Ecological and biological characteristics of saplings in relation to soil nutrients in secondary forest of Jenderak at Krau wildlife reserve, Pahang, Malaysia / Gufrin

A total of 8,951 saplings of the lowland dipterocarp secondary forest of Jenderak (2 ha plot) were recorded which comprised of 53 families, 136 genera, and 254 species. Result for diversity indices indicates that the secondary forest of Jenderak contains high diversity. Unfortunately, many plants ar...
