Struktur Dan Komposisi Pohon Pada Berbagai Tingkat Gangguan Hutan Di Gunung Salak, Jawa Barat

Abstract

Structure an~ oompositbn of tree play a very important role in maintaining forest ecology function. DISturbed to forest Will cause change to the structure and oompos~ion of vegetation. This research aimed to study structure and oomposition of tree in different distrubances level on the Salak Mountain Forest West Java. It was oonducted from May to August 2005. Vegetation analyses were approached by using siste~~tic plot methD<!. The results showed totally the number of tree 758 recorded from thirty six plots oonslSting of 70 speSIeS belong to 59 genera, 27 families. Species richness, species divers~, species eve~ess of tree vegetation were found to be lower in highly disturbed forest than forests ~ lower degree of d,sturbanoe. In oontrast canopy oover, plant density and bassal arel! were found to be higher in forests experienoed w~h lower disturbanoe.
