VEGETATION COMPOSITION OF CILAJA RIVER BASIN BASED ON LAND USE

Abstract

Vegetation in a river border can be used as an indicators of ecosystem quality. Our study determine vegetation composition of Cilaja river basin based on different land utilization. This research was conducted at coffee plantation location, rice field and settlement using Quadrant Method with determination of sampling plot in Stratified Random Sampling. Bound vegetation of Cilaja watershed at coffee plantation area is dominated by Ageratina riparia (IVI=36.94), Coffea arabica, (IVI=22.33) and Alternanthera sp. (IVI=20,71). In the rice field location is dominated by Calliandra calothyrsus (IVI=32,75), Tithonia diversifolia (IVI=15,91) and Synedrela nodiflora (IVI=15,79). The location of the settlement is dominated by Syngonium sp. (IVI=19,57), Musa paradisiaca (IVI=15,13) and Hyptis capitata (IVI=12,32).
