The comparison of modelling techniques for selected Genus Hopea in Peninsular Malaysia

Deforestation, urbanization and agriculture are major activities which contribute to the forest fragmentation and habitat loss. About 60.7% of Malaysia are still forested and in Peninsular Malaysia about 43.93% or 5.79 million ha are still forested. Timbers become the main cause of deforestation due...
