KOMPOSISI VEGETASI PAKAN JULANG SULAWESI (RYTICEROS CASSIDIX) DI KAWASAN CAGAR ALAM PANGI BINANGGA KECAMATAN PARIGI MAUTONG
ABSTRACT: Hornbill (Rhyticeros
cassidix) is Sulawesi endemic bird and fruit eater bird. The fruits that eaten

by having big beak and body. And commonly the exist bird habitats relatively
good by founding some birds species as an indicator of good forest ecosystem.
The aim of the research was to find out the Woof Vegetation of Hornbill
(Ryticeros cassidix) bird in the Natural Conservation Area in Pangi Binangga
village Parigi Mautong District Central Sulawesi that began on November up to
the month of Desember 2014. By knowing the woof vegetation and the birds
habitat, it is important to keep their preservation because the bird is
Sulawesi endemic. The result of the research that conducted in Natural
Preservation Area of Pangi Binangga found the vegetation composition of
Hornbill (Ryticeros cassidix ) bird.The analysis result of vegetation
composition by applying Importance Rate Index (IRI) when Hornbill in the
primary forest in Natural Conservation Area of
Pangi Binangga: The highest Importance Rate Index on Tree species
Level (Pometia Pinata J.R Forst) with
rate of 35.1%, onPole species level (Canarium asperum) with rate of 53.4%, on
pile species level (Pinanga sp) with
rate of 25.5% and on seeding species level (Memordica cochinchinensis) with
rate of 23.6%. By using transect path observation plot of 100 meter, it was
found some Woof Vegetations of Hornbill in the Natural Conservation Area
of Pangi Binangga, they were; Beringin
tree (Ficus benjamina) that had
rate of 18.7 %, Ebony (Diospyros celebica Bakh) that had rate of 14.8 %, Canary
nut (Canariu asperum) with rate of 6.07
% and Benunu (Ficus annulata blume) with rate of 5.50 %.
