“…Our assumption is supported by the geographical location of Aceh, which is located adjacent to the Malacca Strait, which was the center of sandalwood trade from NTT to China and India in the 17th century (Blusse and Veen, 2007;Fuller et al, 2011 in the characteristics of sandalwood habitats in Aceh and NTT, including dry land dominated by grasses and shrubs with an average temperature of 24°C to 32°C. The two sites also contain low levels of organic C, N Total, and P, along with a neutral acidity level (Nurochman et al, 2018). Furthermore, Loveless (1992) and Alpert et al (1993) found that despite similar population characteristics, due to the wide geographical or spatial distance between populations, it can cause variations in genetic distance within the population.…”

“…Current information on sandalwood utilization in other areas in Indonesia are limited, especially in the western region, including Aceh. Sandalwood is known by the local community in Aceh as "Ceundana" or "Bak Cin," and the trees have been used by utilizing the logs for wardrobe or air freshener without any further processes (Nurochman et al, 2018). Aceh Statistical Agency reported that total production of sandalwood logs in Aceh was 357,124 tons from 2003 to 2015.…”

“…Aceh Statistical Agency reported that total production of sandalwood logs in Aceh was 357,124 tons from 2003 to 2015. This commercial use of sandalwood logs in Aceh makes it the only region that has sandalwood potential in Sumatera Island (Nurochman et al, 2018). Natural sandalwood populations in Aceh can be found in Aceh Besar and Pidie District.…”

“…The results on vegetation analysis of the four habitats of G. versteegii in western part of Flores Island (Tables 1-4) suggest that this species can grow in a broad range of habitats with varying vegetation compositions and floristic structures. It means that these species do not require specific association with particular vegetation, for example as in the case of Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) (Nurochman et al 2018). This is an important finding for population enhancement efforts as it implies that G. versteegii can be planted in varying vegetation conditions, whether it is cultivated in monoculture plantation system, planted along with other species in polyculture system, such as agroforestry, or even reintroduced into its natural habitat with high species richness.…”

Abstract. Yulistyarini T, Fiqa AP, Budiharta S, Rindyastuti R. 2020. Distribution of Gyrinops versteegii in varying vegetation structures, soil properties, and microclimates in western part of Flores Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1800-1808. Gyrinops versteegii is one of the agarwood-producing tropical plants that is distributed in the Lesser Sunda Islands to Sulawesi, Moluccas (Maluku), and Papua. The natural population of Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke is widely exploited, making it being listed in CITES Appendix II. Despite largely exploited, information regarding the distribution of G. versteegii to reveal the habitat characteristics of its natural population is limited. The aims of the research were (i) to investigate the habitat characteristics of the distribution of G. versteegii in term of vegetation community, as well as soil and microclimate variables in its natural habitat in western part of Flores Island, and (ii) to study the relationship between its occurrence and ecological factors. The research was conducted in one community forest and three natural forests in the districts of Manggarai and West Manggarai, Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Data on vegetation, soil properties and microclimates were collected by establishing 73 observation plots across the four studied areas. Data were analyzed to reveal vegetation composition and structure where G. versteegii occurred, the dispersion pattern, and relationship between its occurrence and ecological factors. Our study revealed that G. versteegii populations at four studied areas in Flores Island were distributed in a broad range of habitat characteristics with varying vegetation compositions and structures, canopy covers as well as soil and microclimates variables. The local/metapopulations of G. versteegii in these areas can be dispersed in clumped or uniform pattern. Nonetheless, some ecological variables might be important for the abundance of this species including soil texture, soil pH, C organic and Soil Organic Matters (SOM). The results of this study suggest a promising opportunity for the conservation efforts of G. versteegii through the possibility of planting this species in various land management including planted in monoculture system, polyculture system (e.g. home garden and agroforestry) as well as reintroduced into species-rich natural forest.

“…are documented in Africa [ 21 , 22 ], similar information is lacking for Osyris lanceolata [ 23 ]. There are peculiar ecological and genetic aspects of O. lanceolata which need to be understood and aligned with strategies for responsible management, in particular hemiparasitism, complex distribution patterns and low survival rate [ 24 , 25 ]. These broad attributes raise the following questions which require critical analysis: (i) What is the distribution, taxonomy and ethnobotany of O. lanceolata ?…”

The increasing demand for ornamental, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products is driving exploitation of plant species globally. Sub-Saharan Africa harbours unique and valuable plant resources and is now a target of plant resource depletion. African Sandalwood (Osyris lanceolata), a multi-purpose and drought-tolerant species, has seen increased exploitation for the last thirty years and is now declared endangered. Initiatives to conserve O. lanceolata are not yet successful in Africa due to poor understanding of the species. This review surveys relevant research on the ecology, taxonomy, population dynamics, genetic diversity and ethnobotany of O. lanceolata, and highlights gaps in the literature for further research. A scoping review of grey literature, scholarly papers and reports was applied with pre-determined criteria to screen relevant information. Review findings indicate O. lanceolata is a globally distributed species with no identified center of origin. In Africa, it ranges from Algeria to Ethiopia and south to South Africa; in Europe it occurs in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands; in Asia from India to China, and also on Socotra. The species has a confusing taxonomy, with unresolved issues in nomenclature, country range distribution, extensive synonymisation and variation in growth form (shrub or tree). The species population is reported to be declining in Africa, but information on population dynamics across its entire range of distribution is anecdotal. Additionally, ecological factors influencing spatial distribution and survival of the species remain unknown. A variety of uses are reported for O. lanceolata globally, including: cultural; medicinal and food; dye; perfumery; timber; ethnoveterinary and phytoremediation. Key research areas and implications for conservation of O. lanceolata in Sub-Saharan Africa are proposed.
