Jungle rubber facilitates the restoration of degraded soil of an existing rubber plantation

Journal of Environmental Management, 2021
Conversion of forest to rubber plantation is one of the most common land-use change in the humid tropical region. It is one of the fastest expanding farms that lead to various socioenvironmental issues. We investigated the effect of this land-use change on soil physico-chemical properties by surveying different succession stage rubber plantations ...

Decreased inorganic N supply capacity and turnover in calcareous soil under degraded rubber plantation in the tropical karst region

Geoderma, 2021
Investigating soil inorganic nitrogen (N) supply and availability can guide soil improvement of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations in tropical regions, but the mechanisms controlling the inorganic N supply remain unknown.

Diversified land conversion deepens understanding of impacts of rapid rubber plantation expansion on plant diversity in the tropics.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Understanding the status and changes of plant diversity in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations is essential for sustainable plantation management in the context of rapid rubber expansion in the tropics, but remains very limited at the continental ...

The drivers of soil bacterial communities in rubber plantation at local and geographic scales

Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, 2020
According to traditional biogeographic theory, historical contingency can influence soil microbial communities. Thus, we ask: are historical contingencies (soil profiles and geographic sampling locations), or other factors (seasonal changes and soil ...

Seasonal and height dynamics of volatile organic compounds in rubber plantation: Impacts on ozone and secondary organic aerosol formation.

Science of the Total Environment
Rubber trees emit a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including isoprene, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes, as part of their natural metabolism.

L-band SAR for estimating aboveground biomass of rubber plantation in Java Island, Indonesia

Geocarto International, 2020
This article discusses an experiment on the estimation of rubber tree biomass using L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), to support recent efforts to include trees outside forest in global biomass and carbon accounting.

Variations in Plantation Sheet Rubber

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1932
Abstract An examination of the samples of sheet rubber collected at a recent Exhibition discloses a high degree of variation in the vulcanization properties of the rubber. Similar variations in the normal produce of first class estates are recorded.
