40. Timber stand was mapped for dipterocarp demography (>19 cm DBH), and fruit production, seed predation, and seedling establishment were monitored during the 1991 mast-fruiting event. This stand was felled by the company's most experienced chainsaw operators following their standard protocol (except that minimum felling size regulations were enforced). This re-census occurred after felling, but before skidding and removal of felled trees, so it includes only felling damage.
