Sunfleck Contribution to Leaf Carbon Gain in Gap and Understory Tree Seedlings of Shorea macrophylla
Dynamic gas exchange in response to sunflecks has been studied extensively through laboratory experiments and by modeling. However, model estimates of photosynthetic changes in response to sunflecks vary widel...

Leaf Phenology of Trees in the Pasoh Forest Reserve
We studied the phenology of leaf emergence in 94 trees and the leaf dynamics of 17 selected trees in the Pasoh Forest Reserve (Pasoh FR), Malaysia. We tested the following hypotheses: (i) the phenology of leaf...

Insect Herbivores on Tropical Dipterocarp Seedlings
We conducted a field experiment in the Pasoh Forest Reserve (Pasoh FR), Peninsular Malaysia, from 1995 to 1996 to investigate seasonal variation in the numbers of herbivorous insects and their insect predators...

Leaf Herbivory and Defenses of Dipterocarp Seedlings in the Pasoh Forest Reserve
Leaf herbivores can potentially reduce the growth and survival of individual tree seedlings, thereby influencing the composition and species diversity of plant communities in forests. Plants have developed var...

Prospects and Priorities for Research Towards Forest Policy Reform and the Sustainable Management of Biodiverse Tropical Forests
To facilitate the sustainable management of biodiverse tropical forests, we propose that the ecological services and goods of these forests be assessed. The assessment should start with a review of existing ec...

Chapter
Pasoh Research, Past and Present
Abstract: The Pasoh forest reserve (Pasoh FR), albeit in an atypically dry region of Peninsular Malaysia, is now one of the most extensive remaining examples of the mixed dipterocarp forests which once covered...

Soil and Belowground Characteristics of Pasoh Forest Reserve
We describe the soil and belowground characteristics of the Pasoh Forest Reserve (Pasoh FR), Peninsular Malaysia. Soil survey was conducted using the Malaysian classification system in primary and regenerating...

Small Mammal Community: Habitat Preference and Effects after Selective Logging
Abstract: The present study of small mammals in a Malaysian tropical forest attempts to gain some insight into the correlation between their habitat preferences. A 10 ha study plot including primary, old regen...

Microhabitat Preference of Two Sympatric Scaphium Species in a 50 ha Plot in Pasoh
A remarkable feature of tropical woody biodiversity is the presence of a large number of closely related, sympatric species in some genera. Such species are most likely to have relatively similar niches, shari...

Chapter
Logging History and Its Impact on Forest Structure and Species Composition in the Pasoh Forest Reserve — Implications for the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources and Landscapes
Abstract: A part of the Pasoh Forest Reserve (Pasoh FR) was once logged under a logging regime called the Malayan Uniform System (MUS) in the 1950s. The core area of the reserve is a residual unlogged (primary...
