553 Addenda, Steenis Addenda, corrigenda et emendanda C.G.G.J. van Steenis c.s. At times colleagueshave asked me whether my effort to collect the Addenda, Corrigendaet Emendanda was worthwhile. The main purpose is to keep readers up to date with the plants of Malesia in onework and keep them aware of additions, name changes, etc. also for They are important as a source plant-geographical purposes, to correct names of useful plants, etc. Another facet of keeping up with the records is that they reflect the degree of completeness of collections at the time of the original revision, and form a certain check on the degree of exploration. In an overall review of the 'Floristic inventory of the Tropics: Where do we stand?' PRANCE has made use of the Addenda in comparing the state of explorationin the neotropics with that of Africa and Malesia (Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 64, 1977, 657-685, especially p. 671). He found the number of addenda and novelties much larger in the neotropicsthan in Malesia, obviously due to a lower, and especially less varied exploration (collec- This tends conviction ting density). comparison to support my that the bulk of the Malesian species has become gradually represented in the herbarium.

    Maintenance and conservation of Dipterocarp diversity in tropical forests _______________________________________________ Mohammad Nazrin B Abdul Malik A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science Department of Animal and Plant Sciences November 2019 1 i Thesis abstract Many theories and hypotheses have been developed to explain the maintenance of diversity in plant communities, particularly in hyperdiverse tropical forests. Maintenance of the composition and diversity of tropical forests is vital, especially species of high commercial value. I focus on the high value dipterocarp timber species of Malaysia and Borneo as these have been extensive logged owing to increased demands from global timber trade. In this thesis, I explore the drivers of diversity of this group, as well as the determinants of global abundance, conservation and timber value. The most widely supported hypothesis for explaining tropical diversity is the Janzen Connell hypothesis. I experimentally tested the key elements of this, namely density and distance dependence, in two dipterocarp species. The results showed that different species exhibited different density and distance dependence effects. To further test the strength of this hypothesis, I conducted a meta-analysis combining multiple studies across tropical and temperate study sites, and with many species tested. It revealed significant support for the Janzen- Connell predictions in terms of distance and density dependence. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach, I highlight how environmental adaptation affects dipterocarp distribution, and the relationships of plant traits with ecological factors and conservation status. This analysis showed that environmental and ecological factors are related to plant traits and highlights the need for dipterocarp conservation priorities.

Reliable and up- to-date information on the state of forest resources - not only on area and area change, but also on such variables as growing stock, wood and non-wood products, carbon, protected areas, use of forests for recreation and other services, biological diversity and forests’ contribution to national economies - is crucial to support decision-making for policies and programmes in forestry and sustainable development at all levels. FAO, at the request of its member countries, regularly monitors the world’s forests and their management and uses through the Forest Resources Assessment Programme. This country report forms part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005 (FRA 2005), which is the most comprehensive assessment to date. More than 800 people have been involved, including 172 national correspondents and their colleagues, an Advisory Group, international experts, FAO staff, consultants and volunteers. Information has been collated from 229 countries and territories for three points in time: 1990, 2000 and 2005. The reporting framework for FRA 2005 is based on the thematic elements of sustainable forest management acknowledged in intergovernmental forest-related fora and includes more than 40 variables related to the extent, condition, uses and values of forest resources.
