Abstract

The forest area in Titehena Sub-district that is highly protected is the Ilemuda Protected Forest.Ilemuda Protected Forest is one of the protected forest areas that has a high potential of forestresources that need to be preserved. However, currently there are development activities thathave converted most of the forest area into agricultural land and plantations, thus affecting thediversity of vegetation types. This study aims to determine the diversity of vegetation types andregeneration status in the Waibura catchment area of Kobasoma Village, Lewotobi Ilemudaprotected forest area RTK. 106 Titehena sub-district, East Flores Regency. The vegetation typesof the Waibura catchment area of the Ilemuda Protected Forest area found 49 types ofvegetation. At the tree level, the dominating vegetation type is walnut with an INP value of22.36%, the dominating vegetation pole level is Tilo with an INP of 22.13%, the dominatingvegetation stake level is Tilo with an INP of 17.00%, the dominating vegetation seedling level isIpek with is 15.93%.The highest level of species diversity (H') at the tree level is 3.56%,followed by the pole level 3.45%, then the stake level 3.37%, and the lowest is obtained at theseedling level 3.32%. The regeneration status of vegetation in the Waibura spring catchmentarea of the Ilemuda protected forest varies. The Gari, Kajobunga, Tap, Kubak and Olakvegetation types have a "good" regeneration status. Perek vegetation type is in "fair"regeneration status. Baka, Bilo, Boja, Danga, Darat, Eheng, Foang, Halabait, Ipek, Kajuk,Kayorie, Kebahi, Kebo, Kenuna, Kukung, Kung, Lamatoro, Lekar, Maku, Nahak, Sureng, Pahi,Pao, Tebuk, Tilo, and Wu'a vegetation types are categorized as "poor" regeneration status. Thevegetation types Cocoa, Caladium, Coffee, Kue, Paku, Ti'e, Tobi and Waher are included in theregeneration status of "new". The vegetation types Bamboo thorn, Bao, Bidara, Kapo, Walnut,Nuting, Palawan tree, and Tapo are included in the regeneration status of none.
