Abstract/Summary:
We present an overview of research, including three planned experiments designed to test
the economic viability of large-scale restoration treatments, in a former logging concession at Harapan Rainforest (98,455 ha),
Indonesia. These experiments will address the following questions: (1) Can the selective removal of pioneer trees, including an invasive
species, be used to accelerate succession; (2) how does the functional diversity of the planted matrix affect growth and survival of a
high value target species; and (3) how does seed density affect recruitment success in direct seeding treatments?
