MODEL ARSITEKTUR POHON ARBORETUM UNIVERSITAS LANCANG KUNING SEBAGAI PENUNJANG PEMBELAJARAN

Arboretum is an example of forest which is a collection of trees which is a form of
conservation of human-made germplasm. Arboretum with various vegetation
containing scientific values can be used as an open laboratory for student education
and research facilities. The pattern of branching plants will form a form of plant
architecture. The branching architecture is a morphological representation of a
particular phase of a series of tree growth series, real and observable at all times.
This research was conducted by conducting a survey (survey) and direct observation
of the model of bamboo branching architecture in plants located in the research
location. Identification of tree architecture model using book by F. Halle &
R.A.A.Oldeman, namely: An Essay On The Architecture and Dynamics of Growth of
Tropical Trees. Each tree is observed and photographed, as research
documentation. Analysis conducted in this research is descriptive analysis to the type
and shape of architectural architecture of Arboretum University of Lancang Kuning.
Based on the results of research that has been done, can be drawn conclusion as
follows: obtained 10 shapes / models of tree architecture of 41 species of trees
(diamater ≥ 20 cm). Architectural tree form / model in Arboretum ie Aubreville,
Champagnat, Koriba, Leeuwenberg, Massart, Prevost, Rauh, Roux, Scarrone and
Troll. The results of such research will contribute to the concept of development of
the learning process. The results of this study can be used by students in the Forest
Hydrology practice, Watershed Management, Urban Forest Science, Dendrology and
Climatology.
