Abstract
The future long-term timber production in Peninsular Malaysia with regards to the implementation of the sustainable forest management is largely dependent on the availability of the Hill Dipterocarp Forests. Silvicultural measures in these forests therefore need to be well addressed. This is to ensure adequate residual stocking of regenerations in the logged-over forest. particularly the dipterocarps. to be sufficiently available for the next cutting cycle or rotation. Although there are several silvicultural options readily available for logged-over forest. enrichment planting programme has the potential and is seen as the most crucial option for the hill forests. Various enrichment planting activities have been implemented and they are considered to be effective in the effort to increase the level of productivity of timber stocking in the hill forests. This paper attempts to highlight the role of enrichment planting programme in contributing to the implementation of sustainable forest management practice in the hill forests. It will also attempt to address several key issues and challenges in the future of enrichment planting for the overall successful implementation of sustainable forest management in Peninsular Malaysia.
