Abstract

Currently the hill dipterocarp forests in Peninsular Malaysia are selectively felled for marketable timber trees 45 (or 50) cm dbh. The advanced residuals 15 to 25 cm dbh) could fruit. By comparison equivalent sized individuals in the old regrowth and undisturbed forests did not; here the fruiting individuals were generally 35 and 50 cm dbh respectively. The results suggest that dipterocarp forests are potentially capable of regenerating their young crops within a few years after logging on condition sufficient advanced residuals are present.
