| Summary: | Climatic elements play important roles in the growth of plants. The aims of this study were to determine correlation and
relationship between plant growth and climatic elements (rainfall, rainy days, temperature, relative humidity, and solar
radiation) in a secondary forest of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Sarawak, Malaysia. The plant growth was
indicated by diameter at breast height (DBH) of some selected tree species. The DBH increment of 30 selected trees
which consisted of nine species (Acacia mangium, Cratoxylum arborescens, Cratoxylum glaucum, Endospermum
diadenum, Euodia glabra, Macaranga gigantea, Macaranga triloba, Vernonia arborea, and Vitex pubescens) was
recorded monthly through the use of Series 5 Manual Band Dendrometer for a period of 1 year. The result showed that
increments of several selected species were positively and negatively correlated to one or more climatic elements. The
relationship between DBH increment of E. diadenum and climate elements were significant. |
