Abstract
Ecotone is the transition area between two different communities. This area is usually characterized by higher biodiversity compared to the core area as a result of edge effects. Amphibians are fauna that sensitive to climate change because they have semipermeable skin. Changes the function of land in the area affect ecotones which have an impacts on amphibians. This study aim was to determine the diversity of amphibians in the edge areas as a result of forest fragmentation in the Situ Patengan area. Sampling was done at night by Visual Encounter Survey method at nine plot (H1 : Forest 1 ; H2 : Forest 2; H3 : Forest 3; T : Tea plantation; S : Strawberry plantation; P : Residential areea); E-HT : Forest 1 and Tea plantation Ecoton; E-HS : Forest 2 and Strawberry plantation; E-HP: Forest 3 and Residential area ecoton) with three replication. In forest ecotone with a strawberry plantation was obtained six species, meanwhile in forest ecotone with residential area was obtained one species. The results of the diversity index data analysis showed that the highest diversity index of amphibian was forest and tea plantation ecotone (1.376) and it included as the medium category. Meanwhile, the lowest diversity index of amphibian was on ecotone between forest and residential area (0) and included as the low category. As a result, edge effect had both positive and negative impact on amphibian diversity.
