Study on The Structure of The Trees Population in The Maluka Riverside as A Subject Matter to Development of The Plants Ecological Handouts Dharmono and Mahrudin Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin, Indonesia ABSTRACT Understanding the population structure is one of the best ways to recognize the population in a plant as a whole. The riverside Maluka of Tanah Laut District is the swamps and river found herbs having an important role to play in maintaining the structure of the soil from the erosion of the river running on the area.
