Struktur tegakan dan komposisi jenis hutan alam bekas tebangan di Kalimantan tengah
Stand structure and species composition are two stand characteristics that have to be assessed. Studying the stand dynamics and its characteristics is a basic prerequisite to the sustainable forest management since it is essential to know how the forest will respond to occasional disturbances or silvicultural treatments. The study mainly focuses on the logged-over natural forest based on six plots of 1 ha each, totaling 6 ha. The aim of this research is to present the main characteristics of the stand structure and species composition of the logged-over natural forest in Central Kalimantan. The average of tree density and basal area are 431 trees per ha and 21.70 m2 per ha, respectively. The dipterocarps represented about 18 percent of the total tree density and 35 percent of the stand basal area. The forest of the logged-over area is dominated by the families of Dipterocarpaceae, Myrtaceae, Lauraceae, Anacardiaceae and Myristicaceae, which comprised 56 percent of the total tree density and 72 percent of the stand basal area. The number of tree species found in six plots is 116 species comprising 33 families, where 57 species per ha in mean. The species richness of the logged-over forest is lower than that commonly found in primary forest in other parts of Kalimantan which is generally more than 150 species per ha. The variations of the species richness could be correlated with climate variation, edaphic and topography condition of the area, besides the dynamics and condition of the logged-over forest is different from that of the primary forest.
