Abstract

This paper describes the impact of fire in logged-over and primary tropical forests in Sabah in terms of mortality and resultant canopy loss among saplings and trees. Prospects for recovery of forest structure and species composition are analyzed with reference to successional patterns commonly observed after natural or man-made gap forming processes
