“…In our study region, many species overlap in their upper or lower elevational limits at 1000 and 1100 m, which may also increase species richness here, but runs contrary to the assumptions of the mid-domain effect which is based on random species distributions (Herzog et al 2005;Kluge et al 2008). The high species richness at mid-elevation could be also related to a lower canopy height (Siebert 2005), because rattan individuals can reach higher light intensities more easily. The density of rattan palms also exhibited a humped-shaped distribution.…”

“…Rattan palms occur on most types of rock and soil within their natural distribution area (Dransfield and Manokaran 1994). In fact, differences between upper lowland and montane edaphic conditions in our study region do not appear to affect the rattan flora (Siebert 2005).…”

“…Ecological studies of rattan palms are so far limited to Thailand and West Malaysia (Bøgh 1996;Watanabe and Suzuki 2008), or have dealt with the commercially important rattan species Calamus zollingeri (Siebert 1993(Siebert , 2000(Siebert , 2004 and the sustainability of rattan harvesting in Sulawesi (Clayton et al 2002). Siebert (2005), working in southern LLNP between 830 and 1330 m elevation, found that while the density of rattan did not vary significantly with elevation, species richness of rattan was greatest between 1180 and 1280 m.…”

We studied species richness and density of rattan palms in 50 plots of 10 9 100 m 2 each between 250 m and 2420 m in eight sites in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), Central Sulawesi. Rattans were observed in all sample sites, representing three genera and 34 species. The elevational patterns for species richness and density were humped-shaped with maxima around 1000 m. Polynomial models of second order explained 59 and 32% of species richness and density with the factor elevation, respectively. A majority of rattan species (65%) overlapped between 1000 and 1100 m elevation, while a pronounced change in the rattan flora occurred above 1100 m. Commercially important rattan species (Calamus zollingeri, C. ornatus var. celebicus, Daemonorops macroptera) were not observed above 1250 m. The change of species assemblage was significantly related to elevation (56%), followed by geographical distance (47%) and precipitation (40%). Less than 10% of LLNP is lowland forests, much of which is threatened by agricultural intensification. In contrast, montane forests are well represented in the park and high elevation forests are not subject to agricultural conversion or intensive harvesting of rattan and other forest products.

“…Rattan and bamboo are used in quintessential cultural artifacts, such as the angklung, a Sundanese musical instrument consisting of suspended bamboo tubes in a bamboo frame bound by a rattan cord (the angklung is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage [17]), and arbitrary cultural artifacts such as furniture, woven rattan mats (tikar), basketry, construction elements, crafts, etc., which are more associated with cultural activities that, in turn, form the cultural schemata. Rattan and bamboo are used extensively in Indonesian cultural activities and daily life due to their abundance in Indonesia [18][19][20] and their relatively easy procurement compared with wood. Rattan in particular is a plant native to Indonesia with 70% of the world rattan consumption coming from Indonesian exports [21], while bamboo has wider distribution in Asia Pacific [10].…”

Indonesian Perceptions Toward Materials in Context of Culture

Abstract. Human attitudes, behavior and perceptions are shaped by their culture. Culture is deeply embedded in all aspects of human life, including design development. This study was conducted to discover perceptions regarding five chair materials (wood, rattan, bamboo, metal, and plastic) in a cultural context in an Indonesian student sample group. A previous study suggested that Indonesian participants have a positive attitude toward natural chair materials such as wood and rattan. The experimental results of the present follow-up study suggest that rattan is the chair material most representative of Indonesian culture. As a heterogeneous country, Indonesia has multiple ethnicities, which influences the perception of which material best represents Indonesian culture.

“…Village at Tebo district has highest wild population and Batanghari was the lowest one ( Figure 2). Variability of D. draco among sites are related to the several abiotic factors (Siebert 2005). According to the altitude, location of the site, which is in the lowland elevation (20 m above sea level) can increase rattan populations.…”

Adiwibowo A, Sulasmi IS, Nisyawati. 2012 Jambi,. Conservation of tropical trees can be achieved if supported by the sustainable use of forest by community live nearby through harvesting of non timber woods, for instance rattan. Furthermore, rattan jernang individuals and trees have significant associations. Therefore, objective of this paper is to investigate the utilization of rattan jernang (Daemonorops draco Wild) related to the forest tree biodiversity by Anak Dalam tribe in several villages in Jambi, Sumatra. The study has identified that populations of Daemonorops draco were varied among villages, ranged from 40 to 71 clumps in the forests and up to 500 clumps in plantations. Moreover, 73 individual trees consisted of 32 species were identified as rattan host and conserved by the community. Dialium platyespalyum. Quercus elmeri, and Adinandra dumosa were rattan host trees with the highest populations. Meanwhile, a biodiversity of non-host trees consisted of 30 individual trees from 16 species. Interviews revealed that traditional harvesters have acknowledged that trees have significant important ecological roles for the rattan livelihood and therefore it is very important to conserve the forests for the sustainability of harvest in the future. Furthermore, to secure the availability of rattan, the traditional harvesters had started rattan plantation. .
