An ecological and economic assessment of the nontimber forest product gaharu wood in Gunung Palung National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Article Abstract:

The demographic effect and economic returns of harvesting aromatic gaharu wood from fungus infected trees of Aquilaria malaccensis Lam. at Gunung Palun National Park, Indonesia is presented in order to evaluate the management potential of gaharu wood. It is suggested that returns per unit area could be improved substantially, by implementing unknown silvicultural methods to increase tree densities, increase the proportion of trees that produce gaharu wood, and shorten the time interval between successive harvests.
