Abstract
Peatlands are often associated with an area that has a specific habitat in a particular area. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and associations of the dominant biodiversity in the Mappi Regency, Papua. The research method used was a survey. The survey was conducted in Bamgi District, Mappi, Papua. The results showed that peat soils in Mappi have characteristics that are categorized as fabric-peat. Acidity or soil pH condition belongs in the low category (3.95-4.53), moderate C-organic (16.31%), high nitrogen (1.09%), moderate C/N ratio (15.01), whereas soil texture was from clay loam to sandy silt loam. This peatland is associated with various types of important tree groups flora, such as sago, agarwood, or gaharu (Aquilaria spp), massoy tree, rubber, and whitebark tree or gambir. Based on the level of importance, this peatland area contains various important plant species. Thus it needs to be conserved with appropriate area management.
