Management <strong>of</strong> Natural Forests<br />
10.In most <strong>for</strong>ests selective logging will soon enter into<br />
the second cut. Logged over <strong>for</strong>est will be the future<br />
source <strong>of</strong> timber in the region. Investigations are<br />
needed on the consequences <strong>of</strong> a second cut on future<br />
production, <strong>for</strong>est structure, floristic composition,<br />
and seedling regeneration.<br />
11. Selection <strong>of</strong> species <strong>for</strong> enrichment planting programmes<br />
is still primarily ad hoc, usually based on<br />
what is available. Incidental observations have suggested<br />
that there is a core <strong>of</strong> species among<br />
<strong>dipterocarps</strong> (e.g. Shorea spp. (engkabangs),<br />
Dryobalanops aromatica, Shorea trapezifolia, and<br />
others) which share characteristics including fast<br />
growth and regular fruiting. Such species should be<br />
developed <strong>for</strong> planting, and their tolerances and<br />
growth requirements (light, water) should be investigated<br />
further.<br />
Acknowledgments<br />
The idea <strong>of</strong> producing the series <strong>of</strong> reports on<br />
<strong>dipterocarps</strong> that eventually led to this book was first<br />
proposed by G. Maury-Lechon, and I am indebted to her<br />
<strong>for</strong> the support. Likewise, C. Cossalter (<strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>International</strong> <strong>Forestry</strong> <strong>Research</strong>) was a constant support<br />
throughout. Finally, I would like to thank the two<br />
<strong>review</strong>ers, F.E. Putz (<strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Forestry</strong><br />
<strong>Research</strong>) and P. Burgess, <strong>for</strong> their detailed criticism <strong>of</strong><br />
an earlier draft. P. Burgess was particularly helpful in<br />
providing many notes that were useful in the finalisation<br />
<strong>of</strong> this chapter.<br />
