Abstract
To improve enrichiment planting techniques in degraded tropical secondary forest we conducted experimental planting under different light conditions in degraded tropical secondary forest Malaysia. Growth and photosynthetic responses under different light conditions were measured in four indigenous tree seedlings Dyera costulata Dipterocarpus baudii Neobalanocarpus heimii and Gonystylus affinis. Seedling growth was measured over four years. Maximum photosynthesis Am ax was measured at two and twelve months after planting. Changes in growth rate and Amax with canopy openness among the study species were categorized into two groups. The growth and Amax of the first group D. costulata and Dipt. baudit were maximized at 30-40 canopy openness and may be suitable for planting under large canopy gaps. The second group G. affinis and N. heimit showed maximum growth and Amax at relatively low canopy openness less than 20. Species of the second group are considered as suitable under low light conditions that is small gaps of less than 20 canopy openness.
