Abstract

A riparian area is basically the area of contiguous streams and waterways, a remarkable between region among aquatic and terrestrial habitats. It is known to be one of the most vital habitats in tropical forest, besides as flood mitigation. However, there is not many studies have been done in Peninsular Malaysia and there is not more information on riparian vegetation. The purpose of this study is to identify riparian vegetation species found and to enumerate the riparian vegetation species along the river site of Lata Janggut. A 1 km transect-line was setup along the river site of Lata Janggut and all vegetation within the line was enumerated. Results showed a total of 2598 individuals represented by 36 families and 54 genera was recorded. Species with highest abundance was Sphaerostephanos larutensis from Thelypteridaceae family with abundance value, 47.2. In addition, Shannon-Wiener Index value recorded from this study was 3.03 which was included in the range of diversity index. Then, the evenness index was 1.75 followed by 4.09 Hmax value respectively. This results proved the diversity of vegetation in Lata Janggut with different abundance. Moreover, results also found the true riparian species from this study only comprise of 11.67% from the total number of species in Lata Janggut respectively. Apart from that, soil samples from different points were analysed and the parameters were recorded with lower concentrations.
