Synopsis (short abstract) The Mixed Dipterocarp Forest is the main vegetation type in insular South East Asia and constitutes the most productive forest type, which has been heavily exploited since 1960. The intense exploitation of the Mixed Dipterocarp Forest has not been compensated by appropriate logging and management practices, which would ensure sustained productivity. This is of deep concern not only to foresters and ecologists but also to industrialists, who fear that the resources will be exhausted in the next o ne or two decades with harmful consequences on the environment and economy of the region.
