| description |
The success of the Selective Management System (SMS) in managing"
the hill dipterocarp forests of Peninsular Malaysia depends, among others, on
the types of trees in the residual stand and the ability of these trees to grow and
form the next crop. Specific information on growth and development of the
residual stand is urgently required to evaluate the management system and its
suitability in different forest types.
In this study, data are analysed from logged over stands in the Lebir
Forest Reserve, Peninsular Malaysia, which has been subjected to three
harvesting intensities (HIs). The data consists of nine measurements covering
a 14-year (1978-1991) period collected from nine permanent sample plots of
size 200X200 m design under the systematic line sampling method. The plots
were harvested first in 1977.
Stocking, basal area and dbh growth of most species groups and HIs
trees over 5 cm and over 15 cm dbh after harvest were significantly different
(p<0.01) between the hill and lowland forests. The 5-15 cm dbh trees
constituted more than 70 % of the total stocking and 20 % of total basal area.
The stocking by dbh classes followed an inverse J-shape curve. The residual
stand was dominated by non-dipterocarps. The potentially marketable (PM)
and non-marketable species together accounted for more than 60% of total
stocking and 58 % of total basal area in the both forests. |
