TIPE KOMUNITAS HUTAN LAHAN KERING DI HUTAN LINDUNG SENTAJO, KABUPATEN KUANTAN SINGINGI, RIAU
Sentajo Protected Forest located in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Riau Province. There is no information aboutvegetation diversity in this location. Therefore this study was conducted. This study aimed to determine the diversity ofvegetation, structure, and composition of each community in Sentajo Protected Forest. The study was conducted in AprilSeptember2016. A sampling design was determined using systematic sampling with random start. The sampling intensityused was 5%. The parameters measured in this study were the importance value index, similarity index betweencommunities, species diversity index, evenness index, dominance index, regeneration, as well as horizontal and verticalstructures. Based on the type of soil, elevation, and slope, 6 communities were grouped from the dense coverage area(forested). The results showed that the Sentajo Protected Forest had 424 flora consisted of 254 species, and 102 families.Sentajo Protected Forest had similarity index between 18 - 64%, species diversity index of 2.62 - 4.15, evenness index of0.59 - 0.86, dominance index of 0.02 - 0.08. The larger the diameter of the tree, the smaller the number of individuals.The stratification of the canopy had 5 layers of canopy. Sentajo Protected Forest regeneration was relatively good as thenumber of seedlings> saplings> mature trees.
