Compost There is little or no published information about the regenera- tion of the drought-stricken and burnt forests; indeed there was little information made available at the time of the drought itself. There are now reports that over 600 sq. km of former natural forest land is being turned over to industrial timber plantations, mainly oi Albizia, Gmelina and Eucalyptus. At the height of the drought vast areas of forest appeared to be dead. Only the biggest trees, such as Koompassia excelsa, remained in leaf. By 1989, however, P. Burgess, a forester working in the region, noted that many of the dipterocarps were turning green once more. The areas affected by drought and fire have not been excised from Map partly because of a lack of detailed data, but also because regeneration appears to be quite possible if tlie forest is given an opportunity to recover. 151.
