© T. M. Whitmore Southeast Asian Climates Recall -- Climate regimes  Tropical wet/dry and equatorial climates (Af, Aw, Am) — warm year around in all places (except very highlands)

© T. M. Whitmore Vegetation and soils Vegetation  Inland in Indochina  Semi-deciduous forest & savanna  Equatorial rainforest most everywhere else Soils: high temps & much rain =>  Poor soils in most places  Exceptions to volcanic slopes in Indonesia and alluvial soils in river valleys & deltas

© T. M. Whitmore Puzzle of equatorial rainforests Much of the more moist area originally under “classical” tropical rainforest Huge trees; much biodiversity; high biomass/area Yet — all this on poor soils mostly — how? Commercial threats increasing

© T. M. Whitmore Agriculture Quality soils on recent (geologically) volcanic ash  Sumatra, Java, and other volcanic islands Quality soils also in delta and flood plain alluvium  Along the major rivers of Indochina (e.g., Irrawaddy, Chao- Phraya, Mekong, Red) Poorer soils most everywhere else

© T. M. Whitmore Dilemma of agriculture in poor-soil equatorial rainforests 1st strategy is shifting cultivation within the rainforest – in low density areas (highlands in Indochina & elsewhere) 2nd strategy is modification of the landscape into intensive agriculture — paddy rice (e.g., Java) 3rd strategy is commercial plantation agriculture — growth of special “cash” crops for commerce and usually export (e.g., Malaysia)
