Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Tree diversity was significantly reduced by forest degradation; it was 82 in the low degradation class of peatland forest in Ketapang, West Kalimantan.
- Intervention effect Tree diversity was significantly reduced by forest degradation; it was 48 in the high degradation class of peatland forest in Ketapang, West Kalimantan.
- Intervention effect Forest degradation caused more than 50% loss of important species in highly degraded peatland forest.
- Intervention effect Forest degradation reduced tree abundance by about 40%.
- Observation Ten species found in highly degraded forest, including Calophylum inophyllum, Cyathocalyx biovulatus, Neoscortechinia kingii and Eugenia cerina, were not present in low degraded forest.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that species composition and abundance shifts due to forest degradation be considered in peatland forest management to prevent permanent species loss.
