- Abstract
Plantation openings are to blame for Indonesia’s highest rates of forest loss. The goal of this study was to use the transect approach in Simbur Naik Village, Muara Sabak Timur District, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, “Jambi Province” to determine the diversity and density of herpetofauna in a coconut plantation. Pitfall traps and glue traps were used in conjunction with the transect design method to obtain the data. The transect design comprises of 10 parts, each measuring 50 m in length and 1 m in breadth on the left and right. Five glue traps and one pitfall trap were put along each transect. The herpetofauna of Simbur Naik village’s coconut plantation typically exhibits poor environmental conditions. The findings indicate that Fejervarya limnocharis is the dominant species and that the Shannon-Wiener diversity index and species richness index of the Margalef herpetofauna in the Simbur Naik village coconut plantation are both low. The coconut plantation near Simbur Naik village has a herpetofauna density of 0.1 to 3.4 individuals per 100 m2.
