Variation of Soil Bacterial Communities in a Chronosequence of Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis) Plantations [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Regarding rubber tree plantations, researchers lack a basic understanding of soil microbial communities; specifically, little is known about whether or not soil microbial variation is correlated with succession in these plantations.

Pararamosis: Disease of the Rubber Plantations. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2021 ABSTRACTPararamosis is a medical condition, described in the latex extracting areas of the Amazon (rubber tree regions), resulting from contact with the caterpillar of the Premolis semirufa moth. The disease can present itself in an acute form—similarly to other erucisms (injuries caused by moth larvae in humans)—or in a chronic form, typically ...

Malaria-associated rubber plantations in Thailand
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2013 Rubber forestry is intentionally used as a land management strategy. The propagation of rubber plantations in tropic and subtropic regions appears to influence the economical, sociological and ecological aspects of sustainable development as well as human well-being and health.

Agriculture (Switzerland), 2020 High revenues from rubber latex exports have led to a rapid expansion of commercial rubber cultivation and, as a consequence, the conversion of different land use types (e.g., natural forests) into rubber plantations, which may lead to a decrease in soil

Predictors of malaria-association with rubber plantations in Thailand. [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2012 Abstract Background The national Global Fund-supported malaria (GFM) program in Thailand, which focuses on the household-level implementation of vector control via insecticide-treated nets (ITNs)/long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) combined with indoor residual spraying (IRS), has been combating malaria risk ...

Early identification of immature rubber plantations using Landsat and Sentinel satellite images
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and GeoinformationEarly identification of rubber plantations holds significant importance for both optimal plantation management and scientific studies. Even though remote sensing techniques for mapping rubber plantations have evolved considerably since the 2000s, current

A meta-review of remote sensing for rubber plantations
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and GeoinformationThe rapid expansion of rubber plantations has led to significant ecological impacts, including deforestation and reduced carbon storage capacity, such as rubber-induced 4.1 million ha of forest loss in Southeast Asia (SEA). Remote sensing, essential for monitoring rubber expansion and supporting initiatives like REDD+ and EU deforestation regulations ...

Main drivers of plant diversity patterns of rubber plantations in the Greater Mekong Subregion [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is one the global biodiversity hotspots. However, the diversity has been seriously threatened due to environmental degradation and deforestation, especially by expansion of rubber plantations. Yet, little is known about
