The
authors are very grateful to the EC-FAO Partnership Programme for providing the
opportunity to conduct the work. The need to develop an inventory methodology
for the logged-over forest is indeed timely as these forests are expected to
provide the much needed supply of raw materials for the forest industries
sector in Peninsular Malaysia. However, their status in terms of timber yield
and species composition is uncertain. A special note of thanks is extended to
Thomas Enters for his patience and guidance in the preparation of this
document. The authors would also like to acknowledge the continuous support of
the Forestry Department, Peninsular Malaysia, in forestry research, which also
made the field data collection possible. We are also very thankful to the
Director-General of the Forest Research Institute Malaysia for his support
rendered in the implementation and completion of this document.
