The aim of this study to determine the diversity of mangrove species at high intertidal
zone in Pantai Kelanang and to compare plant density within plot. The sampling plots
within size of 10 m x 10 m established to measure the species diversity by using
Shannon-Wiener Index (H’), Shannon Evenness Index (E) and Simpson’s Diversity
Index (D). One species which is Rhizophora apiculata and 86 numbers of individulas
was recorded. The diversity index gives the value of H’ is 0, E is 0 and D is 1. Diversity
of Rhizophora apiculata may affected by temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) and
light intensity. While the ranges of diameter at breast height in four plots from 3.3 to
32 cm and ranges of height from 2.0 to 14.5 m. As the conclusion, the diversity of
mangrove plant species is less diverse and the data obtained in this study is useful to
other researcher.
