Zingiberaceae merupakan tumbuhan yang banyak dimanfaatkan dalam pengobatan tradisional dan semakin banyak dibudidayakan selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Tumbuhan dalam familia ini memiliki karakter morfologi yang sulit dibedakan, sehingga penting untuk melakukan pengamatan karakterisasi tumbuhan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengamati jenis-jenis tumbuhan dari familia Zingiberaceae yang mulai banyak dibudidayakan di desa Budong-Budong, Kecamatan Topoyo, Kabupaten Mamuju Tengah serta untuk mengamati variasi karakter antara spesies tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yakni dengan membandingkan karakter morfologi antara spesies dari familia Zingibercaeae yang dikoleksi dengan menggunakan metode jelajah. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua belas spesies yang tergolong dalam familia Zingibercaeae yang ditemukan di desa Budong-Budong yakni Zingiber montanum, Z. officinale, dan Z. zerumbet, Curcuma longa, C. xanthorrhiza, C. zedoaria, Alpinia purpurata, A. galanga, Etlingera elatior, Hedychium coronarium, Kaempferia galanga, dan, Cheilocostus speciosus. Kedua belas spesies tersebut memiliki beberapa persamaan dan perbedaan karakter morfologi. Persaamaan karakter antara lain dari sistem perakaran, bentuk akar, bentuk batang semu, arah tumbuh, tepi daun, serta bentuk daun. Sedangkan perbedaan karakter dapat dilihat dari permukaan batang semu, ujung daun, pangkal daun, permukaan daun, serta bentuk dan warna rimpang.Kata kunci: Morfologi, Rimpang, Zingiberaceae

Indonesia's coastal region is known for its richness and diverse natural resources. However, the region is experiencing a transformation from mangrove ecosystems to the traditional pond cultures. This was happening in West Sulawesi that could damage the ecosystem in the long term, especially for the bird community. This study aims to inventory bird species in the bird community on the coast of Tandung Village, Tinambung District, Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi Province. In addition, we also study the bird community structure, find out the correlation among the bird communities, and the environmental condition during the inventory. In this study, we used a fixed-radius point count method to record birds. Field guide titled Burung-burung Pulau Paparan Sunda dan Wallacea di Kepulauan Indonesia was used to identify the species of observed birds. The results showed that of the 27 species recorded, there are 5 species with a high relative abundance, such as Egretta garzetta, Himantopus leucocephalus, Actitis hypoleucos, Ardeola speciosa, and Calidris ruficollis. Only H. leucocephalus is identified as a protected bird by the Indonesian government, while Calidris ruficollis is protected internationally as its conservational status (Near Threatened). The diversity index is moderate level, but it is decreasing day by day of observation, followed by the dominance index, evenness, and species richness. A high correlation between the two bird communities with two adjacent days of observation indicates similarity composition of community structure with different temporal scales and similar spatial scales. The map of environmental conditions shows changing weather in the period of observation sequentially from bright sky to cloudy and heavy rain and back to the normal bright sky at the last period of observation. The response of the bird community to the condition was by flying away when the weather is cloudy and rainy so that may decrease the diversity.
