The importance value index and diversity are important indicators to determine the dynamics and stability of the vegetation community. The objectives of the study were (1) to determine the importance value index of seedlings, saplings, poles and trees composing the Bruno Forest community in SUBKPH Lumajang (2) to know the diversity of seedlings, saplings, poles and trees composing the Bruno Forest community in SUBKPH Lumajang. The research was conducted in the Bruno Forest Area, SUBKPH Lumajang, East Java. The plot method was used in this study with nested plots measuring 2x2m2 for seedlings, 5x5m2 for saplings, 10x10m2 for poles, and 20x20m2 for trees. The number of samples was 30 plots placed systematically, with a distance between plots of 20m. The conclusions of this study are (1) the forest vegetation community of Bruno Forest area is composed of 9 species belonging to 6 families, at tree level dominated by Pinus merkusii, at pole level by Swietenia macrophylla species, saplings and seedling level dominated by Calliandra surinamensis (2) Diversity at tree and pole level was categorized as high while at sapling and seedling level was categorized as moderate. The species evenness index at the tree, pole and saplling level was categorized as high, while at the seedling level it was categorized as medium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
