چکیده    This study investigated the seasonal cambial activity in dipterocrpus costulatus trees with different range of stem diameter at breast height (dbh). samples from main stem of d. costulatus with dbh 15 cm and 25 cm growing in natural lowland dipterocarp rainforest of west peninsular malaysia were collected for this purpose. collections of cambial samples were carried out in 2-month intervals from august 2010 till june 2011. cambial activity was determined by counting the numbers of cambial and expansion zone cell layers towards the outer sapwood. a greater number of cell layers indicated greater cambial activity. results showed that the cambium of trees with dbh 15 cm were influenced by the amount of rainfall. however,cambium of trees with dbh 25 cm showed relatively less sensitivity to rainfall. dipterocrpus costulatus showed active and inactive phases during the observation period. thus,this study has proven that this species did not grow continually at the same rate in natural forests. instead it showed periods of alternate active and inactive growth. © forest research institute malaysia.
