| Research Abstract |
Leaf ecophysiological responses to high-light exposure were studied on endangered and wide-distributed dipterocarp species in Malaysia. The results indicated that endangered dipterocarp Shorea resinosa and Shorea sinkawang showed lower acclimation potential than wide-distributed species. It is necessary to conduct hardening treatment gradually when these species are planted.
