Abstract

Indonesia has high biodiversity, including ferns approximately 2,197 species. Although ferns have great potential as ornamental plants, traditional medicine, and environmental bioindicators, their utilisation has not been optimal and well documented. This research aims to identify the diversity of Pteridophyta in the area of R. Soerjo Wonosalam Community Forest Park Indonesia and to explore the local community's wisdom in its utilisation. Data were collected through field surveys and structured interviews with 20 respondents using the purposive sampling method. Analysis was conducted using the Use Value (UV) and Relative Frequency of Citation methods (RFC). The research identified 14 species from 2 main classes (Equisetopsida and Lycopodiopsida), with the Polypodiaceae family as the dominant group. The species- E. ramosissimum and P. bifurcatum have the highest UV and RFC values (0.15), indicating their extensive use as ornamental plants, air filters, and traditional medicine. In contrast, species such as N. radicans, Adiantum sp., and L. zippelii show low UV and RFC values (0.05), reflecting their limited popularity and utilisation despite still being used as ornamental plants. This study highlights the importance of fern in the local ecosystem and how they can be used to support sustainable management based on local wisdom. It is hoped that this information will contribute to the preservation, more efficient utilisation, and increased public awareness of the ecological and economic benefits of ferns.
