Since the late 1960s the Indonesian state of East Kalimantan has
witnessed a marked increase in the impact of human activities
chiefly commercial logging and agricultural exploitation. Located
on the island of Borneo, East Kalimantan also was subjected to
prolonged droughts and extensive wildfires in 1982-83 and 1997-98
that were linked to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
phenomenon. The changes in the rainforest ecosystem in East
Kalimantan during this 15-year cycle of severe ENSO events are the
subject of this book. With an eye toward development of
rehabilitation techniques for sustainable forest management, the
authors examine possible interactive effects of drought, fire, and
human impacts on the flora and fauna of the area.
