Smaller trees can fruit in logged dipterocarp forests

Currently, the hill dipterocarp forests in Peninsular Malaysia are selectively felled for marketable timber trees >45 (or >50) cm dbh. The advanced residuals >15 to 25 cm dbh) could fruit. By comparison, equivalent sized individuals in the old regrowth and undisturbed forests did not; here, the fruiting individuals were generally >35 and >50 cm dbh, respectively. The results suggest that dipterocarp forests are potentially capable of regenerating their young crops within a few years after logging, on condition sufficient advanced residuals are present.
