Abstract:
Study was conducted at Bukit Bauk Forest to assess the composition and structure of
dipterocarp trees at three different elevations; lower, middle and higher (45m, 145m and 345m
a.s.l.). The objectives of this study are to determine the abundance and diversity of dipterocarp
forest at Bukit Bauk Forest and to determine the structure of the dipterocarp forest at Bukit
Bauk Forest. The 20 x 50m plot method was performed to determine the composition of
dipterocarp with parameters such as Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), height, stem structure
and canopy layer. Result showed that 45 dipterocarp species from five genera were recorded at
the study site.
