A botanical inventory of a tropical seasonal forest in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand: implications for fruit–frugivore interactions

摘要: The diversity of plants in tropical forests makes dietary studies frugivores difficult. This paper provides a botanical inventory seasonal forest community Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. is valuable from conservation perspective because it one the last remaining intact northeastern Thailand, and an important refuge for many animal plant species. A 4-ha plot measuring 200 × 200 m was established all greater than or equal to 10 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) were measured permanently labeled. We found 1610 stems belonging 105 species, 76 genera 35 families, with combined basal area 142.5 m2. dominated by species Lauraceae, Cornaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Meliaceae, Elaeocarpaceae. About one-third (40 spp.) identified this study vulnerable extinction they mostly dispersed large frugivores, which intolerant human impact. If disappear, these may become that are abiotic means small-seeded fruits.
