The research programme at Danum Valley is wide ranging and involves many leading universities and research institutes. By virtue of its location within a commercial forest concession of known management and land-use history, Danum Valley is one of the leading sites anywhere in the humid tropics where the effects of forest disturbance through timber harvesting, conversion to plantation and rainforest rehabilitation can be investigated.
Individual research projects have included many aspects of the ecological and environmental sciences, often within the broad themes of human-associated and natural environmental change and how these may impact upon long-term rainforest dynamics, biodiversity and hydrological systems. Field-based research at Danum is supported by research grids and plots in both primary and logged forest, an extensive trail network, canopy platforms and advanced long-term climate, atmospheric and hydrological monitoring facilities. For further information on any aspect of the research programme and for advice on project planning and the research approval process please email info@searrp.org. |
