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 heath forest and (ii) to determine the natural regeneration status of dominant tree species with potentials for reforestation. The systematic sampling method using nested plots was conducted, in which three plots were placed at mixed dipterocarp forest and four at heath forest. The species diversity in the mixed dipterocarp forest was H' = 3.7 and heath forest is H' = 3.8. Neolamarckia cadamba was found to be the dominant timber-producing species in mixed dipterocarp forest with good regeneration. Likewise, Litsea lancifolia and Calophyllum inophyllum were the dominant timber-producing species with good regeneration in the heath forest. There was only one non-timber producing species with good regeneration, i.e. Goniothalamus uvarioides, from the mixed dipterocarp forest.
The financial returns to establishing eastern black walnut plantations in the Corn Belt region are financially acceptable. Roughly one million acres lend themselves to walnut culture. Stumpage price and site quality reflected through land price influence the level of returns realized. These plantations can provide a viable land use and investment alternative in utilizing erodible land, in diversifying the rural economy, and over the long run in supplementing farm income. North. J. Appl. For. 4:158-160, Sept. 1987.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
