Establishments of Plant Species Diversity Following 2010 Catastrophic Eruption of Mt Merapi, Java Indonesia: Implication for Conservation and Restoration.


A preliminary survey has been done since December 2011. In this early January, heavy rains occur in Jogjakarta city and had caused cold-lava and mudflow flood from the Mt. Merapi Volcano in rivers surrounding the mountain.

The survey has found a good location to establish restoration plot. A flat land on top of the Kuning River will be used. This area is still relatively remote due to the location. On its right is Adem River, and on its left is Kuning River and so human activities are minimal.
