Studies of native and exotic tree plantations in Sarawak

Reforestation with indigenous tree species can play an important role in the restoration of unproductive degraded forestland resulting from shifting cultivation in Sarawak. To evaluate the mortality and growth of tree species planted in six different sites reforestation since 1984, demographic data...
