Abstract

Rehabilitation is one of the main approaches in repairing damage to the diversity and dynamics of degraded forest ecosystems. Active rehabilitation practices are needed to restore the original functions of the forest within a reasonable period. Hence, this study focusing on the survival and growth performance of six indigenous species in the compartment 15 of Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, Selangor. The tree species choose for this study were Syzygium dyerianum, Koompassia malaccensis, Intsia palembanica, Shorea macroptera, Shorea parvifolia and Hopea odorata. However, the tree species selection is a very important process in the rehabilitation project. By identifying species-specific survival rates and growth trajectories, this research enhances our ability to tailor conservation efforts to the unique needs of different plant taxa. The discovery that Hopea odorata exhibits the highest survival rate while other species like Shorea macroptera show comparatively lower rates highlights potential areas of concern and areas for targeted intervention. Such insights are invaluable for guiding forest management practices aimed at preserving biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Hence, there are limited information regarding the survival rate and growth performance of the indigenous tree species on the site. Therefore, need of extensive research on the survival and growth performance that affect the indigenous tree species that are useful for future management practices.
