INTRODUCTION Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. ) known as endemic Samosir island vegetation, in the form of shurbs, as the member of Rutaceae family with high economy value, anti microbial benefit, can be used as medicine and natural antioxidant (Wijaya 1. , natural preservative (Tensiska 2. , aromatic substance and appetite stimulant (Hasairin 1. Andaliman lushly grows in subtropical climate in Himalayan mountain, and spread to eastern Pakistan, northern India. Nepal. Bhutan. China. Japan. Bangladesh. Laos. Myanmar. Thailand. Vietnam. Malayan Peninsula, and North Sumatra in Indonesia (Hartley 1. Economic value potential and content of chemical compound of andaliman is one of the trigger of its high market demand. In 2015 based on BKP2 Medan around 131 987. 8 kg andaliman in the form of seeds and 1 960 kg of dried seeds being exported as domestic export commodity of North Sumatra province. High selling value of andaliman makes a lot of farmer do some cultivation ignoring the proper continuity and its habitat. People tend to recognize andaliman for its bitter and aromatic scent, but not its original vegetation. Andaliman Siahaan L. Hilwan I. Setiawan Y often being used for daily and ceremonial dishes by people around Toba Lake, and currently become the one of the identity of local people around Toba Lake, known as Batak people. The International Center for Underutilized Crops (ICUC) classifies plants based on their level of utilization in the community, among others: . Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS), namely groups with untapped plant potential, and . Underutilized Plant Species (UPS) are groups with plant potential only limited to local commodities. Andaliman belongs to the category of UPS, plants with utilization and use only by the Batak community only. Andaliman in the Encyclopedia of life is referred to as Japanese pepper with an unreviewed status, while the Indian Biodiversity Portal mentions andaliman as Indonesian lemon pepper with status accepted name (Kokilavani and Narayanan 2. , as well as in the HKH conservation portal grouping the IUCN andaliman categories as N/A and CITES Appendix as N/A. In Indonesia, andaliman does not include plant species that are protected under Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999. Although andaliman excluding rare plants, but this endemic plant is naturally difficult to germinate because the seed dormancy period varies. As a result farmers at the research location only rely on saplings that grow naturally in the forest. This becomes a critical point where andaliman in nature, if this situation continues, the longer the increasingly scarce availability of saplings andaliman. Purpose Knowledge about andaliman spatial distribution pattern and its relationship with habitat condition is one of the important steps towards planning conservation, mainly in the effort to reintroduce, restoration or recovery natural andaliman population. This idea is based on the hypothesis that natural andaliman distribution has some pattern which is related by its habitat characteristic. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to obtain latest data about distribution characteristic and habitat condition of andaliman also to develop a relationship model between spatial distribution pattern and habitat characteristic in Samosir Island. METHOD Research Location This research was done in Samosir Island (Ronggur Nihuta sub-distric. in North Sumatera Province with the area of 64,418 ha. Geographically this location defined 2A36Ao08Ay NL and 98A48Ao18Ay EL. Samosir island is under the administration of Samosir district. There are 4 locations that are used as transect lines, where each transect line has 2 Ae 4 plots. Coordinat of location 1 are X = 98. 8014 and Y = 2. 6609, location 2 are X = 9080 and Y = 2. 6506, location 3 are X = 98. 8009 and Y = 2. 6169, and location 4 are X = 98. 7959 and Y = Every andaliman found in the transect line is recorded with GPS. Data Collection For the preliminary data of the andaliman location, this study used to types of data: primary, interview with local merchants. and secondary data from literatures, which was held on September 2017 Ae March 2018. Further, transect lines were made in some locations based on those preliminary data. Transect line conducted in four different locations . along the track sized 10 m x 10 m using purposive random sampling method with determination criteria as follows: . he plot was made at the location where Andiman was found, . the plot was made in a location that was possible to be measured, . the selected plots had typical different land uses. Vegetation analysis was done by observation plot in level of understorey and seedlings, sapling level and pole level. Result from vegetation transect preserved to be herbarium and then identified in LIPI Bogor. A sampling plot with area of 10 m Es 10 m was used for poles level observation, a sampling plot with area of 5 m Es 5 m used for sapling level observation, and a sampling plot with area of 2 m Es 2 m used for understorey and seedlings level (Soerianegara and Indrawan 1.

Bare Soil Index/BSI), micro climate (Normalized Difference Moisture Index/NDMI) and rainfall Samosir island for five years . Ecological variables as predictor can be seen in Table 1. Data Analysis The spatial pattern of andaliman is known by using the Morishita index (I) which has been standardized (Jongjitvimol et al. , namely: Oc x2Oe Ocx I = n x (Oc. 2Oe Ocycu I = Morishita index n = number of sampling plots Xi = the number of individuals found in each plot. If the value of Id = 0 then the similarity of the community is low, while Id = 1 then the similarity of the community is high / equal.

Factors that take effects to andaliman distribution can be analyzed by Principle Component Analysis/PCA. Analysis was done based on points of andaliman presence and estimator variable layer such as slope. BSI. DEM, rainfall. NDVI, dan NDMI. Some steps to get PCA value was: . create each . BSI.

Habitat Suitability Model Validation Validation of the PCA model for andaliman land suitability is carried out using presence data by looking at the validation value of the model extrapolation results spatially. The validity of the model seen from the high percentage of the value of the data point of presence andaliman at high suitability for andaliman class. Model validation is useful to indicate whether the model is acceptable and can be extrapolated in other regions or not. If the validation value more than 80% of the match then the model is feasible. This tool combines all available information . ignificant environmental variable. into a map of conformity (Syartinilia and Tsuyuki 2. Jurnal Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam dan Lingkungan 9. : 861-871 AndalimanAos habitat suitability model validation is done by presence data model extrapolation, in order to measure properness of formed model, by andaliman presence percentage in each suitability class. The proportion of model from compiled data with validating data is 70%: 30%. Equation that used for model validation is: ycu Validation = x 100% ycA n = number of presence spot existed in particular suitability class N = total number of presence spot based on observation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Andaliman distribution pattern Andaliman grows in secondary forest, open field, with the temperature between 15-18 oC, in 1,300 m asl altitude (Hartley 1966. Hasairin 1994. Yonzone and Rai 2. , a slight acidic soil condition in pH between 0 Ae 4. 5 and the best soil condition for cultivation is clay sand, reddish viscuous laterite (Yonzone and Rai Based on the distribution area, as subtropical vegetation, andaliman grows in plateau. Andaliman habitat in Samosir Island mostly are available on the side of open forest in pure clay soil, dusty clay with good The result of this research shows that andaliman distribution pattern based on nearest distance between individual different for each observation location. The value of standard Morisita index (I. 00 in location 1 which is fit with random distribution pattern. In location 2 (Ip = -0. and location 3 (Ip = -0. which is fit with uniform distribution pattern, but in the location 4 (Ip = 0. fit with clump distribution. Aggregation or individual organisms grouping in between population are caused by reproduction process or social The results of this study support Hartley's . and Odum's theories . that state andaliman distribution in North Sumatera widely grouped in certain areas, but internal distribution of andaliman in Samosir island shows random, uniform and clump. Several other factors that affect the spatial pattern of plants include: . Catasthropic (Leps and Kindlmann 1. in Location 1, because they are fields that have been burned. the shade of canopy cover that is sufficiently close will affect the plants that shelter under it (Leps and Kindlmann 1. , in this case location 2 is a plantation forest with a fairly close canopy cover. location 3 is monoculture agriculture, where the dominant plant is andaliman so it has an almost uniform distance. location 4 is a plantation forest but is used as a patchy habitat area (Suzuki et al. for andaliman, and has been used for a long time . Another reason based on a review of Morista index measurements by Bleher et al. with a simulation approach states that the index measuring Morisita on squared plots smaller than 20 m, are often unable to distinguish between uniform and random patterns. This also occurs at the location of the 10 m transect, which affects different distribution patterns based on the calculation of the morisita index. Table 3 Andaliman distribution patterns in 4 locations. Location Id-1 Mu-1 Pattern of spread Random Uniform Uniform Clump Note: D = Density . nd/h. Id = Morisita dispersion index. Mc = clump index. Mu = uniform index. Ip = Standard Morisita Indeks Siahaan L. Hilwan I. Setiawan Y These statements are consistent with the different distribution pattern of andaliman in Samosir island caused by the social attraction which is economical value of andaliman is high, therefore farmers try to cultivate andaliman by moving the seedlings from its natural habitat to other places. Spatial Characteristic of Andaliman Habitat Kokutse et al. in their research states that slope will have cohesion of vegetation roots in different type of soil and young vegetation. Figure 2a shows the response of andaliman presence in the flat slopes (< 1%) until wavy slopes . Ae 15%). These kinds of slopes define small and medium slopes, medium water supply with tight standing and high cultivation production if the climate condition is good. BSI value is used to identify empty soil area and open field. Rikimaru et al. states there are interrelationship between land openness and vegetation, that more dominant the open land, the vegetation found will be lesser, or vice versa. Figure 2b shows that BSI value response of andaliman presence are between 32 Ae 1. Chances of andaliman presence tends to decrease when the open land area are larger. Therefore andaliman distributions are on the area with some open land space matching with field and bush type Altitude (DEM) of habitat is significantly effect the vegetation variety, vegetation distribution and The higher altitude in a territory, temperature will be lower vice versa. Figure 2c shows the response of andaliman presence are between altitude of 1,356 masl Ae 1,619 masl, and based on the Junghuhn climate classification, territory with that range of altitude are classified as medium or cool territorial. These are also stated by Hasairin . that andaliman will grow in the altitude above 1,300 masl, with the fertile soil condition. Vegetation variety in the territory with low rainfall is lower than in the territory with higher rainfall. Rainfall also effect soil humidity. Figure 2d shows the response of andaliman presence on rainfall varibable in range of 849 Ae 1. 605 mm/year This rainfall is classified as medium but not on the upper nor lower limit. This result are supported by RakiN et al. that states andaliman is xerophyte vegetation with the characteristic of xemorphic that is able to adapt in mild, humid and warm temperature, also it can live at the rainfall value of 1,500 Ae 2,000 mm/year. Figure 2 shows the response of andaliman presence regarding the ecology variables. NDVI is standard method used to measure vegetation green level of a territory. NDVI value near 1 shows the green canopy vegetation is very good, but NDVI value less than 0 shows that no vegetation existed in that The forestry department groups NDVI in 3 categories: . egetation 50%) with NDVI ranges 1 until 0. 31, . egetation 50 Ae 70%) with NDVI value ranges between 0. 32 until 0. egetation 70 Ae 100%) with NDVI value ranges between 0,43 Ae 1. Figure 2e shows the response of andaliman presence with the NDVI value ranges between 0. 025 Ae 0. This indicates that andaliman lives in low density level of vegetation. That value shows that andaliman is available in the closed-soil area such as settlements, paddy fields and shrubs (Febrianti and Sofan 2. NDMI is index value that shows water and air humidity around the vegetation area, the higher NDMI value then the higher humidity around the vegetation. High humidity found in the valley or territory that near the water flow or riparian. (Dermawan 2. Figure 2f shows andaliman presence in the NDMI value between 653 Ae 0. 773, and it shows that andaliman needs enough density to live. Table 4 shows ecology variable spatial character value of andaliman. Ecology often related with multivariate data, therefore PCA is often used to study ecology because it enables to reduce data for representative multivariate phenomenon (Janekovis and Novak 2. PCA analysis result of andaliman presence spot in the tested variables shows that there are simplifications of six variables resulting two components are not correlated one to another . o multicollinearit.

Andaliman Habitat Suitability The result of andaliman habitat suitability mapping shows that 2. 37% . 311 h. area of Samosir island is highly suitable habitat for andaliman. Based on the results of overlapping maps of land use and the results of PCA, the territories are used for plantation forestry. Plantation forestry are restricted government area. Figure 3 shows andaliman distribution in each of andaliman habitat suitability.

This indicates that andaliman habitats are fragmented and potentially will be threat to andaliman continuity. On the other side andaliman habitat fragmentation will be opportunity of andaliman relatively high availability and can be used as priority area to improve quality for andaliman manager for conservation, plant breeding also for andaliman regeneration. Based on model validation, moderatly suitability of category fit enough for habitat there are 25. 00% . 348 h. from total area of Samosir island. Result of interpretation of land usage, all of these territorial are dry land agricultures. With this result, this territory can be used for andaliman conservation, with consideration of altitude factor. Andaliman presence spot in this area is very few which is 2 spots . 036%) (Table . Siahaan L. Hilwan I. Setiawan Y CONCLUSION Andaliman distribution patterns based on the closest distance between individuals vary at each observation Location 1 is open land has a standard Morisita index (I. 00 which corresponds to a random distribution pattern. Location 2 is plantation forest with Ip = -0. 77 corresponding to uniform distribution pattern, and location 3 is open field has Ip value = -0. 09 which corresponds to uniform distribution pattern, while location 4 is area of plantation forest with Ip value = 0. 364 corresponding with a distribution pattern The most influential variables in the presence of andaliman are land openness factors, followed by NDMI. NDVI. DEM, rainfall and slope. Andaliman likes habitats with rare canopy cover density. Andaliman also shows good adaptability in mild, humid and warm climate, with slopes ranges from mid-flat until wavy in the altitude above 1. 300 masl. Result of andaliman habitat suitability model shows that most of area in Samosir islands . 16%) are moderatly suitable habitat for andaliman, with plantation forestry, dryland farming, and paddy fields, whereas areas with highly suitable criteria is 25% from Samosir island area. This indicates that Samosir islands are potential territory for existence and continuity for andaliman population. This prediction model of andaliman distribution can be taken into consideration in the effort of habitat management and land suitability of the andaliman population in Samosir island. The necessity test the model with high-resolution imagery, and includes point andaliman absence. REFERENCES
