INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
1.4 Benefits
Benefits of this practicum can be stated as follows:
1. To develop students' ability to determine the vegetation analysis
using the PCQ.
CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
Vegetation is a collection of plants, usually consisting of several types of
living together in one place. In the mechanisms of life together are close
interactions, both amongst individuals vegetation component itself and with other
organisms making a living system and growing and dynamic (Syafei, 1990)
Vegetation, soil and climate are closely linked and in every place has a
specific balance. Vegetation somewhere will vary with vegetation elsewhere
because of its different environmental factors. The forest vegetation is something
dynamic system, always evolving in accordance with the state of the habitat.
Point center quarter method is a method to use to distance many trees and
shrubs. The parameters used are the frequency, density and dominance. The
number of individuals in an area can be determined by the density and dominance.
The number of individuals in an area dpat determined by measuring the distance
of individual plants with the sampling point. Sampling point is the point in the
transect line, at that point divided by four quadrants, each of which contained
individual plants closest distance to the sampling point (Mitchell, 2007).

Analysis
Based on table above, it can be seen that that has the highest IVI is a species
Ceiba pentandra of 98.409. In the second rank, Namely Polyalthia longifolia
with IVI amounted to 81.315. In third place is the species Terminalia catappa
with an IVI of 76.077 while the last rank is a species Nephelium lappaceum
with an IVI of 44.199.
Dicussion
Based on the analyzed data above, it was known that the highest INP is
owned by Ceiba pentandra, 98,40897305. Ceiba pentandra was found in the 3rd
plot on the 4th quandrant. In this plot the abiotic of soil temperature reaches
23,5oC, fertility too little, light intensity 5, pH 7, soil moisture dry, air temperature
26oC, and air moisture 63%. These data indicates that Ceiba pentandra preferes a
mid-temperate environment, with adquate light, and neutral environment, this fact
is suitable with Browns (2012) theory. It was caused sice this cultivated widely
spread in tropical region between 16oN and 16oS can grow on variety of soils,
from sand to caly soils, slightly acidic to neutral soil, also tolerate drought and for
shorter periods temperature below zero (Joker, 2000)
