Stand structure of Pasoh Forest Reserve, a lowland rain forest in Peninsular Malaysia
1990
LaFrankie, J.V. | Manokaran, N.
We tabulate and analyse the stand structure of Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia, based on an enumeration of all trees > 1 cm dbh in a 50-ha plot. Mean densities were 6769 trees ha1 , > 1 ondbh, 530 trees ha1 , > 10 cm dbh, 3.0 trees ha1 , > 90 cm dbh. Mean basal area was 30.5 m2 ha1 for all trees, and 25.2 m2 ha1 for trees > 10 cm dbh. Ground slope had a very weak negative correlation with density of small trees (30 cm dbh). Compared with other primary forests in Malaysia, Pasoh was relatively dense in smaller trees and relatively sparse in very large trees. The forest within the 50-ha plot was generally homogeneous, with no evidence of major disturbance, and it is likely representative of mean conditions of lowland forest in south-central Malay Peninsula.
