This research used purposive sampling technique and conducted in Monti Village, Sarolangun, Jambi. Inventory plants obtained 14 species specifically, Macaranga sp., Paspalum sp., Trema tomentosa, Imperata cylndrica, Lophatherum sp., Eleusine sp., Molineria sp., Lycopodium sp., Gleichenia linearis, Ipomea sp., Scleria sp., Eleocharis interstincta, Melastoma sp., and Phragmites sp. 14 plants, three plants dominated particularly, Phragmites sp. (37.35%), Melastoma sp. (30.64%), and Eleocharis interstincta (25.41%). Phragmites sp. have BAC values (0.381), BCF (0.606), TF (0.628), Melastoma sp. have BAC values (0.170), BCF (0.333), TF (0.511), and Eleocharis interstincta have BAC values (0.245), BCF (0.441), TF (0.555). The calculation result BAC, BCF and TF obtained Phragmites sp. have hight values.
