Management and Diversity of Peat Swamp Forest in Peninsular Malaysia

Peat swamp forest (PSF) is the largest forested wetland type in Southeast Asia. PSF is a unique ecosystem globally that is highly threatened by logging, conversion to agriculture and aquaculture, and urban development. Among others, tree diversity and responses to Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) management of PSF in Peninsular Malaysia were investigated. PSF is also known as a great carbon storage.
