The terrestrial forests in Malaysia are mostly dominated by trees from the Dipterocarpaceae family, hence, the term "dipterocarp forests".The dipterocarp forest occurs on dry land just above sea level to an altitude of about 900 metres. The term "dipterocarp" specifically refers to the fact that most of the largest trees in this forest belong to one plant family known as Dipterocarpaceae. It was so called because their fruits have seeds with two wings (di = two; ptero = wing; carp = seed). This type of forest can be classified according to altitude into lowland dipterocarp forest (LDF), up to 300 meters above sea level, and hill dipterocarp forest (HDF) found in elevation of between 300 and 750 meters above sea level, and the upper dipterocarp forests, from 750 to 1, 200 meters above sea level. However in Sarawak both the lowland and hill dipterocap forests are known as mixed-dipterocarp forest
