Mitigating the scarcity of Dipterocarp seedlings
The replacement of native populations of trees with cultivated kinds in tissue culture lab is vitally necessary to fulfil the growing demand for forest products while more forest area is required for non-timber purposes. At the moment, short-rotation intense hardwood cultivation looks to be a good fit for this requirement. However, restricted extension of arable land, fast human population increase, improved economic position, environmental degradation, deforestation, global warming, and water shortages will continue to put strain on remaining forest areas.
