Ficus spp is a group of plants which has high diversity and generally found in lowland ecosystems. Information about ecological distribution of Ficus spp in Kuningan District was carried out through literature studies, field observations and herbarium materials. The materials and methods used in this study were the locations where of Ficus spp and herbarium grew. The purpose of this study was to determine the ekological distribution of Ficus spp. in Kuningan District. The results showed that Ficus spp found consisted of 24 species scattered in lowland forest ecosystems in the north, south, west and east of Kuningan District. The highest number of species found was in the eastern part of Kuningan District with 19 species, while the smallest number was in the western part of Kuningan District. namely 5 species. The name of Ficus spp found in all locations were Ficus ampelas Burm.f., Ficus fistulosa Reinw.ex Blume , and Ficus variegata Blume. Tree habitus is the one that dominates the distribution of Ficus spp, which is as much as 79,17% of the total species found, while the place where it grows is found at an altitude of 500 m asl -1,300 m asl. It can be conclude that Ficus spp. can grow in the lowlands, especially areas that are disturbed and the distribution of the genus is very wide.

“…Limited information and data of Ficus diversity in Bogor City resulted in a lack of attention to the presence of these figs and the function of Ficus as an environmental bioindicator and ecological balancer has not been maximised. Recent studies on the presence and ecological function of Ficus in various ecosystems in Java have been published, including studies of diversity Ficus in the mountains (Hendrayana et al 2019), Ficus at settlements around springs (Ridwan et al 2015), and Ficus in Sentul City as urban area (Mulyani et al 2021). The Bogor City, as a satellite town of the capital city, can be a liveable area with sufficient green open space and information on the diversity of Ficus in Bogor City can add a list of Ficus found on the Java, both native and introduced species.…”

Ficus (Moraceae) is a keystone resource species in the tropical region, and it contributes significantly to Bogor City's vegetation composition. Ficus spp. provide habitat for urban animals and contribute to providing environmental services for the community. Minimum data distribution and increasing land-use change possibly decrease Ficus diversity in Bogor City. This study aimed to analyse the diversity and distribution of Ficus spp. in Bogor City. The research was conducted by dividing Bogor City into 128 plots sized 1 x 1 km. Relative abundance and distribution analysis used QGIS version 3.10.2-A Coruña. A total of 37 species of Ficus spp. from six subgenera were found in Bogor. The highest distribution is mainly located around the Bogor Botanic Gardens and the Ahmad Yani City Forest in a tree and hemiepiphyte. Ficus benjamina and Ficus septica were the most common species found and spread throughout Bogor City. The significant land-use change in Bogor City has resulted in Ficus spp. generally spread in the northern and central parts. In contrast, in the southern part, they are relatively low. Some Ficus can also be bioindicators because they have growing habitats that tend to be specific and spread in certain areas. The presence of the Bogor Botanic Gardens has an important role in increasing the diversity of Ficus spp. in Bogor City.

“…They serve an essential role in ecosystems with their all year round setting of fruit providing food for a range of frugivores and seed dispersers (Shanahan et al, 2001; Walther et al, 2017). Various vertebrate species feed on their fruits, including birds (Shanahan et al, 2001; Walther et al, 2017), fruit bats (Tang, 2007; Heer et al, 2010), squirrels, civets (Lok et al, 2013) and primates (Hendrayana et al, 2019). Figs are also used as resting and nesting trees for fauna (Hendrayana et al, 2019).…”
