KONDISI VEGETASI DI HUTAN LINDUNG SESAOT, KABUPATEN LOMBOK BARAT, NUSA TENGGARA BARAT, SEBAGAI INFORMASI DASAR PENGELOLAAN KAWASAN
Abstrak: The Research has been
conducted in buffer zone, Sesaot Protected Forest. The aim of research is to
provide information about the condition of the vegetation that covers the
diversity, structure, and composition. This information is important for forest
managers to maintain and even improve the composition of plant species as
natural forest vegetation.Therefore, studies of forest vegetation have been
conducted in two blocks (Waode and Pengkoak) using stratified sampling plots.
The results indicate that the minimum curve area were found in plots of (40 x
40 m) developed in two different blocks of observations with each diversity
index was 1.23 (in waode) and 1.14 (in Pengkoak). Vegetation structure in the
block Waode was fairly well possessing an L-type structure, while for the block
Pengkoak was somewhat less well with a U-shaped like structure. Twenty-nine
plant species in Waode and 26 species on the Pengkoak were recorded with a
similarity index (IS) of 0.47. The similarity index indicates that the two
blocks are quite different in species composition. In the block Waode,
Saurauria pendula is a dominant tree with an IVI of 107.79 followed by
Debregeasia dichotoma (IVI 95.55). In contrast, in the block Pengkoak, D.
dichotoma has the highest IVI, followed by Laportea decumana.
