Popis: Although an estimation of forest biomass is essential for the development of a carbon storage baseline in the ''Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Deg- radation in Developing Countries'' scheme, few have been conducted in logged-over rain forests of Southeast Asia. We measured the aboveground and belowground biomass in logged-over mixed dipterocarp forests growing on an infertile soil with bleached white sand (Sabal) and on a clay and nutrient-rich soil (Balai Ringin) in Sarawak, Malaysia. We established four 0.5-ha plots on each site and calcu- lated the biomass. Basal area and stand density of large trees (diameter at breast height, DBH C 10 cm) were
