Description: Das Projekt "Changes of Vegetation Biodiversity in relation with land use practices in some forest types of Myanmar" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Göttingen, Institut für Forstpolitik, Forstgeschichte und Naturschutz durchgeführt. In Myanmar, the need to provide adequate food for a rapid population growth has placed enormous pressure on existing productive land. Therefore, the forest margins, the peripheral areas bordering cultivated lands, are also brought under cultivation resulting in further deforestation of the tropical forests and often in drainage of wetland areas. Shifting cultivation is a form of agriculture adapted to upland areas where slopes are steep and soils poor. In such areas, the forest is cut to release nutrients from the resulting biomass to the soil and enhance crop growth. Within a few seasons, this temporary fertility is exhausted and new fields are cut. The objectives are to identify the vegetation biodiversity of the selected study areas and to obtain a quantitative assessment of forest cover changes in the study areas, also providing the dynamics of forest conversion in the region.
