Mahmud Y., . (2003) The need to improve the residual stands of logged-over tropical rain forest: proposed silvicultural activities in ex-selection felling system areas with reference to Brunei Darussalam conditions. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
About 50 of the total round timber need of Brunei Darussalam is sourced from the remaining area of natural production forest. The ongoing demand for wood and the small area of production forest allocated for timber production is becoming a great concern and will affect the sustainability of the timber production. Due to this area limitation it is quite difficult to achieve and maintain the continued productivity of the production forests unless there are human interventions in manipulating yield and growth of these stands rather than leaving them to natural or semi-natural state of regeneration. In addition due to the continuous high demand of these high quality timbers in the regional and local markets. there is a need to maintain the productivity of the production forests so that the supply from these designated limited resources can be sustained in the long term. Conducting a series of silvicultural activities in the logged-over production forests is most important in sustaining the production of timber. However. adopting the appropriate silviculture system alone will not guarantee the progressive improvement of the residual stands for future crop trees without undertaking several follow-up silvicultural steps. The silviculture system and practices recommended have been proven to be applicable to local conditions for logged-over production forests most of which have been logged by selective felling system.
