	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The biome includes several types of forests, including lowland tropical rain forests, which receive high rainfall year-round; moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, with high overall rainfall marked by strong seasonal variations; montane rain forests found in cooler-climate mountainous areas; and freshwater swamp forests and peat swamp forests.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, northern and eastern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

	ETFRN NEWS 45/46: Forests, Water and Livelihoods
		The ‘forest and water’ debate is full of valid observations that are used to make generalizations at the wrong level, ignoring the effects of scale on many of the ‘truths’.
		Further downstream, the Mekong river feeds the Tonle Sap in Cambodja, where the primary concern is, however, over the disappearance of floodplain forests and its effects on fisheries, as described by Patrick Evans.
		The public debate on forests and water in many countries is highly charged with expectations of public benefits of forests and attributions of blame to upland farmers using the landscape that are not based on analysis of facts and measurements.

		Cambodia The conservation of the Tonle Sap wetlands, flooded forests and their associated waterbird colonies is a key component of the conservation programme for several threatened species, including the Greater Adjutant.
		For several of these species, Tonle Sap is the last stronghold in South-East Asia, and their survival in this region hinges on its protection; history has all too vividly shown—the Greater Adjutant is a prime example—that huge populations of large waterbirds can be eliminated over the course of a few decades.

		The forest belt of Khangai mountains is in the range of 1800 to 2300 m and formed by of larch stands, yernik-mosses and fescue-mosses sometimes with Kobresia spp.

	Communities and Forest Management in Southeast Asia
		While the rapidly shrinking public forest base is under unprecedented pressure from industry as well from local and urban public forest consumers, many forestry agencies have been faced with severe financial constraints and staff reductions that frustrated their attempts to sustainably manage their national forests.
		There is evidence that forest fires in logged-over tropical rain forests result in a much higher mortality rate among the towering canopy trees because of the hotter temperatures generated by fuel build-up from the logging slash.
		Forest communities in the upland areas and more remote interior regions were rarely subject to prolonged campaigns and generally fell outside the administration of the royal court.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Tonle Sap-Mekong peat swamp forests (IM0165)
		Native palms, often a characteristic component of typical swamp forests, generally are absent from the Tonle Sap floodplain with the exception of the local occurrences of rattans in some gallery forests.
		Large areas of swamp forest are present in poorly drained landscapes of the Haut Chhlong and Blao regions of Vietnam where the water table reaches to the surface.
		The vast floodplains of the Mekong River and Tonle Sap are extensively cultivated during the dry season, and local fishing communities have greatly altered the Tonle Sap swamp forests (IUCN 1991).

	River fisheries
		Riparian forest is an important element in the vegetation complex of rivers in that, in the natural state, fallen wood structures the environment, leaf fall provides a major source of organic and nutrient inputs and the overhanging vegetation gives a mosaic of light and shade which conditions the distribution of many aquatic organisms.
		These may be of two main kinds which are best seen in the Amazon system where the ombrophilous lowland forests occupying the alluvial plains of the whitewater rivers are known as várzea forests, and the tropical evergreen peat forests occupying the floodable zones of the flwater rivers are known as Igapá forest.
		River-side or gallery forests tend to occupy the levées on many wet savanna rivers and Bonetto (1975) described the Paraná as a corridor by which the Amazonian forest is able to penetrate far to the south of its normal distribution.

		The modern study of rain forest hydrology has borne out his early convictions and given substance to Thai folklore which describes this hill region as the home of the Phiphannam, the 'spirit who shares water'.
		Unprotected, some mountain forest remains that historically has contained interesting species that might be in less accessible political areas further North of Thailand, and winter migrants.
		The third night is the charm as in short order the forest gives up an Oriental Bay-owl perched sideways and a female Gould's Frogmouth in the spotlight defending her territory with her unique call.
