Abstract

Forest is an ecosystem unit in the form of expanses of land containing biological natural resources dominated by trees in their natural environment, which cannot be separated from one another. MPTS (Multy Purpose Tree Species) are woody plants that are multipurpose because they are beneficial from an ecological and economic perspective and produce wood and non-timber commodities. Data collection in this study was through vegetation analysis, using the grid line method with a sampling intensity of 2%. There are 8 types of MPTS diversity that grow in the Pondok Buluh KHDTK area, namely Avocado (Persea americana), Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Candlenut (Aleurites moluccanus), Petai (Parkia speciosa), Durian (Durio zibethinus), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii), Jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum), and Tamarind (Garcia atroviridis), which occupies a type A climate or is called the Tropical Rain Forest. The growth rates found at the study site were seedlings, saplings, poles, and trees. The diversity of MPTS types in KHDTK Pondok Buluh is classified as low.
