“…We selected five relatively large areas (~2 km 2 ) of homogeneous agricultural land-use in verified locations-teak complex, rice-field, sugarcane, Taman Hutan Raya Forest, and bromo-savannah shrubs. The last two sites are ecologically important land-uses that are prone to drought and forest fires [54,62]. These land-uses represent typical agricultural land-use and important ecological land-use types which are beyond the coverage of the nearest weather stations.…”

The reliance on native MODIS-16 PET potential evapotranspiration (PET) in scarce-data-driven areas is growing in support among ecohydrological studies, yet information about its performance is limited or unknown as validation studies are mostly concentrated in developed countries. This study aimed to assess its performance at the monthly level using four ground measurements in a tropical watershed system with complex topography, applying a machine learning artificial neural network (ANN) to improve the estimates, and using the ANN-adjusted MODIS-16 PET to characterize the spatio-temporal patterns of PET in the Brantas watershed, as well as to understand the monthly patterns of water deficiency in areas under eight different vegetation covers. The results showed that the native MODIS-16 PET experienced overestimation with an RMSE of 37–66 mm/month and NRSME of up to 33%. The performance decreased in drier periods. The ANN-based adjustment using only one variable showed improved estimates with a reduction of RSME to only 14 mm and lower than 10% NRMSE. Sari-temporal patterns of PET in the Brantas watershed showed that the PET characteristics were not uniform. The southern part of the Brantas watershed has areas with relatively lower PET that are, thus, more prone to water deficiency. Complex topography and climate gradients within the watershed apparently became the multi-controllers of PET variations. The difference in vegetation cover also influenced the magnitudes of water deficiency.

“…BTS National Park is a popular international tourist destination in Indonesia due to its significant natural value. The park is managed for ecosystem protection and ecotourism activities [9]. The Ireng-Ireng forest is a highland tropical rainforest located in the Senduro resort on the east side of BTS national park.…”

The liverwort diversity of Java Island totaled 480 species and was mainly dominated by specimens from West Java. However, exploration of this plant group was still insufficient in East Java. Ireng-ireng forest, a tropical mountain forest located in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (BTS National Park) east Java Indonesia, is an area with a high potency of liverworts diversity. The aim of this research was to explore the liverwort diversity originating from the Ireng-ireng forest in BTS National Park. The study investigated liverworts across the elevation gradient of tropical mountain forests in the Ireng-ireng forest. A total of 24 liverwort species were identified, belonging to 18 genera and 11 families. The family with the highest number of species in the study area was Lejeuneaceae.

“…Indonesia has conservation forest areas of 26.894.122,42 hectares (ha) in 2021, and 16.094.804 ha (59,84%) of them is divided into 54 units of national parks and spread throughout Indonesia (Pamungkas and Jones 2021;KLHK 2023). Even though the conservation area has become a national park, few have suffered damage due to human activities.…”

“…This is emphasized in Act No. 11/1990 on natural resources conservation claims that the main purpose of Indonesian national parks is biodiversity conservation and sustainable development (Pamungkas and Jones 2021). Even though, since the 2003 National Parks Congress in Durban mandated the need for community involvement in national park management, the Indonesian government has begun to improve national park management patterns by prioritizing community interests through collaborative management patterns, in practice, this is not the case (Dunggio and Gunawan 2009).…”

Background: The conventional emphasis solely on protective measures in national park management has proved ineffectual in averting damage resulting from illicit human interventions. Facilitating local community access to the national parks through conservation partnerships constitutes a strategic conciliation, aimed at forestalling potential conflicts. This study seeks to ascertain if the government's proposition of conservation partnerships, serves as a conciliatory mechanism to alleviate tensions between local communities and park administrators.Methods: Data was procured through in-depth interviews and field observations conducted within the research site. The informants consisted of academicians, staff of the national park, local government, village leaders, and local communities. Field observations encompassed an immersion into the national park locale, involving the scrutiny of diverse community activities. Results: The conservation partnerships have fostered a more symbiotic rapport between national park management and local communities. The local community is now perceived as collaborative guardians of the sustainability of the national park, while park managers assume the role of facilitators and protectors of community activities within the park. The fears and illegal actions of local communities that were carried out before the partnership have been replaced with harmonious engagement and unhindered participation. Conclusion:The implementation of conservation partnerships has brought positive impacts on the livelihood of local people and also on the sustainability of the forest. Through conservation partnerships, the activity of the local community to access non-timber forest products was protected by the park office. This condition encourages the creation of harmony between local communities and the forest manager.
