Abstract:
This study was carried out in the Rhizophora-Avicennia forest type at Tok Bali,
Kelantan to determine the species abundance and to estimate the aboveground
biomass of mangrove species. About 24 of plots had been built in this area.
Classification and feature of the mangrove trees such as type of species, height, crown
form and stem category were recorded. All the data must be analyzed by using the
suitable formula and PC-ORD statistical program to get the diversity index H'. A
total of seven species of mangrove were identified such as Rhizophora apicuiata,
Avicennia alba, Ceriops decandra, Bruguiera cylindrica, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza,
Sonneratia alba and Dolichandrone spathacea. R. apiculata dominated this study area
for adult tree category and for seedling category. C. decandra dominated this study
area for sapling category.
