Analysis Of Coffee Plantation

Biodiversity is one aspect that lately become much attention for his role in maintaining the continuity of the ecosystem. Shade coffee plantations have very diverse biodiversity and capable of maintaining soil conditions, climate, and biology the same as natural conditions [1]. However, many farmers manage coffee plantation with only one type of shade trees for protection. As a result, biodiversity is reduced and consequently erosion, and pest attacks increased.
Shade coffee plantations was important as habitat for flora and fauna [1] and has a complex structure (2) and represents an important biological reservoir for both flora and fauna [3; 1]. However, only a little information about the structural characteristics and plant diversity in coffee plantations that can describe the ideal composition of vegetation and structure from the ecology and economics perception.
This study aimed to determine (1) whether the pattern of management of coffee plantations will affect the species composition, structure and diversity of the coffee plantation (2) the effect of coffee plantation management patterns of population structure of vegetation in coffee plantations, and (3) provide recommendations pattern coffee farm management best able to maintain environmental health.

II. Materials
Most of the coffee plant has a height between 1.5 - 2m (88-90%), and only a small portion which has a height> 2.5 m (1-4%). Diameter class 2 <10 cm was 46% (coffee multistrata) and 34% (shade coffee). Similar diameter distribution for both of landuse type occur because: (1) Coffee management intensity (frequency of weeding), and (2) land use ; are relatively similar. Population density on multistrata coffee was higher, so there is competition nutrients uptake finally inhibit plant growth. Coffee is still young too, so that farmers are still concentrate on new plants rather than maintain the population structure of
