PROFIL VEGETASI DATARAN RENDAH KOTA SEMARANG

Abstract

Indonesia is known to the world as a mega biodiversity country because it has vibrant
biodiversity. Semarang has a unique topography starting from the beaches in the
coastal areas, lowlands to hills in the southern region. The different landscapes affect
the biodiversity in Semarang City. This study aims to analyze the distribution of vegetation and create a vegetation profile of Semarang. The results showed that each species' dominant pattern in each growth rate was relatively spread. The ability to control
each species in the community was relatively balanced. The sustainability of species
diversity could be maintained. Besides, it is necessary to manage and preserve vegetation types that are quite dominant and have beneficial values in terms of economy,
ecology, and even socio-culture in Semarang. They can become a characteristic of
Semarang as the capital of Central Java.
