BARDAGE Stig L. The present work aimed to improve current knowledge on the susceptibility of painted wood to colonization by blue stain fungi, particularly knowledge on the performance of water-borne paints on wood in outdoor situations. The development and application of new methodologies in this work enabled investigations on some of the special characteristics and mechanisms involved. Some of these methodologies may have potential in becoming valuable tools in the development of new resistant paint formulations.
CLEGG Stephen A number of hypotheses have been tested in ecosystem experiments to further understand actual and potential threats to forests. Many of the studies have, however, not considered roots and the surrounding rhizosphere soil. This has lead to some criticism of forest ecosystem models, since tree roots are not passive receptors of nutrients from the soil but change their mode of nutrient uptake as an adaption to changing environmental conditions.
ESHETE Getachew The subjects addressed in this thesis are the development and description of methods for acquiring information on the state and change and for forecasting the potential future state in the acacia woodlands in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Since issues of data collection and prediction are core components of planning, it is believed that the methods developed and described will be useful in future integrated planning tools for the sustainable management of acacia woodlands.
FRANSSON Johan Remotely sensed data from spaceborne and airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors have potential to be used for standwise forest parameter estimation in support of operational forestry management planning. For Swedish forestry conditions this potential had been largely unexplored at the time the work with this thesis started.
HANNERZ Mats The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate methods for the early testing of adaptive traits in Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) in order to predict growth and damage in the field. The work based on studies of growth rhythm, growth and damage in short-term tests and in 9-14-year field trials. The reliability of different test methods for predicting field performance was evaluated using (i) temperature models for predicting date of budburst and associated frost risk in the field, (ii) estimates of clonal variation in traits describing growth cessation and (iii) estimates of genetic correlations between farm-field and field trials.
HANSSON Per During the 1970s and 1980s, Pinus contorta was introduced into northern Sweden from North America on a large scale. To date, P. contortahas been planted on more than 550 000 ha. The monitoring of 110 plantations of P. contorta in northern Sweden, included in this thesis, shows that this introduction was not problem free. In harsh areas (low temperature sum), an extensive epidemic of the parasitic fungus Gremmeniella abietina caused severe damage and mortality in young plantations of P. contorta during the late 1980s.
HAZELL Per Biodiversity issues are becoming integrated parts of Swedish forest management. In this context, the amount and distribution of broadleaved species, including aspen, are important. This thesis summaries results of two studies in which species from the rich epiphytic flora on aspen were used to evaluate important features of aspens, and two studies relating these features to production losses due to retention of aspen.
MOHD NOOR Mahat A trial at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Serdang, Malaysia consisting of twenty eight provenances of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex. Benth was assessed at four years for total height, diameter at breast height, specific gravity and fibre length. Of these provenances, 7 were from Queensland (QLD), 15 from the Northern Territory (NT) and 6 from Papua New Guinea (PNG). The provenances and geographic regions differed significantly at p 0.05 in their growth performance. Generally the Queensland provenances recorded the best growth in both height and diameter followed by the Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea Provenances. The mean total heights for provenances from Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea were 13.38 m, 12.37 and 11.89 m respectively. The mean diameters at breast0 height for provenances from Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea were 12.67 cm, 11.04 cm and 10.69 cm respectively. A similar pattern of variation was found in the wood properties except for wood specific gravity where there was no significant difference encountered between the three geographic regions. However, there were significant variation between provenances on both wood properties studied. The mean specific gravity ranged from 0.53 for the provenance from Balamuk on Bensbach (PNG) to 0.61 for the provenances from South Balamuk (PNG). The mean fibre length ranged from 0.865 mm for the provenance from Balamuk of Bensbach (PNG) to 0.993 mm for the provenance from Coen River (QLD). Generally, the percentages of variance components due to between and within provenances for both growth and wood properties were high. Most of the genetic variation was contributed by the variation of the traits between individuals within provenances. This was shown in the residual variance components of all traits that ranged from 31.82 to 71.08. Based on the basic information obtained on the genetic variation of this species, the alternative selection strategy recommended for the species is via selecting more individuals within provenance levels from all geographic regions. Most of the correlations between traits were low except for the phenotypic (r=0.75) and genetic (rG=0.88) correlations between total height and diameter at breast height. The results showed that there was no genetic correlation (R =0) between the growth traits and wood properties. Thus, there would be little scope of using growth traits for selecting wood properties. The broad-sense heritabilities of the traits were generally high. The heritabilities of the growth traits were, however, higher (H =0.85 - total height; H =0.82 - diameter at breast height) than those of the wood properties (H = 0.37 - specific gravity; H =0.22 - fibre length). Predicted gains on the provenance selection were generally favourable except for the fibre length which was slightly low. The predicted gains for total height, diameter at breast height, specific gravity and fibre length were 13.3, 20.7, 2.6 and 1.9 respectively. The finding showed that both intra and inter provenances as well as geographic region variations are important in the initial selection in the breeding programmes of this species. It is recommended that selection involving a large number of individuals within provenances could ensure the capturing of maximum genetic variation for the purpose of germplasm collection in a breeding population.
NOOR AZLIN Yahya The recreation forests of Malaysia are mostly frequented by the middle income residents. It was shown that there are numerous visitors to these sites especially during the weekends. The study looks at the effects of recreational settings, which are the natural resources conditions and the crowding conditions on visits' satisfaction. The excessive use was found to have affected the natural resources and the crowding levels were found to be very high. However, the study found that visitors are still highly satisfied with the recreation experience. Visitors' perceptions of the environmental conditions were assessed for three recreation forests namely Sungai Chongkak, Sungai Lentang dan Sungai Tua which are popular among the population of the Klang Valley. Visitors' preferences and awareness were compared to actual conditions of the recreation forests. Findings on awareness show that visitors are more aware of the plant component resource more than the other parameters. By groups, it was found that age seems to be a factor in perceiving environmental conditions, where the older people tend to be more aware of the situation. Visitors' environmental preferences are more towards general conditions in term of cleanliness from rubbish and the availability of recreational facilities. They are less affected by crowd as indicated by what they consider as "pollutants" of the recreation forests. It was found that visitors object more to hearing noise from other visitors than seeing the crowd. On placing importance, measured in terms of money and walking distance, visitors would rather spend more for cleanliness than for solitude. They are willing to pay up to RM1 for cleanliness, which was encouraging as the mode. However, nothing at all is willing to be spent for solitude. More visitors are willing to walk for cleanliness (500 m) but not at all for solitude conditions. This again emphasised the lack of importance of solitude, or the lack of aversion to crowd by recreation forests' visitors. In fact, when asked what is their crowd tolerance limit, most visitors answered "Do not care". Another finding from this study, is that campers which include visitors of challenging activities are quite different intheir perceptions and preferences of environmental conditions. The limit of crowd tolerance is less, and this group made up the most willing to pay up to RM 10 and walk up to 1 km. In conclusion, it was found that the recreational settings do indicate excessive use of the area. The natural ecology of the areas is significantly affected, and crowding is in tense. It was found that, visitors noticed the conditions of crowding more than the natural resources. Nevertheless, the majority of visitors are still very satisfied of the recreation experience in the recreation forests.
NUR SUPARDI Md. Noor To determine the consequences of disturbance on palms, I compared the unlogged lowland dipterocarp forest at Pasoh, Negeri Sembilan, Peninsular Malaysia, with a forest logged 42 years ago and a forest strip clear-felled 24 year before. Comparisons between the forests were also made on the conservation and economic values. The forest of Pasoh is uniform in relief but has differing geology and soil types. I therefore investigated the variation between the palm communities on different soil types in the unlogged forest and examined other factors that influence the diversity of palms. Forest on wet alluvium was the most species rich (32 species in 10 genera within 0.48ha). Lateritic and shale-derived soils were intermediate in species richness, but had dense communities of palms (8691 and 9514 individuals ha-1). Dry alluvial soils were poor in both species number and density of palms. The soil type has low water retention capacity. It was also subjected to disturbance by wild pigs which reduces the palm population. Windthrows were observed to be initially damaging, but appear to enhance regeneration of palms within the gaps created. Logging reduced species richness of palms. There were only 18 species (5 genera) within 1.08 ha as opposed to 27 species (6 genera) in 0.48 ha in the unlogged forest on a similar oil type. The reduction in palm density is even greater: a decrease of 88% (1008 individuals ha-1 vs. 8691 individuals ha-1). Variation within the logged forest seemed to be dependent on the degree of damage caused during logging. A clear-felled forest strip had recovered almost all the palm species present in a nearby unlogged forest. However, the density was still reduced by half. It had 448 individuals in 20 species (6 genera) within 0.2ha. The unlogged forest, 1103 individual in 22 species (6 genera). It is anticipated that a forest cleared for shifting cultivation may not recovered as quickly because it suffers severe losses in soil nutrients. The forest of Pasoh have 45 palm species of which only three species are of significant importance for conservation. The loss of the palm species to logging or clear-felling reduces conservation values of the disturbed communities. Logging has greatly reduced the extractive values of rattans, a group of climbing palms of commercial importance. It was estimated that about RM51.27 ha-1 (œ8.27 ha-1) can be obtained from the unlogged forest. This is a great contrast to only RM3.00 ha-1 (œ0.48 ha-1) obtained from the logged forest.
PETTERSSON Roger B. I analysed the impacts of forestry on lichens, invertebrates and birds in boreal spruce (Picea abies) canopies in five paired (old-growth and managed) sites from central to northern Sweden.
PHILIP Elizabeth Many urgent global environmental problems confronting society such as climate change and depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer are results of man-made changes in the state and composition of the atmosphere and its interactions with other environmental media. Pertinent issues like pollution and green house gases and their impact on various ecosystems as well as human health have invariably posed many questions to both policy makers and researchers. Hence, a study was formulated to examine the usefulness of the bioindications of the effects of air pollutants; sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and TSP on the species Eugenia grandis and Pongamia pinnata; record any sequence of injury and to identify possible bioindactor(s). The best technique to assess impact of air pollution on vegetation especially in the absence of injury would also be worked out. The experiment was conducted at a polluted area, Shah Alam and the other at a relatively clean area, Pangkor Laut. Results obtained from the 24 monthly sampling of photosynthetic and stomatal conductance of both the species suggested that these rates were lower at polluted area when compared with trees grown in clean area, when all other environmental factors were of insignificant difference. It inferred that the decline in both these physiological parameters were due to the decline in the biochemical activities. Biochemical pathway of photosynthesis was investigated by exploring the fluorescence yield. The pattern of change of fluorescence yield (F Fm); ie quantum yield of PS II (í ) was qualitatively similar to the quantum yield of CO uptake (í ) measurements at these sites but the decrease relative to control (PPPL) was only 18.1 compared to 37 of í for Pongamia pinnata at Shah Alam. The decrease in F Fm for Eugenia grandis in Shah Alam was 1 but the í was reduced to 30 of the control. These results suggests that photoinhibition of PS II, inferred by decrease in F Fm could only account for a small part of the observed decrease in í . SO and/or in combination with NO were implicated as amongst the factors responsible for reduced photosynthetic rate through the reduction in carboxylation activities. The decrease in stomatal conductance and photochemical efficiency were the secondary effects. Ultrastructural observations indicated that the stomata in Shah Alam were clogged perhaps by the particulate matter that is suspended in the atmosphere. The pollutants may bind with the particulate and leach into the leaf when they came in contact with moisture. The conclusions derived from this investigation are that Shah Alam is considered a polluted site while Pangkor Laut is clean based on the Malaysian Recommended rates. The effect of SO alone or in combination with NO retarded the carboxylation activity of the photosynthetic process. The other effects were secondary in nature. The constant shedding of leaves observed in P. pinnata in Shah Alam could be the result of the air pollution. Between the two species, E. grandis seemed to be more tolerant and is able to overcome the toxicity of the pollutants. On the other hand, P. pinnata has the potential to be used as a bioindicator, while E. grandis as a biofilter to air pollution. CO uptake measurement was found to be the best monitoring tool to assess the impacts of air pollution on trees.
SHAMSUDIN Ibrahim The 4-ha plot was established in a primary peat swamp forests at Pekan. The area represents a large contiguous block of peat swamp forest on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The plot is located within the 9000-ha peat swamp forest approved for agricultural development. The 4-ha plot was established in one of the harvesting blocks located at 103ø 25'E and 3ø 14'N. In this plot, a study was conducted on forest structure, tree species composition and their spatial distribution patterns, and subsequently the impact of current harvesting practices on structural characteristics of the forest was assessed. Spatial distribution patterns were examined before and after harvesting for 16 key species which included nine commercial and seven non-commercial tree species. The 4-ha plot was divided into four hundred 10m x 10m quadrats and trees ò5 cm dbh were enumerated within each quadrat. Identification of trees was made to species level. Each individual ò5 cm dbh was numbered and mapped for distribution pattern analysis and to assist in relocation of individuals in the plots after harvesting. Individuals ò15 cm dbh were also enumerated and identified in the 1-ha southwestern corner of the 4-ha plot but not mapped. Total amount of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium in the peat and their ion concentration in peat swamp water before harvesting were analyzed. The plot and quadrats were re-established after harvesting and all marked individuals ò5 cm dbh in the plot were re-assessed. Results of the study indicate that substrate quality was homogenous over the plot and forest vegetation had four strata. The emergent layer was dominated by commercial timber species, such as Durio carinatus, Gonystylus bancanus, Shores platycarpa and Koompassia malaccensis, and non-commercial species such as Parishia insignis, Parastemom urophyllus and Diospyros maingayi. The main canopy layer had a greater diversity of tree species compared to the understorey and shrub layers. Fourteen tree species were recorded in the main canopy layer along the profile strip in the plot. A total of 119 woody species from 39 different families were recorded within the 4-ha plot representing 5469 individuals ò5 cm dbh. The most abundant species in the plot was Gymnacranthera eugeniifolia and among the commercial species group, Durio carinatus was the most abundant. The most valuable timber species in peat swamp forest is Gonystylus bancanus, but it had a low density of individuals ò5 cm dbh. Individuals at the sapling stage (ò15 cm dbh) were representef by 100 species and they were all represented at higher size classes. Nineteen species were represented at higher size classes but not at the sapling stage. Individuals in the ò510 cm dbh size class represented about 51% of the total individuals enumerated in the plot. Therefore peat swamp forest at Pekan was characteristized by a high density of smaller individuals. The density of individuals ò 10 cm dbh was 660 ha-1, with 8.5% of this total was individuals of harvestable size ò40 cm dbh. These individuals were represented by 49 species of which only 28 species exceeded 50 cm dbh. Preharvesting spatial distribution patterns were detected for five species that showed clumping not only within but also between size classes. The total number of trees removed during harvesting was 94, representing 28 different species. Out of this total, 95 percent were individuals ò40 cm dbh. Individuals 40 cm dbh harvested within the plot were confined to Gonystylus bancanus, Durio carinatus and Shorea platycarpa. About 53% of the total individuals ò5 cm dbh were damaged during harvesting. Uprooted trees, snapped boles and missing trees constituted a greater proportion of the damage compared to other damage categories, especially to individuals ò510 cm dbh. Trees ò 10 cm dbh that sustained severe crown damage showed a higher rate of mortality one to five years after logging. Damage to the area by the current harvesting method was excessive and spatial distribution patterns of species changed. In summary, the current logging practices in peat swamp forest are very damaging especially during timber extraction. As rehabilitation in logged-over peat swamp forests is difficult, impacts on the residual stand and ground should be minimized for peat swamp forests to be managed sustainably for timber production.
STOCKFORS Jan The thesis summarises the results of four separate studies concerning respiration and nutrition of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees. Results from two of the individual studies are scaled up into carbon budgets for whole trees, and the problems associated with scaling-up small sample measurements to whole trees are discussed.

The conclusions derived from this investigation are that Shah Alam is considered a polluted site while Pangkor Laut is clean based on the Malaysian Recommended rates. The effect of SO alone or in combination with NO retarded the carboxylation activity of the photosynthetic process. The other effects were secondary in nature. The constant shedding of leaves observed in P. pinnata in Shah Alam could be the result of the air pollution. Between the two species, E. grandis seemed to be more tolerant and is able to overcome the toxicity of the pollutants. On the other hand, P. pinnata has the potential to be used as a bioindicator, while E. grandis as a biofilter to air pollution. CO uptake measurement was found to be the best monitoring tool to assess the impacts of air pollution on trees.

SHAMSUDIN Ibrahim The 4-ha plot was established in a primary peat swamp forests at Pekan. The area represents a large contiguous block of peat swamp forest on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The plot is located within the 9000-ha peat swamp forest approved for agricultural development. The 4-ha plot was established in one of the harvesting blocks located at 103ø 25'E and 3ø 14'N. In this plot, a study was conducted on forest structure, tree species composition and their spatial distribution patterns, and subsequently the impact of current harvesting practices on structural characteristics of the forest was assessed. Spatial distribution patterns were examined before and after harvesting for 16 key species which included nine commercial and seven non-commercial tree species. The 4-ha plot was divided into four hundred 10m x 10m quadrats and trees ò5 cm dbh were enumerated within each quadrat. Identification of trees was made to species level. Each individual ò5 cm dbh was numbered and mapped for distribution pattern analysis and to assist in relocation of individuals in the plots after harvesting. Individuals ò15 cm dbh were also enumerated and identified in the 1-ha southwestern corner of the 4-ha plot but not mapped. Total amount of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium in the peat and their ion concentration in peat swamp water before harvesting were analyzed. The plot and quadrats were re-established after harvesting and all marked individuals ò5 cm dbh in the plot were re-assessed. Results of the study indicate that substrate quality was homogenous over the plot and forest vegetation had four strata. The emergent layer was dominated by commercial timber species, such as Durio carinatus, Gonystylus bancanus, Shores platycarpa and Koompassia malaccensis, and non-commercial species such as Parishia insignis, Parastemom urophyllus and Diospyros maingayi. The main canopy layer had a greater diversity of tree species compared to the understorey and shrub layers. Fourteen tree species were recorded in the main canopy layer along the profile strip in the plot. A total of 119 woody species from 39 different families were recorded within the 4-ha plot representing 5469 individuals ò5 cm dbh. The most abundant species in the plot was Gymnacranthera eugeniifolia and among the commercial species group, Durio carinatus was the most abundant. The most valuable timber species in peat swamp forest is Gonystylus bancanus, but it had a low density of individuals ò5 cm dbh. Individuals at the sapling stage (ò15 cm dbh) were representef by 100 species and they were all represented at higher size classes. Nineteen species were represented at higher size classes but not at the sapling stage. Individuals in the ò510 cm dbh size class represented about 51% of the total individuals enumerated in the plot. Therefore peat swamp forest at Pekan was characteristized by a high density of smaller individuals. The density of individuals ò 10 cm dbh was 660 ha-1, with 8.5% of this total was individuals of harvestable size ò40 cm dbh. These individuals were represented by 49 species of which only 28 species exceeded 50 cm dbh. Preharvesting spatial distribution patterns were detected for five species that showed clumping not only within but also between size classes. The total number of trees removed during harvesting was 94, representing 28 different species. Out of this total, 95% were individuals ò40 cm dbh. Individuals 40 cm dbh harvested within the plot were confined to Gonystylus bancanus, Durio carinatus and Shorea platycarpa. About 53% of the total individuals ò5 cm dbh were damaged during harvesting. Uprooted trees, snapped boles and missing trees constituted a greater proportion of the damage compared to other damage categories, especially to individuals ò510 cm dbh. Trees ò 10 cm dbh that sustained severe crown damage showed a higher rate of mortality one to five years after logging. Damage to the area by the current harvesting method was excessive and spatial distribution patterns of species changed. In summary, the current logging practices in peat swamp forest are very damaging especially during timber extraction. As rehabilitation in logged-over peat swamp forests is difficult, impacts on the residual stand and ground should be minimized for peat swamp forests to be managed sustainably for timber production.

BARDAGE Stig L. The present work aimed to improve current knowledge on the susceptibility of painted wood to colonization by blue stain fungi, particularly knowledge on the performance of water-borne paints on wood in outdoor situations. The development and application of new methodologies in this work enabled investigations on some of the special characteristics and mechanisms involved. Some of these methodologies may have potential in becoming valuable tools in the development of new resistant paint formulations.

MOHD NOOR Mahat A trial at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Serdang, Malaysia consisting of twenty eight provenances of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex. Benth was assessed at four years for total height, diameter at breast height, specific gravity and fibre length. Of these provenances, 7 were from Queensland (QLD), 15 from the Northern Territory (NT) and 6 from Papua New Guinea (PNG). The provenances and geographic regions differed significantly at p 0.05 in their growth performance. Generally the Queensland provenances recorded the best growth in both height and diameter followed by the Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea Provenances. The mean total heights for provenances from Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea were 13.38 m, 12.37 and 11.89 m respectively. The mean diameters at breast height for provenances from Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea were 12.67 cm, 11.04 cm and 10.69 cm respectively. A similar pattern of variation was found in the wood properties except for wood specific gravity where there was no significant difference encountered between the three geographic regions. However, there were significant variation between provenances on both wood properties studied. The mean specific gravity ranged from 0.53 for the provenance from Balamuk on Bensbach (PNG) to 0.61 for the provenances from South Balamuk (PNG). The mean fibre length ranged from 0.865 mm for the provenance from Balamuk of Bensbach (PNG) to 0.993 mm for the provenance from Coen River (QLD). Generally, the percentages of variance components due to between and within provenances for both growth and wood properties were high. Most of the genetic variation was contributed by the variation of the traits between individuals within provenances. This was shown in the residual variance components of all traits that ranged from 31.82 to 71.08. Based on the basic information obtained on the genetic variation of this species, the alternative selection strategy recommended for the species is via selecting more individuals within provenance levels from all geographic regions. Most of the correlations between traits were low except for the phenotypic (r=0.75) and genetic (rG=0.88) correlations between total height and diameter at breast height. The results showed that there was no genetic correlation (R =0) between the growth traits and wood properties. Thus, there would be little scope of using growth traits for selecting wood properties. The broad-sense heritabilities of the traits were generally high. The heritabilities of the growth traits were, however, higher (H =0.85 - total height; H =0.82 - diameter at breast height) than those of the wood properties (H = 0.37 - specific gravity; H =0.22 - fibre length). Predicted gains on the provenance selection were generally favourable except for the fibre length which was slightly low. The predicted gains for total height, diameter at breast height, specific gravity and fibre length were 13.3, 20.7, 2.6 and 1.9 respectively. The finding showed that both intra and inter provenances as well as geographic region variations are important in the initial selection in the breeding programmes of this species. It is recommended that selection involving a large number of individuals within provenances could ensure the capturing of maximum genetic variation for the purpose of germplasm collection in a breeding population.

CLEGG Stephen A number of hypotheses have been tested in ecosystem experiments to further understand actual and potential threats to forests. Many of the studies have, however, not considered roots and the surrounding rhizosphere soil. This has lead to some criticism of forest ecosystem models, since tree roots are not passive receptors of nutrients from the soil but change their mode of nutrient uptake as an adaption to changing environmental conditions.

NUR SUPARDI Md. Noor To determine the consequences of disturbance on palms, I compared the unlogged lowland dipterocarp forest at Pasoh, Negeri Sembilan, Peninsular Malaysia, with a forest logged 42 years ago and a forest strip clear-felled 24 year before. Comparisons between the forests were also made on the conservation and economic values. The forest of Pasoh is uniform in relief but has differing geology and soil types. I therefore investigated the variation between the palm communities on different soil types in the unlogged forest and examined other factors that influence the diversity of palms. Forest on wet alluvium was the most species rich (32 species in 10 genera within 0.48ha). Lateritic and shale-derived soils were intermediate in species richness, but had dense communities of palms (8691 and 9514 individuals ha-1). Dry alluvial soils were poor in both species number and density of palms. The soil type has low water retention capacity. It was also subjected to disturbance by wild pigs which reduces the palm population. Windthrows were observed to be initially damaging, but appear to enhance regeneration of palms within the gaps created. Logging reduced species richness of palms. There were only 18 species (5 genera) within 1.08 ha as opposed to 27 species (6 genera) in 0.48 ha in the unlogged forest on a similar oil type. The reduction in palm density is even greater: a decrease of 88 percent (1008 individuals ha-1 vs. 8691 individuals ha-1). Variation within the logged forest seemed to be dependent on the degree of damage caused during logging. A clear-felled forest strip had recovered almost all the palm species present in a nearby unlogged forest. However, the density was still reduced by half. It had 448 individuals in 20 species (6 genera) within 0.2ha. The unlogged forest, 1103 individual in 22 species (6 genera). It is anticipated that a forest cleared for shifting cultivation may not recovered as quickly because it suffers severe losses in soil nutrients. The forest of Pasoh have 45 palm species of which only three species are of significant importance for conservation. The loss of the palm species to logging or clear-felling reduces conservation values of the disturbed communities. Logging has greatly reduced the extractive values of rattans, a group of climbing palms of commercial importance. It was estimated that about RM51.27 ha-1 (œ8.27 ha-1) can be obtained from the unlogged forest. This is a great contrast to only RM3.00 ha-1 (œ0.48 ha-1) obtained from the logged forest.

Environmental settings of three recreation forests and their effects on visitors'
perception = Persekitaran tiga hutan lipur dan kesannya terhadap persepsi pengguna
rekreasi. Serdang: Universiti Putra Malaysia, 1999. The recreation forests of Malaysia are mostly frequented by the middle income residents. It was shown that there are numerous visitors to these sites especially during the weekends. The study looks at the effects of recreational settings, which are the natural resources conditions and the crowding conditions on visits' satisfaction. The excessive use was found to have affected the natural resources and the crowding levels were found to be very high. However, the study found that visitors are still highly satisfied with the recreation experience. Visitors' perceptions of the environmental conditions were assessed for three recreation forests namely Sungai Chongkak, Sungai Lentang dan Sungai Tua which are popular among the population of the Klang Valley. Visitors' preferences and awareness were compared to actual conditions of the recreation forests. Findings on awareness show that visitors are more aware of the plant component resource more than the other parameters. By groups, it was found that age seems to be a factor in perceiving environmental conditions, where the older people tend to be more aware of the situation. Visitors' environmental preferences are more towards general conditions in term of cleanliness from rubbish and the availability of recreational facilities. They are less affected by crowd as indicated by what they consider as "pollutants" of the recreation forests. It was found that visitors object more to hearing noise from other visitors than seeing the crowd. On placing importance, measured in terms of money and walking distance, visitors would rather spend more for cleanliness than for solitude. They are willing to pay up to RM1 for cleanliness, which was encouraging as the mode. However, nothing at all is willing to be spent for solitude. More visitors are willing to walk for cleanliness (500 m) but not at all for solitude conditions. This again emphasised the lack of importance of solitude, or the lack of aversion to crowd by recreation forests' visitors. In fact, when asked what is their crowd tolerance limit, most visitors answered "Do not care". Another finding from this study, is that campers which include visitors of challenging activities are quite different intheir perceptions and preferences of environmental conditions. The limit of crowd tolerance is less, and this group made up the most willing to pay up to RM 10 and walk up to 1 km. In conclusion, it was found that the recreational settings do indicate excessive use of the area. The natural ecology of the areas is significantly affected, and crowding is in tense. It was found that, visitors noticed the conditions of crowding more than the natural resources. Nevertheless, the majority of visitors are still very satisfied of the recreation experience in the recreation forests.

HANSSON Per During the 1970s and 1980s, Pinus contorta was introduced into northern Sweden from North America on a large scale. To date, P. contortahas been planted on more than 550 000 ha. The monitoring of 110 plantations of P. contorta in northern Sweden, included in this thesis, shows that this introduction was not problem free. In harsh areas (low temperature sum), an extensive epidemic of the parasitic fungus Gremmeniella abietina caused severe damage and mortality in young plantations of P. contorta during the late 1980s.
