Savannahs retreated by the Late Pleistocene and had completely disappeared by the Holocene epoch, when they were replaced by highly stratified closed-canopy rainforest. This resulted in the ascendency of rainforest-adapted species as well as Homo sapiens—which has a unique adaptive plasticity among ...
Deforestation in Southeast Asia Deforestation remains a serious problem in Southeast Asia. The Forest Resources Assessment 2010 of the Food and Agriculture Organization revealed that primary forest (see Glossary) in the ten Southeast Asian countries decreased from approximately 663000km2in 2000 to approxima...
[7] reported an overall 1.0% yearly decline in forest cover in insular Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2010, with the main change trajectories to plantations and secondary vegetation. Peat swamp forests experienced the highest deforestation rates at an average annual rate of 2.2%, while lowland ...
3. Forest Fires Forest fires act as a driver of deforestation in Malaysia, but these fires frequently stem from human activities such as clearing land for oil palm plantations and other slash- and-burn agriculture In other words, fires intended to be controlled often grow out of control ...
