Huong Son special-use forest is a potential resource for biodiversity conservation and eco-tourism. In this research, biodiversity richness of the area was audited using quantitative approach. Biodiversity index used was: IVI, H, Cd, A/F. Fauna biodiversity was accessed by observation method. Totally, 28 site was surveyed for flora biodiversity with 380 plant species and 178 species recorded.

 

The H index of woody species found to be rather high and stable, ranging from 3.83 to 5,50 while the H of bushes (2,88-5,20) and herbs (1,55-4,22) were greatly varied due to affect of invasive species. To facilitate the visualization of of the research result, a GIS’s database was produced. In this example, we show an clickable-PDF version of the GIS map. Each dot on the map show the IVI of a site, and also linked with the detail report of the site.
