Carbon and Water Cycling in Two Rubber Plantations and a Natural Forest in Mainland Southeast Asia

Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences, 2022
Rubber plantations have rapidly replaced natural forests (NFs) in Mainland Southeast Asia, yet the relevant impacts on the terrestrial carbon cycle remain uncertain especially with an increase in drought frequency.

Conversion of rainforest to rubber plantations impacts the rhizosphere soil mycobiome and alters soil biological activity

Land Degradation & Development, 2022
In Southeast Asia and Asia, large swathes of rainforest have been converted to rubber plantations, with major consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Latest 30-m map of mature rubber plantations in Mainland Southeast Asia and Yunnan province of China: Spatial patterns and geographical characteristics

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2021
Knowledge of the location, area and extent of rubber plantations is a prerequisite for assessing their ecological and environmental impacts. Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) and Yunnan province (MSEA&YN) in China are globally important rubber-planting ...

Diversity begets diversity: Low resource heterogeneity reduces the diversity of nut‐nesting ants in rubber plantations

Insect Science, 2021
One of the most general patterns in ecology is the positive relationship between environmental heterogeneity and local diversity. On the one hand, increased resource heterogeneity provides more resources for diverse consumers in the community.

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 ...

Mechanism of methane uptake in profiles of tropical soils converted from forest to rubber plantations

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020
Land-use change modulates the balance between methane (CH4) oxidation by soil methanotrophs, and production by methanogens through changes in soil physical, chemical and biological properties.

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.

Can intercropping with the cash crop help improve the soil physico-chemical properties of rubber plantations?

Geoderma, 2019
Although rubber-based (Hevea brasiliensis) agroforestry systems are regarded as the best approach to improving the sustainability of rubber agriculture and environmental conservation, soil physico-chemical properties and their related interactions have ...

Hydrological consequences of natural rubber plantations in Southeast Asia

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Since the turn of the century, rubber plantations have been expanding their footprint across Southeast Asia in response to an increasing global demand for rubber products. Between 2000 and 2014, the area cultivated with rubber more than doubled.
