The comparison of modelling techniques for selected Genus Vatica in Peninsular Malaysia
Dipterocarps are one of the main forests present in Peninsular Malaysia. The dipterocarps tree was the source of timber as the trees are used in the making of timber based products. This makes it vulnerable to habitat loss. Ecological Niche Modeling (ENM) is widely used in conservation assessment be...

Dipterocarps are one of the main forests present in Peninsular Malaysia. The dipterocarps tree was the source of timber as the trees are used in the making of timber based products.

MAXENT requires locality data of the species and ecological variable which it will use to predict the possible distribution area of the species.
