An In-Depth Look
At Enrichment Planting Editors:
H. T. Chan, Code:
MFR 47 2008 194 pp ISBN: 978-983-2181-96-5 Abstract: Enrichment
planting has been undertaken in Peninsular Malaysia since the 1900s and has
been actively implemented since the mid-1960s. Over the years, large extents
of logged-over forest have already been planted and the practice is being
continued until today. In this regard, various studies and trials on
enrichment planting have been conducted. Recognizing the importance of
enrichment planting, the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) has
decided to compile and document available information on studies and trials
of enrichment planting undertaken to date. In addition, the document contains
an in-depth review and analysis of the effectiveness of enrichment planting.
This book represents a comprehensive review of enrichment planting trials
conducted in Peninsular Malaysia with the aim that it will be used as an
authoritative document for future reference. The book contains eight chapters
with Chapter 3 highlighting case studies conducted in Peninsular Malaysia. It
is envisaged that this book would serve as a useful reference and guide in
the establishment of enrichment planting programmes
within the country. |
