Abstract
In 13 ha of virgin dipterocarp forest of Sungai Tekam Forest Reserve Pahang (Peninsular Malaysia) there were an average of 376 climbers/ha 2 cm dbh (diameter at 1.3 m from the ground). Cutting of climbers before logging reduced the number of trees pulled down during felling by approximately one-half and thus is a useful silvicultural tool. One-half of the climber stems not cut prior to logging survived felling of their host trees and sprouted vigorously. More than one-half of the climbers on infested trees several years after logging sprouted from fallen climbers. Even cut pieces of climber stems left on the forest floor readily took root and sprouted. Poisoning cut climbers with 2 4 5-T usually prevented coppicing.
