Assessment of Community Structure and Tree Diversity of Peat Swamp Forest in Resak Tambahan Forest Reserve, Rompin, Pahang

Abstract

The peat swamp forests (PSF) exhibit lower tree species diversity compared to the dryland forest type in Peninsular Malaysia, mainly due to their unique characteristics and constrained flora composition. The study aims to assess the community structure and tree diversity of the peat swamp forest in Resak Tambahan Forest Reserve. This will involve analyzing the composition and distribution of tree species, as well as their relationships with soil properties. The findings will provide valuable insights into the ecological characteristics of the forest and inform strategies for its sustainable management and conservation.
