| Abstract: | We conducted a field experiment to reveal the effect of environmental factors on the decomposition process of woody debris in Bintulu from July 2013 to November 2014. Forest type (Acacia plantation or natural forest) and canopy openness were selected as predictor variables of the decomposition rates for Xylopia ferruginea and Dryobalanops beccarii. The results suggest that land use change affects the decomposition process of woody debris. Further studies on effects of landscape structure on colonization processes of decomposers are needed. |
| Description: | This proceeding is a compilation of findings and progress activities of research collaboration between the Forest Department Sarawak (FDS) and the Japan Research Consortium for Tropical Forests in Sarawak (JRCTS). To highlight the research findings, An International Symposium entitled "Frontier in Tropical Forest Research: Progress in Joint Projects between the Forest Department Sarawak and the Japan Research Consortium for Tropical Forests in Sarawak" was ii held in Kuching, Sarawak on 21-22 September 2015. |
