| Abstract: |
| Temporal and spatial aspects of forest recovery after anthropogenic disturbance in Indonesia remain poorly known. Most publishedwork used paired-plot rather than time-series data due to limited long-term permanent plot observation established in mixed Dipterocarpforest of Indonesia; as well as more discussing on impact of fires event to biodiversity (van Nieuwstadt2001; Slik2002; Eichhorn2006). Specific effects of disturbance remain visible in forest structure and species composition long after a closed-canopy status is regained (Newboldet al.2014; Winter 2012). Canopy structure and basal area recover in 56 years after selective logging (Priatnaet al. 2004). Species richness recover in 150 years after clear felling (Riswanet al. 1984). Aboveground biomass recovery was estimated to take 80 years and biodiversity, assessed across plant and faunal groups may take 120-150 years (Martinet al. 2013). The objectives of the research are: (1) to understand the recovery process of forest composition structure after repeated fire events, (2) to understand the biomass recovery due to repeated fire event and (3) to get information regarding the restoration implication. |
