Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine the differences of biomass in burning and non-burning sites in upland and lowland areas, to know the types of non-burning plants in burning locations, and to classify fast burning plants in burning sites. The study was done in Baluran National Park representing lowland and Ijen Crater Natural Tourism Park representing highland. The size of the plot is 1×1 m2, and the repeated measures are four replications. The conclusions are that fire in lowland savanna decreased herb biomass, Tectona grandis Linn.f forest fire slightly decreased herb biomass, and fire in highland savanna increased herb soil biomass. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
