Forest Ecological Studies of the Montane Forest of Mt. Pangrango, West Java
Ficus lanata, Piper baccatum, RhaphidQphera pinnata, Ficus sagittata and 7-letrastigma dichelomum among the woody climbers were recorded.During the second visit in 1976, measurement of diameter increment was carried eut.In the process of measurement, we found nearly 30 fa11en andfor killed trees in the plot.But the total physiognomy had notchanged.The result ofthis measurement will be reported in a separate paper.Plot-2 (l700 m)This plot was loca…
