Assessment of forest regeneration following a series of disturbances in two types of primary forest at Bungo Range, Bau, Sarawak

The forest regeneration study was conducted in a mixed dipterocarp forest and a heath forest at Bungo Range, Sarawak to determine the natural regeneration status after a series of forest disturbances. The research objectives were (i) to estimate the tree diversity in mixed dipterocarp forest and...
