Site Description
|
|
| |
This area has a complete range of lowland to montane habitats: It includes 7000 ha of mangrove forest, 20,000 ha of freshwater swamp forest, 30,000 ha of peatswamp forest, 5000 ha of alluvial lowland forest, 62,000 ha of lowland Dipterocarp forest, 5000 ha of hill forest and 1000 ha of Montane forest.
Due to the superstitions of the local Malay villagers who believe that Gn. Palung is haunted, the hill forests are quite undisturbed. The lowland habitats are damaged by logging and small scale settlements, but this has had little effect on the fauna. Most seriously disturbed is the coastal strip, which is largely planted with coconuts.
The beaches are partly muddy, partly sandy and partly rocky. The double mountain Palung and Panti is isolated from any other mountain area by the flat swampy plain and possibly was once a separate island before the alluvial plains linked to the mainland. This isolation has resulted in a valuable degree of distinctiveness in the montane flora and fauna.
Principal vegetation:
- Beach forest;
Some forest formations of Casuarina equisetifolia, Callophyllum inophyllum, Terminalia, Morinda and Hibiscus tiliacea.
- Mangrove forest:
Heavily dominated by Rhizophora spp., and Bruguiera spp. The seaward edge of the mangrove forest is frequently lined with Sonneratia alba and Avicennia spp.
- Peatswamp forests:
Dominated by large Medang trees (particularly Litsea amora) and Ubah besi (Parastemon sp.); Meranti including Hopea sangal and Shorea leprosala. Also widespread are Bintangor (Callophyllum sp.) and Nyatoh (Ganua motleyana). Species diversity is over 40 species per half hectare inventory.
- Riverine/Freshwater swamp forests:
Dominated by Medang, Ubah besi, Shorea sp., Bintangor, Meranti bunga (Hopea sangal), Alseodaphne, Parastemon urophyllum, Shorea laevifolia.
