Drought, fire and tree survival in a Borneo rain forest, East Kalimantan, Indonesia by Nieuwstadt, M.G.L. van, Sheil, Douglas

“…Drought contributes approximately 30% of the stem death observed in the burned forest after 21 months but the estimated contributions to dead basal area and biomass are higher at 52% and 63%, respectively. The forest contained around 7.3 tonnes ha1 (± 2.2, 95% confidence) of above-ground biomass as dead trees ( 10 cm d.b.h) prior to the drought, rising to 133 ± 30 tonnes ha1 21 months after drought alone, and 207 ± 50 tonnes ha1 in burned forest. …”
