, the species identified as highly salient, salient and less salient havedifferent characteristics according to growth form and origin (mixed tree gardens, small

    45/74

    gardens or forest) (Appendix 11). Indeed species used as construction wood, fishing tools,

    cosmetic, ornamentation and for making drink are tree species found in mix tree gardens apart

    from kunyit ( Curcuma domestica ). Then, species used as firewood are mainly found in mixed

    tree gardens, just two of them ( Casearia grewiaefolia ) and

    ( Mallotus peltatus ) have been sampled in forest. For cooking oil production, the only used

    species, coconut tree, is only found in mix tree gardens. On the contrary, salient species used

    as vegetable and condiment are from small gardens surrounding house. Most of them are

    herbaceous like ( Cymbopogon nardus ) or shrub like ( Capsicum annuum ,

    Capsicum frutescens ). For staple food, Metroxylon sagu is mainly from managed swamp

    forest whereas the others important species are found in small garden near houses. All fruit

    species are trees from mixed tree gardens apart from ( Papaya carica ) exclusively

    planted in small gardens. Finally, the most salient medicinal plants are both from mixed tree

    gardens and small gardens and are herbaceous or tree species.

    Discussion

    A. Mixed tree gardens: an integrated land use

    The village lands are composed by a mosaic of tree garden systems, secondary forest

    and not disturbed forests as in many rural areas in Indonesia (Michon et al. 1986, Hariyadi

    and Ticktin 2012). In the past, there were some upland padi fields (ladang ) around the village,

    like in other part of west Seram (Ellen 1993), but Saleman farmers abandoned this practice.

    The land use system is still controlled by customary law (adat). The village land is divided

    among clans and its management is regulated by customary practices which still widespread

    in Maluku (Ellen 1985).

    The two categories of gardens in Saleman are agroforestry systems. The small garden

    surrounding houses may be compared to home-gardens (Kumar and Nair 2004, Kabir and

    Webb 2009) which are common in Indonesia (Christanty et al. 1986, Kelhenbeck 2004).

    However, not all households have small gardens. Indeed this kind of land use seems to be a

    minor component of the land use system. One reason may be the lack of available area

    between houses or near the village or the soil fertility because the village is on the sandy

    beach front.

    The second type of garden is the mixed tree gardens. Their establishment consists in

    cutting a patch of forest and planting tree seedlings. The slashed plot is not systematically

    tilizer. Indeed fertility is assured by natural

    46/74

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    47/74

    nutrient cycling processes which constitute one of the characteristic of lots of complex

    agroforestry systems (Michon et al. 1986, Wiersum 2004, Belcher et al. 2005). In the past the

    practices were different: in recent decades, farmers abandoned planting food crops in the first

    phase of establishment of a new tree garden. This change is associated to the abandon of rice

    fields. One reason may be the increasing need of cash income which leads farmers to plant

    directly trees and focus their input on commercial crops. Another factor may be the easier

    1999) accompanied by the introduction of new cash crops like cocoa (Clough et al . 2009).

    These smallholders tree plantations integrated in the forested landscape around the

    village are private plots owned by farmers. In several other regions in Indonesia where lands

    are historically under customary laws and owned by clans, land tenure gradually shift from

    common property to more private property when cash crops are introduced in the tree garden

    systems (Belcher et al. 2005; Hariyadi and Tickin 2012). Then, the mixed tree gardens are a

    source of conflict with the Manusela National Park authorities. Similar conflicts between local

    populations and park authorities on the periphery of conservation areas have already been

    recorded in many areas in Indonesia (Aumeeruddy and Sansonnens 1994, Murniati et al.

    2001, Hariyadi and Tickin 2012). Before the creation of the park boundaries in 1997, 600 ha

    of mixed tree gardens were already established there. Since then, the farmers continue to

    make new gardens especially because the boundaries are not clear (old original boundaries

    with concrete post, new boundaries with wood stick only). In this context of conflict, the

    get long term use rights on a land (Michon 2003).

    B. Mixed tree gardens: complex agroforestry systems similar to natural forest

    The mixed tree gardens are multistoried with 2 to 4 layers. Like in others part of

    Indonesia, durian gardens have the most complex structure (Michon et al. 1986). The less

    complex coconut gardens are not-shaded. In Sulawesi, lots of smallholder cocoa plantations

    are also not-shaded and present a simple structure because farmers remove tree cover to

    increase production yields (Clough et al. 2009) The dominant species of the mixed tree

    gardens of Saleman, are also dominant dusun system

    Kaya et al. (2002). Indeed, similarities exist within agroforestry systems in Maluku.

    In comparing the 1ha sampled mixed tree gardens with 1ha lowland limestone forest

    in Seram (Ranlund 2011)(428) is close to the density in primary forest (438). However, the total basal area is clearly

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    48/74

  • 7/27/2019 Cosiaux.ariane.stage.M2BVT 2012

    49/74

    higher in primary forest. As regard to species richness, 95 tree species have been found in

    primary forest and 45 species in gardens (25 plots). In other study of lowland forest of Seram,

    17 to 54 species have been inventoried in 0,25ha plots (Edwards 1993). Indeed, the phytomass

    and the species richness are lower in mixed tree gardens. However, at gardens scale a total of

    110 species belonged to 42 families have been identified in the 22 gardens. These results

    highlight the effect of sampling effort on the assessment of species richness and also the

    possible impact of farmer choice and practices on the spatial distribution of species. Some

    species are always planted or grow spontaneously in border of the garden. A plot settled in the

    middle of the garden is not able to assure the sample of all species. Finally, we can suggest

    that the highest floristic similarity observed between durian and clove garden is due to the

    local agroforestry practices and farmer choices.

    C. Importance of mixed tree gardens for local population

    The mixed tree gardens, with 110 trees and 24 lianas and herbaceous useful species,

    can supply fruits, medicine, construction wood, vegetable or cash income in selling

    commercial products like lots of tree garden system in Indonesia (Michon et al. 1986,

    Brodbeck et al. 2003, Manurang et al. 2004, Okubo et al. 2010). The 3 cash species

    Theobroma cacao , Syzygium aromaticum and Myristica fragrans are the major source of

    income for Saleman farmers like Hevea brasiliensis (Gouyon et al. 1993) or Shorea javanica

    for farmers of Sumatra. Then, mixed tree gardens play a major role in the auto-subsistence of

    species), medicines (27 species) or fruits (38 species). These results confirm the key role of

    complex agroforestry systems in the auto-subsistence of rural households already identified in

    other tree based systems of Indonesia (Christanty et al. 1986, Michon et al . 1986, Gouyon et

    al. 1993, Brodbeck et al. 2003, Okubo et al. 2010).

    use type

    supply complementary products or incomes. The small gardens surrounding houses are the

    major source of vegetable, condiment and staple food. They also supply medicinal plants and

    fruits for the daily auto-consumption. The natural forest and the ma dusun

    also supply useful species and contribute to the rural livelihoods (Sunderlin et al.

    2004). The dusun dammar , another example of managed forest habitat, takes part in cash

    income supply although the market has been up and down. Indeed I confirm here that the

    mixed tree gardens are integrated in an overall land use system, complementing other landuses and complemented by other land uses (Belcher et al. 2005, Wiersum 2004).

    D. The mixed tree gardens inside the Manusela National park

    Thus, the local challenge is the reconciliation between the management of the

    conservation area with the social and economic needs of the local population. The mixed tree

    gardens currently inside the boundaries of the Manusela National Park are characterized by a

    forest like structure more or less complex and account an appreciable amount of wild tree

    species. Indeed, these gardens may be an opportunity to conserve wild tree species outside the

    natural forest and supply a diversity of habitats for the wild fauna (birds, mammals or insects)

    and other plant species. Several studies have shown the potential of agroforests to conserve

    biodiversity (Michon and De Foresta 1995, Bos et al. 2007, Beukema et al. 2007,). A solution

    to present conflicts could be the promotion of this agroforestry system as a buffer zone

    limiting further access to the park (Aumeeruddy and Sansonnens 1994, Murniati et al. 2001,),

    a transition zone between the park and the surrounding villages.

    Conclusion

    The results of this study have shown that tree gardening systems of Seram Island are

    another example of reconstructed-forest by tropical farmers. These tree gardens, characterized

    by a multistoried structure and high species richness play a key role in the economy of

    Saleman farmers. The two mains socio-economic function of mixed tree gardens consist of

    assuring cash incomes and supplying forest products essential for poor-rural communities.

    Moreover, this land use is not isolated, but integrated in a complex land use system where

    each land use assure different socio-economic functions and complement each others. Then,

    in providing diverse habitats for wild species (plant and animals), the promotion of mixed tree

    gardens as a buffer zone between the park and the surrounding villages may be a solution to

    the conflict with the Manusela National Park authorities. Moreover, it would be interesting to

    study the potential of conservation of these gardens as regards to wild fauna, or other taxa,

    and also the role of these systems according to ecosystems services. In the framework of

    Colupsia project, the present results associated with the previously studies in others villages

    around the Manusela National Park, may offer interesting propositions concerning the land

    use planning which take in account the local population priorities.
