Abstract
The total land area of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is 46.3 million ha (Mha), with about 33 Mha covered by closed natural forest. The forests of PNG are structurally diverse and complex, ranging from dense lowland tropical forests (Figure 1) to montane forests up to 4,000 m (Figure 2). They have been subject to limited scientific investigation.
