| Research Abstract |
Research purpose was to estimat the needed years to reach the canopy and/or the emergent layer using the tree age and tree height relation. As a result, even the rain forest some tree species have the potential to reach the emergent layer in 50 - 60 years. However, the suggested minimum year of rehabilitation with becoming high biodiversity forests will be more than 40 years on the seasonal tropical forest. Considered, and will be more than 130 years in tropical rain forest with the emergent layer.
