Abstract
Effects of light intensity on the growth and allometry of two Bornean Dryobalanops (Dipterocarpaceae) seedlings. Biomass growth and allometry of Dryobalanops aromatica and D. lanceolata seedlings were compared among five neutral shade conditions 7 12 27 48 and 100 per cent relative light intensity (RLI). The estimated optimum RLIs for seedling growth were not much different between the species; 26.9 per cent and 31.8 per cent for D. aromatica and D. lanceolata respectively. But seedling allometry showed significant interspecific differences. Dryobalanops aromatica allocated more above-ground biomass to stem and made taller seedlings than D. lanceolata. This allometric difference seems to be related to the differences in gap regimes of the sites where they are distributed in the study forest.
