The riparian forests along the Phra Prong Canal act as a buffer to protect the freshwater environment from disturbances on the adjacent land. However, degradation of riparian forests has occurred throughout the area. Data on species composition is needed for riparian restoration and management. This study investigated all vegetation types in the riparian buffers along the Phra Prong Canal. Knowing the complexity of the vegetation structure is beneficial for planning and designing riparian reforestation in this canal.


The survey of vegetation was conducted in the Bodhivijjalaya College Forest as a representative sample of the riparian forest buffer along the Phra Prong Canal. The results identified 92 riparian species belonging to 45 families. They were classified into four groups, consisting of 86 dicotyledons, 4 monocotyledons, 1 gymnosperm, and 1 fern. Several members in the families Annonaceae, Apocynaceae, Fabaceae, Phyllanthaceae, and Moraceae were dominant in this forest. Most riparian species were climbers, trees and shrubs among other life forms. The climbers commonly found in this area were: Uvaria rufa Blume, Parameria laevigata (Juss.) Moldenke, Oxystelma esculentum (L. f.) Sm., Tarlmounia elliptica (DC) H. Rob., S.C. Keeley, Skvaria & R. Chan, and Combretum latifolium Blume. Among the collected trees were: Hydnocarpus anthelminthicus Pierre ex Laness., Garuga pinnata Roxb., Crateva magna (Lour.) DC., Hopea. odorata Roxb., Dipterocarpus alatus Roxb. ex G. Don, and Streblus asper Lour. The undergrowth consisting of shrubby trees, shrub and herbaceous plants included: Polyalthia suberosa (Roxb.) Thwaites, Tabernaemontana bufalina Lour., Connarus cochinchinensis (Baill.) Pierre, Gmelina asiatica L., Antidesma acidum Retz., Allophylus cobbe (L.) Raeusch., Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwaites, Commelina sp., And Merremia hederacea (Burm. F.) Hallier f.. The gymnosperm found in this study was Gnetum montanum Markgr. Status, uses, and pharmaceutical and phytochemical activities of the collected riparian species were also reviewed.
