Tropical forest seedling census data from Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia, 2019-2021. NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre. (Dataset). https://doi.org/10.5285/c1813d0d-193f-4f23-82c6-333d5d099b42 Abstract Southeast Asian tropical forests have been subjected to recent intense pressure due to selective logging and widespread clearance for Oil Palm cultivation. Consequently there is an emerging interest in restoring degraded forests using either natural regeneration or active restoration treatments. However, the reproductive biology of Southeast Asian tropical forest trees limits research on the effectiveness of these approaches, because most large canopy trees only flower and fruit very rarely. These sporadic mass reproductive events are responsible for establishing new cohorts of seedlings that grow up to become the next generation of adult canopy trees, and it is critical to discover whether the success of these episodic attempts at regeneration is as great in forests that have been degraded by logging as they are in primary forests, and whether the processes leading to seedling recruitment are restored effectively in forests where treatments such as tree planting and climber cutting have been applied. However, because these regeneration events occur so infrequently and unpredictably it is very difficult to incorporate them into the conventional planning cycle for research, despite the critical importance of the events that occur early in the life cycle of trees to future forests. In this project we will rapidly establish sampling sites in Sabah, Malaysia, where we know that a mass flowering of canopy trees was ...
