Pattern of tree diversity in lowland tropical forest in Nikiwar, West Papua, Indonesia
Trees are significant components of ecosystems built by several widespread species. For instance,
Papua forest is known to comprise abiotic and biotic elements. Also, certain plants have grown in popu-
larity to a point where they are discovered almost everywhere. The purpose of this study, therefore, was
to investigate tree diversity, distribution, and the importance of conservation. Data were collected in four
locations using a total of 24 sample plots spread across Idoor, Karst, Persemaian, and Torembi, where seven,
four, seven, and five plots were allocated, respectively. These forests formed a mixed natural plantation
comprising 76 species from 35 families. Furthermore, Idoor and Karst generated the highest species diver-
sity and varied significantly compared to Persemaian, while Torembi showed similarities with the other three
locations. This condition formed three ecosystem communities across Persemaian, Karst, Idoor, and Torembi.
Also, the composition of the dominant species showed variations at the seedling and sapling levels believed
to structure the understory, while the pole and tree levels characterized the overstory. The total species
status was described as critically endangered (CR) of two species, vulnerable (VU) of six species, least con-
cern (LC) of 28 species, and data deficient (DD) species. Therefore, location management is advised to not
only pay significant attention in terms of economic benefits but also ecological, including the provisions for
ex-situ and in-situ conservation to support sustainable forest management
