STRUKTUR DAN PROFIL VEGETASI HABITAT KUKANG KALIMANTAN (NYCTICEBUS MENAGENSIS) PELEPASLIARAN YAYASAN IAR INDONESIA DI HUTAN LINDUNG GUNUNG TARAK
ABSTRACT: The vegetation
habitat of borneo slow loris in West Kalimantan has quite high potential for
damage due to anthropogenic influences. The study aims to find out about the
composition, structure and habitat vegetation profile of borneo slow loris at
the release area of IAR Indonesia in Tarak Mountain Protection Forest. The data
were collected from March to May 2016, by making plot transect. There were two
transects consisting of three plots the size of 20 x 20m with four squared
plots. The vegetation observed were trees, poles, saplings, seedlings and floor
coverings. The data taken were the local and scientific names, number of
individuals and habitus. The analysis was conducted on the density, relative
density, frequency, relative frequency, dominance, relative dominance,
Important Value Index (IVI), Diversity Index (H’) and dominance index (C’). The
profile data taken were the position of trees, height of trees, height of first
branching, DBH, crown cover, gap and stratification. The results of research
showed that the vegetation composition comprised of 23 species of plants. The
structure of the vegetation showed the highest IVI of tree regeneration i.e.
Syzygium cuminii (117.14%) and the floor covering i.e. Piper crocatum (200%),
H’ tree regeneration from 1.47 to 2.55, and floor coverings 0.00, C’ tree
regeneration 0. 09 to 0.26 and floor coverings 1.00. The vegetation structure
is composed of five strata, there is a vertical gap (± 1 m) and a horizontal
gap (>2 m).
