Malaria-associated rubber plantations in Thailand

open access: yesTravel 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.

Soil Health Impacts of Rubber Farming: The Implication of Conversion of Degraded Natural Forests into Monoculture Plantations

open access: yesAgriculture (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]

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

A meta-review of remote sensing for rubber plantations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation
The 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 ...
