Abstract: The purpose of research was to study various plant communities profiles and to compare with the earlier condition. The stratified random sampling method was taken by selecting 15 plots in quadrat size to measure density, diversity, richness, abundance, and girth at breast height (GBH). Results showed that more species richness will have less diversity. The homogeneity of sites correlate with their species abundance. Inversely proportional relationship between GBH and density indicates that plant density does not relate to the maturity of forests. Comparison with last five-year data showed that most of the sites have improved their density and diversity.
