Population Dynamics Of Calamus Castaneus Griff. In Selected Forest Reserve In Northern Region Of Peninsular Malaysia

The population dynamics of rattan in Malaysian forests was not fully documented. Hence, the major aim of this study was to investigate the population dynamics pattern of Calamus castaneus; a non-climbing rattan. This study was conducted in selected forest reserve in the northern region of Peninsular...

description The population dynamics of rattan in Malaysian forests was not fully documented. Hence, the major aim of this study was to investigate the population dynamics pattern of Calamus castaneus; a non-climbing rattan. This study was conducted in selected forest reserve in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia namely Segari Melintang Forest Reserve in Perak, Teluk Bahang Forest Reserve and Bukit Mertajam Forest Eco Park in Pulau Pinang from March 2017 until March 2018. The objectives of this study were; 1) to evaluate the regeneration status and growth of C. castaneus. 2) to investigate flowering and fruiting duration, and 3) to correlate the microclimate parameters and soil properties on the population dynamics of C. castaneus. In each study site, five plots with the size of 10 m x 10 m (100 m²) each were established. All C. castaneus individuals inside the plot were marked with numbered plastic tags.
