ABSTRACT
A 1 ha permanent plot was established in Bangi Permanent Forest Reserve
for this study. A total of 1018 trees with a diameter at breast
height (DBH) of 5 cm and above were identified, marked and measured.
Their DBH ranged
from 5 to 83.6 cm, where most trees fell into the 5 to 14.9 cm DBH or Class 1 (65.71%)
and 1.57% of them fell into Class 7 with DBH over 65 cm. The five largest trees were from
the dipterocarp family. Species with the highest Relative Dominance
Value was Shorea acuminata with a
value of 10.40. The total above ground biomass was 362.13 t/ha,
which can be considered high for a twice-logged forest. The total
basal area was 314.97 m2.
The species diversity Shannon-Wiener index for this plot is H=6.99
with evenness of 0.852 and 0.85 with Brillouin’s Index. Species
with the highest frequency (68.39%) and highest Importance Value
Index (83.80%) was Antidesma cuspidatum. There were 171 species
of trees representing 113 genera and 43 families plot. Wild fruit
trees and trees with ethnobotanical potential were also identified.
The results of this study indicated that this forest has high biomass
content and high species diversity.

ABSTRAK
Suatu 1 ha plot kekal telah ditubuhkan di Hutan Simpan Kekal Bangi
untuk kajian ini. Sejumlah 1018 pokok dengan diameter pada paras
dada (DBH)
5 cm dan ke atas telah dicam, ditanda dan diukurkan. DBH mereka berjulat daripada
5 kepada 83.6 cm, dengan kebanyakan pokok berada dalam Kelas I pada
5-14.9 cm DBH
(65.71%) dan 1.57% daripadanya jatuh pada Kelas 7
dengan DBH lebih
daripada 65 cm. Lima pokok yang terbesar adalah daripada famili
dipterokarpa. Spesies yang mempunyai Nilai Kedominanan Relatif tertinggi
adalah Shorea acuminata dengan nilai 10.40. Jumlah biojisim atas tanah adalah 362.13 t/ha, yang boleh dianggap
tinggi bagi hutan yang telah dibalak dua kali. Jumlah
keluasan pangkal adalah 314.97 m2. Indeks kepelbagaian spesies Shannon-Wiener
adalah H=6.99 dengan kesamarataan 0.852 dan 0.85 Indeks Brillouin.
Spesies yang mempunyai kekerapan tertinggi (68.39%)
dan Indeks Nilai Kepentingan tertinggi (83.80%) adalah Antidesma cuspidatum. Terdapat 171 spesies pokok mewakili 113 genus dan 43 famili.
Pokok buah liar dan pokok yang mempunyai potensi
etnobotani juga telah dikenal pasti. Hasil
daripada kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa hutan ini mempunyai biojisim
dan kepelbagaian spesies yang tinggi.
Kata kunci: Biojisim; flora; kepelbagaian
spesies; komposisi spesies; taburan
