Popis: Diversity of vegetation in three cover types of forest, Mappi, Papua. Mappi District, located in southern part of Papua, is one area that has a unique forest area especially in biodiversity species of flora. The aim of this study is to know tha types of vegetation and their potential. Observations were made using 9 plots, 20 × 20 m2 in size of each plot; as tree (DBH [Diameter at Breast Height] > 20 cm), 10 x 10 m2 in size; as pole (10 < DBH 2; as sapling (DBH 2; as seedling. All vegetation in the plot are inventoried according to their growth rate. The location of the observation is based on land covers, namely swamp, secondary dryland and primary dryland forests. The results showed that the ecosystem in the swamp forest is located on the banks of the river with vegetation cover varying up to the mainland, such as Pandanus tectorius, Stenoclaena palustris, Cerbera manghas, where the species S. palustris is the species that mostly covers the forest floor. In the secondary forest, the vegetation types were consisted of Tristaniopsis ferruginea, Canarium denticulatum, Rhodamnia cinerea, Aporosa sp. and Palaquium sp. While in the primary dryland forests had stands of several species with high canopy and the forest floor covered by thin litter as lowland forest ecosystems, such as Santiria apiculata, S. laevigata, Cryptocarya crassinervia, Fagraea racemosa, Gonystylus macrophyllus, Vatica rassak and Prunus arborea.
