Buku baru ekosistem hutan Gunung Pohen, Cagar Alam Batukahu



Montane forests such as those on Mt. Pohen Bali have become increasingly important for conserving Indonesia’s biodiversity. The importance of the tropical montane forest for Indonesia is understandable, considering that much of its tropical lowland forest has been cleared for more than 30 years. However, the scientific knowledge in this field is limited, particularly in volcanic tropical montane forests, where scientific studies about the effects and the ecological consequences of disturbances at high-elevation are still scant. Therefore, the present study is significant in terms of generating useful baseline data for the management of montane ecosystems in the region.
