Abstract

Forests as a gift and mandate from God Almighty bestowed upon the Indonesian Nation is a priceless natural wealth, therefore it must be thanked. Therefore, the forest must be managed and utilised wisely as a manifestation of gratitude to Allah SWT. The production forest area in the Dampelas Tinombo FMU area that is included in the West Sigenti Village area of South Tinombo Sub-district, which is indicated to be damaged, has an area of approximately 410 hectares. Therefore, a study on the composition and potential of production forests in West Sigenti Village is needed for planning the utilisation and development of plantation forests with the aim of providing welfare for people living around the forest area without changing its main function. This research was carried out for 6 months starting from February to July 2022. The location of this research was in the production forest located in the KPHP Model Dampelas Tinombo area which is included in the West Sigenti Village area, Tinombo District, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The vegetation type composition of the production forest of Sigenti Barat Village consists of 28 types of vegetation. at the tree level in the plot as many as 165 individuals from 25 types of vegetation while pole level vegetation as many as 140 individuals from 25 types of vegetation, stake level as many as 145 individuals from 28 types of vegetation and seedling level as many as 154 individuals from 28 types of vegetation. While the potential volume of trees in the observation plot is 162.53m3 from 165 individuals, the bayas species has the largest volume with 13.17m3 and the pole level volume in the observation plot is 17.89m3 from 140 individuals, the prupuk species has the largest volume with 1.63m3.
