Sustainable management of production forests is crucial for maintaining the human welfare within and beyond Borneo because production forests have a range of ecosystem services including provisioning of water and regulation of climate. The value of provisioning of ecosystem services in production forests in addition to timber needs to be properly evaluated. We have developed a robust biodiversity indicator to evaluate spatio-temporal changes of ecosystem health in Bornean production forests which is also a surrogate of provisioning of ecosystem services. We have also developed a rapid cost-effective method to demonstrate landscape-level patterns of the indicator for Forest Management Units FMU to be undertaken by FMU holders that is BOLEH Biodiversity Observation for Land and Ecosystem Health. Our BOLEH approach consists of three steps; 1 stratification of the forests in a given FMU 2 count-plot measurements 60 plots in the field and 3 statistical analyses and extrapolation using remote sensing and Geographical Information System GIS. In this procedure composition of canopy-tree species/genera is calculated for each plot and composition values derived from a multivariate analysis are extrapolated to the areas outside the plots using remote sensing and GIS. In this paper we present the principle methodology and benefits of our approach.

Abstract

Sustainable management of production forests is crucial for maintaining the human welfare within and beyond Borneo because production forests have a range of ecosystem services including provisioning of water and regulation of climate. The value of provisioning of ecosystem services in production forests in addition to timber needs to be properly evaluated. We have developed a robust biodiversity indicator to evaluate spatio-temporal changes of ecosystem health in Bornean production forests which is also a surrogate of provisioning of ecosystem services. We have also developed a rapid cost-effective method to demonstrate landscape-level patterns of the indicator for Forest Management Units FMU to be undertaken by FMU holders that is BOLEH Biodiversity Observation for Land and Ecosystem Health. Our BOLEH approach consists of three steps; 1 stratification of the forests in a given FMU 2 count-plot measurements 60 plots in the field and 3 statistical analyses and extrapolation using remote sensing and Geographical Information System GIS. In this procedure composition of canopy-tree species/genera is calculated for each plot and composition values derived from a multivariate analysis are extrapolated to the areas outside the plots using remote sensing and GIS. In this paper we present the principle methodology and benefits of our approach.
