Abstract Mount Ciremai National Park forest that area had been encroached. Because of that condition, stand structure especially the species composition and vegetation structure need to be researched. The aim of this research was to identify plant species and analyze forest vegetation structure. This research was conducted between March–April 2018 in the 15.500 ha area with 0.02% sampling intensity. Data was collected using grid line method that consisted of 34 sample plots with the 10 m distance between the plots and 20 m between the lines. The numbers of identified plant species at the research location were 43 species, classified by 10 families and 24 genera. Cinnamomum sintoc has a high level of dominance species. The forest vegetation was consisting by the different growth phases. The tree phase has the highest density of 3672 species/ha, while the seedling phase was lowest density of 1060 species/ha. The forest crown stratification were consisting of A, B, C, D and E stratum. The highest number of plants were from C strata for 4651 trees and the least from A strata with 25 trees with the highest tree was 42 m. Could be concluded that the composition of Mount Ciremai National Park forest have so many number of species and complex structure vegetation forest.

The relationships between stand structure and floristic composition were examined from data collected from 100 quadrats on two soil types: Hawkesbury sandstone and Narrabeen group soils, occurring within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, New South Wales. Floristic composition was determined using the frequency of species occurring within nine concentric sub-quadrats of total area 500 m2. Stand structure was determined by a multivariate classification scheme utilising the foliage projective cover of eight strata within each quadrat. The patterns in floristic composition and stand structure were examined through multivariate analyses. Procrustes analysis of non-metric multidimensional scaling ordinations of both the stand structure and composition data showed floristic composition gradients to be well recovered by the structure data. Similar gradients were evident in both vegetation attributes, between and within the two soil types, with the rank order of community types across the ordinations being the same. However, some important differences were evident between the ordinations of floristic composition and stand structure between and within soil types. A number of floristically dissimilar communities exhibited very similar multivariate structural characteristics. In particular, two floristically distinct communities on different soil types were indistinguishable in terms of their structural characteristics. The multivariate analyses suggest a possible convergence of some compositionally distinct communities towards a common structural formation.

National Park Management Unit (SPTN) Region III Kuala Penet Resort Margahayu is part ofthe National Park Way Kambas (TNWK). SPTN Region III Kuala Penet as the buffer areaTNWK are maintained to keep a diversity of plants is very high in the composition of thestructure and composition of a certain type. This study aims to determine the speciescomposition, stand structure and condition of natural regeneration as a performancesnapshot succession of stands in Region III SPTN Kuala Penet. The study was conducted from August to September 2015 with the activities of the vegetation analysis using samplingmethods terraced lines as a way to obtain primary data, such as: the species stands, thenumber of species, stem diameter and a height of trees. The results showed that there are 32species in the region Region III SPTN Kuala Penet Resort Margahayu. Importance ValueIndex (IVI), shows that there are plant species that is most dominant, berasan, kopen, sempu,sonokeling and tiga urat, whereas the type belimbingan, bungur, keteja, keruing mahoni,tutup, and waru have low mastery level. Horizontal stand structure indicate that in generalstands dominated by plants with a diameter <10 cm and adiameter decreases to stand 10-<20cm to>60 cm. While the vertical stand structure indicate that the stratum C stands weredominated by as many as 28 species, followed by stratum D (22) types, stratum E (18) types,and the stratum B one types. The condition of Natural regeneration in SPTN Region IIIKuala Penet Resort Margahayu showed that the condition of the forest was normal becausethe density was dominated by the seedling phase, followed by phases of saplings and poleswith the curves shape resembles the letter "J" reversed.Keywords: Assisted Natural Regeneration, Composition Type, SPTN, Stand Structure,TNWK

National parks are forest ecosystems that contain biotic and abiotic resources. Biodiversity is the data and information necessary to understand the degree of loss of species diversity and formulate a sustainable alternative of decline in these resources. The research objective is to study the reciprocal relationship between elevation and habitat of a species in an ecosystem. Research conducted at the National Park (TN) Meru Betiri. The results show that there are spatial variabilities of the species diversity based on the elevation in the study area. Elevation is inversely proportional to species diversity index, the higher the elevation, the species diversity index tends to decline, but the index of the importance of endemic species have increased. Group stand structure and species composition is influenced by the level of elevation with their own environment.
