Rubber, rubber and rubber: How 75 years of successive rubber plantation rotations affect topsoil quality?

Land Degradation & Development, 2022
AbstractRubber tree plantations (Hevea brasiliensis) cover large areas in the tropics. In historical producing regions like South Thailand, rubber has been planted by smallholders for three successive rotations lasting a total of 75 years. Despite possible consequences on topsoil, the long‐term impacts of repeated rubber plantations on soil quality ...

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

Agriculture, 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

Food Preferences of the Rubber Plantation Litter Beetle,Luprops tristis, a Nuisance Pest in Rubber Tree Plantations [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2009
Massive invasion of the litter dwelling beetle, Luprops tristis Fabricius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), numbering about 0.5 to 4 million per residential building following summer showers, and their prolonged stay in a state of dormancy, make them an extreme nuisance in rubber tree plantation belts of the Western Ghats in south India.

Short-Term Evapotranspiration Forecasting of Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) Plantations in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China

Agronomy, 2023
Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations have high water consumption through evapotranspiration, which can contribute to water scarcity. In addition, there is a lack of spatial observation data and estimation methods for evapotranspiration (ET) for rubber
