Abstract:
Study on the population patterns and spatial distribution of Belian Melagangay (Potoxylon melagangay) was conducted at Ly Camp 5, Mulu National Park, Miri, Sarawak. A plot of one ha and divided into 25 subplots of 20 m x 20 m to determine the floristic structure and composition of the virgin belian forest. A total of 469 individual trees with diameter breast height (DBH)> 5.0 cm belonged to 117 species from 35 families were recorded. P. melagangay comprised of 36 individuals/ha with 25 trees with the DBH of more than 40 cm. P. melagangay has the estimated above ground biomass of 123 ton/ha (33.2%), basal area 114537.7 m2/ha (32.3%) and leaf area index of 10257. 7 cm2/ha (27.6%). Glycosmis chlorosperma seemed to dominate this forest with the highest importance value of IV= 20.72.
