  • Shade -grown coffee is an agricultural system that cointans some forest-like characteristics. However structure and diversity are poorly known in shade coffee systems. In 8 coffee-grown plots of Ngantang-Malang structural variables of shade vegetation and coffee yields were measured recording spesies and their use. Coffee stands had four strata with mean density 3381 trees per hectare and at least there were three spesies on each plot. Diametric distribution resembles of a secondary forest. There is a significant role of shade-grown coffee as diversity refuge for woody plants and maybe associated fauna.Key words: Diversity, shade-grown coffee , vegetation structure, woody plants, agroecosystems.
