As a versatile plant, the basic properties of bamboo are various, depending on species, site, and position inside the stem. This study was conducted at three sites (Buria, Morekao, Tala), on three species (Dendrocalamus asper, Schizos- tachyium brachycladum, Schyzotachium lima), and three positions of the stem (base, middle, top). Objective of the study was to measure chemical component and anatomical feature of the three species of bamboos of West Ceram’s Sub-district (Taniwel, Piru, Kairatu) and three parts of stem (base, middle, top). Factorial experiment in split plot design was applied in the study with 3 replications. Result of the study indicated that there was a significant effect of location on the lignin content, diameter of the fiber and fiber cells lumen, and proportion of parenchyma cells; species of bamboo to the length and diameter of fiber cells; and portion of stem to the extractive soluble in hot water, soluble in alcohol benzene, length and diameter of fiber cells, and diameter of fiber lumens. Extractive soluble in cold water was 3.10-3.79 %; hot water was 5.43-6.23 %; alcohol benzene was 3.37-4.10 %; alpha cellulose was 44.22-46,94 %; holocellulose was 71.97-75.57 %; lignin was 26.00-27.37 %; length of fiber cell was 3.40-3,96 mm; diameter of fiber cell was 4.34-4.91 micron; diameter of fiber cell lumens was 2.74-3.23 micron; cell wall thickness of fiber cell was0.76-0.91 micron; proportion of parenchyma cells was 51.95-56.85 %; proportion of fiber cells was 27.81-62.66 %;and proportion of pores was 12.39-14.60 %.ABSTRAKSebagai tanaman serbaguna, sifat dasar bambu bervariasi menurut jenis, tempat tumbuh dan posisi didalam batang. Penelitian dilakukan pada 3 lokasi (Buria, Morekao, Tala), terhadap 3 jenis bambu (Dendrocalamus asper, Schizos- tachyium brachycladum, Schyzotachium lima), dan 3 posisi dalam batang (pangkal, tengah dan ujung). Tujuan pene- litian adalah untuk mengukur komponen kimia dan anatomi 3 jenis bambu (Dendrocalamus asper, Schizostachyium brachycladum, Schyzotachium lima) asal 3 kecamatan Seram bagian barat (Taniwel, Piru, Kairatu), dan 3 bagian batang (pangkal, tengah dan ujung). Percobaan faktorial dalam rancangan petak terpisah digunakan dalam penelitian dengan 3 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan lokasi terhadap kadar lignin, diameter sel serat dan rongga sel serat dan proporsi sel parensim; jenis bambu terhadap panjang dan diameter sel serat; posisi dalam batang terhadap kadar ekstraktif larut air dingin, ekstraktif larut alkohol benzen, panjang dan diameter sel serat, dan diameter sel serat. Ekstraktif larut air dingin berkisar 3,10-3,79 %; larut air panas 5,43-6,23 %; larut alkohol benzen3,37-4,10 %; alfa selulosa 44,22-46,94 %; holoselulosa 71,97-75,57 %; lignin 26,00-27,37 %; panjang sel serat 3,40-3,96 mm; diameter sel serat 4,34-4,91 mikron; diameter rongga sel serat 2,74-3,23 mikron; tebal dinding sel serat0,76-0,91 mikron proporsi sel parensim 51,95-56,85 %; proporsi sel sel serat 27,81-62,66 %; dan proporsi sel pori12,39-14,60 %.

Salah satu hasil hutan non kayu adalah serangga berguna lebah madu diantaranya Lebah Trigona sp. Trigona sp. dikategorikan sebagai kelompok serangga sosial yang memiliki banyak manfaat, dan berkhasiat untuk kesehatan. Sarang lebah Trigona sp di Desa Suli sangat banyak ditemukan pada lubang-lubang goa, kusen-kusen pintu atau jendela milik masyarakat, sehingga untuk memanen madu atau propolis dari lebah Trigona sp, membutuhkan anggaran yang besar karena kusen pintu atau jendela harus dibongkar. Pengabdian ini dilakukan di desa Suli, berupa penyuluhan tentang beternak lebah tanpa sengat (Trigona sp) di dalam sarang ruas bamboo, dengan tujuan untuk menambah wawasan dan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang teknik budidaya lebah Trigon sp menggunakan sarang bambu sebagai tempat berkembang biak atau media yang mudah didapat dengan biaya yang murah. Teknik budidaya lebah Trigona sp di dalam bambu dimulai dari pembuatan rumah lebah dari bambu, menggergaji bambu dan membuat cincin, memindahkan lebah Trigona sp ke dalam bambu, kemudian bambu ditutup dengan selotip dan bambu siap diletakkan pada tempat yang sudah ditentukan atau disekitar tempat tinggal. Produk yang dihasilkan masih berupa produk mentah, sebab madu, propolis dan roti lebah masih bercampur. Agar siap dipasarkan, maka ketiganya harus dipisahkan.

Objective of the study was to measure effect of bamboo species and the types of particles to the physical properties of cement board. Type of wood particles used in cement board were sawdust, flake, and mixture of  flake and sawdust. Factorial experiment in randomized complete design was applied in the study with two factors such as species of bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper, Backe), (Gigantochloa atter (Hask) Kurz ex Munro) and (Bambussa vertilatta), and type of  wood particles (sawdust, flake, and mixture of flake and sawdust). Result of the study indicated that types of wood particles was highly significant effect to the cement board such as density of board in oven dry condition and air dry condition. Combination of  species of  bamboo and types of wood particles was significant effect to the thickness swelling of the board. Species of bamboo was not significant effect to physical properties of the board.

Objective of the study was to determine shrinkage of  three species of rattan,  such as Tohiti (Calamus inops Becc),  Batang  Air (Daemonorops robustus Warb), Manau (Calamus manan Miq).  Two  factors was applied in the study was growing site (<100m, 100-200m, >200m) and species of  rattan.  Result of the study  indicated that  species of  rattan  was  affected  the  shrinkage from green to  air dry condition. Growing site was affected  the  shrinkage green to oven dry condition. Shrinkage from green to air dry condition was  1.25% -7.43% and  shrinkage  from air dry to oven dry condition was 0.37 % - 1.81 %.
