| Abstrak Biological invasion has emerged as a critical factor contributing to the decline in biodiversity and ecosystem degradation globally, with significant implications for ecology, economy, and society. This study aimed to inventory invasive alien plant species and evaluate their potential threats using the Importance Value Index (IVI). The research was conducted from August to November 2023, utilizing primary data obtained through direct inventories in the Resort Sibalaya area. The study employed plot method sampling, with 1% of the total research area sampled across 20 plots using purposive sampling. Tools and materials included Global Positioning System (GPS), digital camera, measuring tape, compass, and field guides on invasive alien plants. Data were collected through plot measurements and field plant identification, then analyzed using Microsoft Excel to calculate the Importance Value Index. Results revealed that invasive alien plant species constituted a significant portion of the inventoried plant population in Resort Sibalaya, with Vachellia nilotica and Chromolaena odorata emerging as dominant species. IVI analysis indicated that these two plants significantly influenced vegetation composition. Additionally, Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea from the Fabaceae family also exhibited considerable values in their contribution to the plant community. These findings suggest that invasive alien plants can disrupt natural habitats and threaten the existence of native plant species. |
