CRC 990 Ecological and Socioeconomic Functions of Tropical Lowland Rainforest Transformation Systems (Sumatra, Indonesia) Issue 1 / August 2013 page 28 von 32 importance of hydraulic conductivity for tree growth performance. We conclude that (i) growth performance is strongly dependant on hydraulic conductivity; (ii) xylem anatomical patterns reflect species biogeographical origin and seem not to be modified due to habitat adaptation. Keywords: Tropical agroforestry, Theobroma cacao, shade trees, hydraulic conductivity, wood density, stem increment, perhumid climate, vessel diameter B06 Title: Vascular epiphyte diversity in different transformation systems in Sumatra, Indonesia PRESENTER: Katja Rembold The worldwide loss and degradation of tropical rainforests caused by deforestation and transformation into agricultural land also affects epiphyte communities. Due to their arboreal habitat, epiphytes are very sensitive towards changes in microclimatic conditions, making them an excellent model group to study the consequences of land cover change. Therefore, we investigated the consequences of transformation from lowland rainforest into monocultures for vascular epiphyte diversity in Jambi Province (Sumatra, Indonesia). In total 90 study plots (20 x 20 m) were established in Bukit Duabelas National Park and surrounding oil palm and rubber plantations (30 plots per transformation system). Each plot contained one main phorophyte which was investigated for vascular epiphytes. Additionally all vascular epiphytes growing within a 2m zone above the base of each tree within the plot were recorded. We found a total of 54 epiphyte species belonging to 18 different families. While oil palm plantations contain the highest number of individuals (1806 individuals, 80%), forest plots had a much higher species diversity (45 species, 83%) compared to oil palm and rubber plantations. Further, epiphyte communities in plantations showed higher rates of generalists while forest epiphyte communities are rather composed by specialists. Thus, even if epiphytes are very abundant in oil palm plantations, forest transformation clearly causes a loss of epiphyte diversity. Z02 Title: DNA barcoding of vascular plants in Jambi, Indonesia PRESENTER: Fitri Yola DNA barcoding aims at providing a fast, accurate, and easily accessible species identification system. The use of DNA barcoding is of particular relevance for the identification of plants in highly diverse but endangered tropical systems such as in the forests of Indonesia which are facing great threats. This research is taking place in Jambi Province (Sumatra, Indonesia), where most of the original forest cover has been converted into oil palm and rubber plantations. We aim to sequence the DNA barcodes of vascular plant species in logged-over old growth forest and three different transformation systems (jungle rubber, rubber and oil palm plantations) and then combine it with classic morphological species identification to establish a barcoding system for vascular plants in the region and to make the data available for the scientific community via DNA barcoding databases. Together with specimen data and high quality photographs of fresh and dried plant material this information should speed up plant research in tropical transformation systems.
