	Barisan Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bukit Barisan range consists primarily of volcanoes shrouded in dense jungle cover.
		The highest peak of the range is Mount Kerinci at 3,800 metres (12,467 ft).
		The name Bukit Barisan actually means "row of hills" or "hills that make a row" in Indonesian or Malay, for the range stretches end to end along the island of Sumatra.

		Finally, there were the smallholdings (under 40 hectares or 100 acres) of which those at the lower end of the range (2 hectares/5 acres or less) were predominantly owned by indigenous Malays who found growing and selling rubber more profitable than subsistence (rice) farming.
		These smallholders did not need much capital since their equipment was rudimentary and labor came either from within their family or in the form of share-tappers who received a proportion (say 50 percent) of the output.
		In the primary sector Malaysia's range of products was increased from the 1960s by a rapid increase in the export of hardwood timber, mostly in the form of (unprocessed) saw-logs.

		As the Barisan Range buckled upward, it formed a deep-water channel to the west of Sumatra.
		Today, to the east of the Barisan Range low hills and plains exist as a result of tectonic and volcanic events.
		The lowland rain forests to the west of the Barisan Range receive more rainfall (~6,000 mm/year) than the lowland rain forests to the east (~2,500+ mm/year).

		The island is dominated by the Bukit Barisan mountain range which runs along the length of Sumatra.
		Large areas of the Bukit Barisan range are still covered in forest due to the difficulty in accessing the timber, and the steep land being unsuited to cultivation of crops.
		Aside from the mountain ranges the geography is made up of large, mangrove swamps on the eastern side of the island, remanant areas of jungle, plantation areas of rubber trees and palm oil trees, rice paddies, and large rivers.

		The altitudinal range varies from sea level to circa 3000 meters (the latter especially in the northernmost limits of the genus).
		Quite remarkable is the occurrence of blue berried species exclusively in the northernmost range of Amorphophallus, suggesting dispersal by a particular group of birds restricted to that particular geography.
		Throughout its range the species is astoundingly homogeneous in morphology, both in vegetative and generative parts.

		Geologically, the Bukit Barisan range is part of the Sumatra orogeny, having been uplifted into an anticlinal arch and folded and faulted along the present north-west to south-east axis during the Miocene.
		To the west, the Leuser-Simpali range is drained bytributaries of the Kluet River to the coast south of the Tapaktuan Mountains (Van Strien, 1978).
		Populations are confined to the remote interior, particularly in the western half of the park in the Mammas Valley, and to a lesser extent on the Kapi and Bengkong plateaux and the Upper Lesten Valley to the east.

		This poorly known species qualifies as Vulnerable because it is estimated to have a small population whose size is likely to be decreasing as a result of continuing forest loss and degradation.
		Distribution The Graceful or Black-crowned Pitta (see Remarks 1) is endemic to the highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia, having been found chiefly in the Barisan Range, at some of the same localities as the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo Carpococcyx viridis.
		The extent of deforestation in the lower elevational range of this species, the general plight of upland forest on Sumatra and the particular plight of Kerinci-Seblat National Park are outlined in Threats under Sumatran Ground-cuckoo.

		Even so, Robinson and Kloss (1918a) considered that "the bird must be very rare as these are the only specimens obtained since the original types were collected by Beccari on Mt Singalang thirty-five years ago", and Simpson (1995) agreed that, however inconspicuous it is, it must also be "very thinly distributed".
