| 总结: | This study focused on the diversity of plants belonging to Nepenthaceae, Orchidaceae and
Zingiberaceae occurring within the Belumut Forest-Eco Park, Mo’akil Permanent Reserve
Forest and Soga-Perdana Permanent Reserve Forest. These three forest areas each have
patches with varying degree of disturbance categorized as undisturbed, disturbed and
recovered forest, respectively. The objectives of the study were, to compare the diversity
of Nepenthaceae, Orchidaceae and Zingiberaceae family in the forest of varying degree
of disturbances, to create and update a check list of plants belonging to the three study
areas, and to determine the effect of disturbances on the diversity of the three families
within the study areas. The sampling and data collection was done using line transect
method (100 metre-long and 6 metre-wide). Specimens were tagged, GPS coordinates
were taken, elevation plant description and habitat notes were documented. Belumut
Forest-Eco Park and Mo’akil Permanent Reserve Forest recorded eight species of plants
from only two families (three Orchidaceae species and five Zingiberaceae species for
Belumut F-EP and two Nepenthaceae, two Orchidaceae and four Zingiberaceae for
Mo’akil PRF). Soga-Perdana Permanent Reserve Forest recorded the lowest number of
species with six species from all three families (one Nepenthaceae, one Orchidaceae and
four Zingiberaceae species). Among the twenty species of plants recorded (three
Nepenthaceae, five Orchidaceae and 12 Zingiberaceae species), two were endemic in
Peninsular Malaysia which were Scaphochlamys johorensis collected from the Belumut
Forest-Eco Park and S. endauensis collected from Mo’akil Permanent Reserve Forest. The
Mo’akil Permanent Reserve Forest was the most diverse among the three study areas,
showing that even with a smaller forest patch size, the number of individuals per species
present will affect the diversity of an area. The Belumut Forest-Eco Park showed less
diversity than the Mo’akil Permanent Reserve Forest due to S. johorensis being more
numerous than all the other species within the study area. |
