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. |
