Lambir Forest Dynamics Plot Sarawak, Malaysia

The Lambir Hills Forest Dynamics Plot was initiated in 1991 in Lambir Hills National Park, Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) by the Sarawak Forest Department, CTFS/Harvard University, and Plant Ecology Laboratory of Osaka City University, Japan. Ehime and Kyoto Universities (Japan) are also close collaborators at the site. Lambir's mixed dipterocarp forest is characterized by high endemism, and with approximately 1,200 species found in the 52-ha plot contains possibly the richest diversity of tree species in the Old World. This high species count at the plot is partly due to the plot's location. The plot crosses an abrupt change in soil types that results in a more than 60% change of species composition within 50 meters.

兰比尔山森林动态样地（Lambir Hills Forest Dynamics Plot）于1991年由砂拉越林业部、CTFS/哈佛大学与日本大阪市立大学植物生态学实验室，在马来西亚婆罗洲砂拉越的兰比尔山国家公园内启动建立。日本爱媛大学与京都大学亦为该样地的紧密合作方。兰比尔山的混合龙脑香林以极高的物种特有性为显著特征，这片52公顷的样地内共记录有约1200个树种，可能拥有旧大陆范围内最为丰富的树木物种多样性。该样地如此可观的物种丰富度，部分源于其独特的地理位置：样地横跨土壤类型的急剧过渡带，使得在50米范围内，物种组成便可发生超过60%的更替。
