Forest compartments 324C and 325<br />

As predicted by the desk analysis, no indicator species were found in these forest<br />

compartments. The field surveys c<strong>on</strong>firmed that these forest compartments do not c<strong>on</strong>tain<br />

habitat suitable for any of the indicator species.<br />

3.2.4.1 Gymnosperms<br />

Surveys to locate key species of Gymnosperm were c<strong>on</strong>ducted in three forest compartments.<br />

Gymnosperms of high value for c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong> were found in all of them (see Map 12). The<br />

following paragraphs detail the occurrence of Gymnosperms in each of the compartments<br />

surveyed which are summarised in Table 10.<br />

Owing to time c<strong>on</strong>straints, the team was not able to survey forest compartments 333A, 333B<br />

and 336 as planned. However, when travelling to forest compartment 331 they were able to<br />

survey forest compartments 326 and 327. Staff of D<strong>on</strong> Du<strong>on</strong>g Forest Company reported that<br />

forest compartment 318 supports a populati<strong>on</strong> of Fokienia hodginsii and three standing Pinus<br />

dalatensis, and forest compartment 333A supports a stand of Nageia wallichiana distributed<br />

over three hectares (the diameter at breast height of some of these trees is reported to be 50 to<br />

60 cm).<br />

Forest Compartment 326<br />

This forest compartment supports selectively logged broadleaved evergreen forest. Four<br />

indicator species were recorded in this forest compartment, namely Dacrycarpus imbricatus,<br />

Dacrydium elatum, Nageia wallichiana and Podocarpus neriifolius. Just <strong>on</strong>e sapling of<br />

Nageia wallichiana was recorded, at 11°44’0.0”N 108°35’58”E, 1,231 m elevati<strong>on</strong>, and <strong>on</strong>ly<br />

<strong>on</strong>e Dacrydium elatum was found, at 11°42’55”N 108°35’15”E, 1,234 m elevati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Dacrycarpus imbricatus was found more comm<strong>on</strong>ly than either of the two preceeding<br />

species, although individuals were highly scattered. A number of Podocarpus neriifolius<br />

(diameter at breast height of most trees was approximately 20 cm) were found, similarly<br />

scattered throughout suitable habitat.<br />
