Uji Turnitin Habitat suitability modelling of Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack.) in Riam Kanan conservation forest zone using Sentinel-2 biophysical parameters

Abstract

. Pasak bumi usually grow under the tree canopies. So that the character of its habitat is assumed to be estimated using several biophysical parameters of the tree canopy around it. The purpose of this research was to model the suitability of the pasak bumi habitat in the Riam Kanan conservation forest zone, using a number of biophysical parameters extracted from Sentinel-2 MSI imagery. Those parameters are Leaf Area Index (LAI), Canopy Chlorophyll Content (CCC), Canopy Water Content (CWC), Fraction of Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR). Ground surveys were carried out to find the coordinates of pasak bumi using accidental sampling method. Pasak bumi coordinate points are overlaid with biophysical parameters. Statistical analysis was then applied to predict the range of population values from each biophysical parameter, using Confidence Interval (CI) 95%. The results of the research show that CI LAI 2.532-2.772, CI CCC 137.101158.028 gr/cm2, CI CWC 0.05-0.057 gr/m Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.

Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd 1 2 , CI FVC 0.698-0.737, and CI FAPAR 0.732-0.765. The values of these biophysical parameters directly describe the biophysical characteristics of the pasak bumi habitat in the research location. These CI values are then implemented using binary modelling to predict the habitat of pasak bumi. Based on the results of modelling, it was found that the area suitable for pasak bumi plants was an area of 1,807.91 hectares. This area has a proportion of 1.55% of the total area of the conservation zone. To improve accuracy, other biophysical parameters can be considered to be involved in modelling.
