14 Questions
What is the main priority of the Sarawak Government?
Sustainable Forest Management (SFM
Why has there been a decrease in timber production in Sarawak over the past decade?
There has been a significant decrease in timber production over the past decade in Sarawak due to low commercial timber stocking in Permanent Forest Estate (PFE).
What is the reason for the significant decrease in timber production in Sarawak over the past decade?
Low commercial timber stocking in Permanent Forest Estate (PFE
What is the purpose of the study that will be conducted in Sarawak?
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of current minimum cutting limits in logged-over forests in Sarawak.
What is the purpose of the study that will be conducted in Sarawak?
To evaluate the growth rate of 10 selected timber species in Permanent Forest Estate (PFE) in a selected Forest Management Unit (FMU) in Sarawak
Where will the study take place in Sarawak?
The forest area for the study is located in Kapit, Sibu, Bintulu, Miri, and Lawas in Sarawak.
Where is the forest area for the study located?
Kapit, Sibu, Bintulu, Miri and Lawas in Sarawak
What method will be used to collect data for the study?
The study will use forest inventory to measure and record the tree, shrubs, and other vegetation in the forest.
What method will be used to measure and record the tree, shrubs, and other vegetation in the forest?
Ground surveys
What data will be collected from the inventory?
The data collected from the inventory will be used to estimate the number of trees in the forest, the species composition, and the health of the trees.
How will tree growth data of timber species be obtained?
By using data from a previous study on tree growth
How will tree growth data of timber species be obtained for the study?
Tree growth data of timber species will be obtained via sampling data curation from the previous Permanent Sample Plot (PSP).
What is the expected outcome of the study?
To develop a modeling system to determine the optimal rotation aged based on the growth rate of the timber groups
What is the expected outcome of the study?
The expected outcome of the study is to determine the estimated tree stocking, the growth rate of the ten (10) selected timber tree species groups, and to develop a modeling system to determine the optimal rotation aged based on the growth rate of the timber groups.
