PEMANFAATAN NEMATODA TANAH GAMBUT TROPIS BAGI PENGEMBANGAN BIOLOGI DAN PENDIDIKAN BIOLOGI DI INDONESIA

Abdul Gafur

Abstract


Indonesia is the richest country in tropical peat lands. Increased population and, in turn,
increased basic needs, has led to the use and conversion of peat lands. The success and
sustainability of the exploitation requires sufficient knowledge of the properties, including
biological, of the peat soils. Among key components in soil ecosystem, nematodes have been
demonstrated useful indicator of soil condition. However, few studies have been performed on
their usefulness in tropical peat soils. In addition to the development of biology and the
contribution of biology to development, being a group with high density in species as well as
ecological diversity, nematodes provide good possibilities to be useful in biology education,
particularly as local contents in peat-land-rich areas. Uniqueness of tropical peat land
ecosystems requires that certain factors and constraints be considered in the use of nematodes of
tropical peat soils in the development of biology and biology education in Indonesia.
