Site Description
|
|
| |
Two-thirds of the island formerly consisted of peatswamp forest , but some of this has been cleared for townships, road construction and by logging operations. The greater part of these forests consists of a stunted and species-poor type, known in Southeast Asia as "padang" forest. This forest type is characteristic of very deep, nutrient-poor peat. A further 8% of the island formerly consisted of mangroves, nipah swamp and mixed saline swamps. There is an attractive lake, Danau Tanjung Padang, on the island.
Principal vegetation: 3,000 ha of peatswamp forest. |
