摘要

The habitat structure and floristic composition examined <span style="font-family:Verdana;">for </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">this study are of great importance, providing a scientific baseline of information for developing a biodiversity database and in supporting crucial information for the management decision-making process of the buffer zones. The primary objective of this study was to examine the current status of species composition and stand structure of moist evergreen forests distributed in the TNR buffer zone. Forest inventory was conducted in the primary moist evergreen forest (~1 ha) and secondary moist evergreen forest (~1 ha). In the TNR buffer zone, 83 species belonging to 31 families in the primary moist evergreen forest and 86 species belonging to 32 families in the secondary moist evergreen forest were found. The most dominant families in the primary moist evergreen forest were Dipterocarpaceae, Sapindaceae, Meliaceae, Myrtaceae, and Myristicaceae;at species level</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">;</span><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;">this forest was composed of </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Nephelium</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <i>lappaceum</i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Myristica</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <i>malabarica</i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Nephelium</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <i>laurium</i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aglaia</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <i>andamanica</i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">, and </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Diospyros</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <i>peregrine</i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">.
