management of peat swamp forest
1. INTRODUCTION
• Many peat swamp forests have been converted to
plantation, agriculture, resettlement etc.
•Three important principles of successful management of
ecosystem:
1. There is a limit to the intensity, size, and duration of
disturbance which an ecosystem can resist and still
maintain its productivity and ability to recover
2. Native species are often most effective at maintaining
the productive capacity of a site or of restoring soil fertility.
3.Nutrient cycling is very important to sustain the
ecosystem.
Implications of nutrient dynamics studies for
conservation and management of peat swamp forest
2. Management of peat swamp
• Agriculture
•Plantation
•Forest
3. Result of nutrient dynamic studies
Nutrient budget: MSF: Ca:7.5; Mg:3.2; Na:0.7 kg/ha/yr. LPF: Ca: 8.6; Mg:3.5; Na:0.7 kg/ha/yr
Implications of nutrient dynamics studies for conservation
and management of peat swamp forest
4. Implications of nutrient dynamic studies
• Based on the results of nutrient studies in tropical peat swamp
forest it is evident that there is nutrient surplus in the natural
ecosystem, because of it is possible to harvest timber over certain
time periods.
• A database for forest management based on nutrient content of
vegetation components.
5.Future research related to management
• Carry out research on nutrient content of individual tree species,
especially commercial species such as ramin (Gonystylus bancanus) to
estimate the number of trees that can be harvested sustainable during
a certain period of time.
• Compare the management practices and economic values of sector
activities on tropical peatland - Agriculture, Plantation and Forest
