Abstract

We tabulate and analyse the stand structure of Pasoh Forest Reserve Malaysia based on an enumeration of all trees 1 cm dbh in a 50-ha plot. Mean densities were 6769 trees ha1 1 ondbh 530 trees ha1 10 cm dbh 3.0 trees ha1 90 cm dbh. Mean basal area was 30.5 m2 ha1 for all trees and 25.2 m2 ha1 for trees 10 cm dbh. Ground slope had a very weak negative correlation with density of small trees (30 cm dbh). Compared with other primary forests in Malaysia Pasoh was relatively dense in smaller trees and relatively sparse in very large trees. The forest within the 50-ha plot was generally homogeneous with no evidence of major disturbance and it is likely representative of mean conditions of lowland forest in south-central Malay Peninsula.
