Abstract:
The family of Myristicaceae is a lowland tropical forest vegetation that has a beneficial value. However, in line with the land conversion that is currently occuring, information about the characteristics of growing sites of this type of becomes important. The technique used in this study was a continuous strip sampling method for vegetation analysis at the sapling and seedling levels using the line plot systematic sampling method with nesting plots at an area of 50 Ha in the Momiwaren protected forest, as well as describing the ecophysiographic characteristics of the growing sites of Myristicaceae. The results showed that there were five types of Myristica, namely M. Argentea Warb, M. Fatua subsp fatua, M. tubiflora. Bl, M. pseudoargentea and M. gigantea King with the highest INV level in the tree phase for the M. Fatua subsp fatua species. This species has been included in the IUCN list. Myristicaceae live in clusters were found in flat and sloping areas, in the soil type of Inceptisol which had been formed from ultra wet metamorphic rocks, with temperatures between 100C and 380C.
