Vegetation Analysis in Grid 11R of Detusoko Forest Reserve, Kelimutu National Park

The presence of vegetation in an area will have a positive impact on the balance of the ecosystem. However, the effect will vary depending on the structure and composition of the grows vegetation. To obtain quantitative information about the structure and composition of a plant community, vegetation analysis is carried out. The purpose of this activity is to study the composition of the plant community (vegetation) in the Grid 11R Detusoko Jungle Forest, Kelimutu National Park. The observation method used was a systematic double plot method. The results showed that the population density of all species for each vegetation level was 336 individuals/hectare; 854.84 individuals/hectare; 2,971 individuals/hectare; 21,400 individuals/ha. The dominance of all species in the area in the grid 11 R of Detusoko Jungle Forest for the tree level is 43.61 m²/hectare; and for the pole level of 18 m²/hectare. Species that can adapt well to their environment in the 11R grid area of Detusoko Jungle Forest for the levels of trees, poles, saplings, seedlings, are Eucalyptus urophylla (Ampupu) (INP = 94.62%); Calliandra ( Kaliandra ) (INP = 62.38 %) Calliandra ( Kaliandra ) (INP = 51.20 %); and Calliandra ( Kaliandra) (INP = 34.99 %). Furthermore, the vegetation associations that make up the Detusoko jungle are Eucalyptus urophylla (Ampupu), Casuarina junghuhniana (Mountain cypress), Calliandra ( Kaliandra), Melastoma malabathricum (Mboa) and Saurauia schmutzii (Singgih).
