Modelling of carbon sequestration potential in rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis) saplings and plantations in Malaysia / Engku Azlin Rahayu Engku Ariff [PDF]

, 2018
The climate change and global warming occurred due to excessive buildup of greenhouse gases (GHGs) especially CO2 in the atmosphere. In order to stabilize the GHGs, the forest has to be conserved because the terrestrial ecosystems are vital carbon sink ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Stretching the Habitat Envelope: Insectivorous Bat Guilds Can Use Rubber Plantations, but Need Understorey Vegetation and Forest Buffers

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Effects of land-cover change on insectivorous bat activity can be negative, neutral or positive, depending on foraging strategies of bats. In tropical agroforestry systems with high bat diversity, these effects can be complex to assess.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Rubber agroforestry systems in mature plantations in Phatthalung Province, Southern Thailand [PDF]

, 2020
Rubber-based agroforestry systems (RAS) can be characterized by the type of trees/shrubs and crops associated with the rubber trees. The present study objective was to identify and describe the RAS in mature plantations existing in Phatthalung province ...

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Some lines of research for improving productivity on rubber-based smallholdings in Cameroun [PDF]

, 2003
Cameroon currently plays a marginal role on the world natural rubber market. Yet the country, and particularly the as yet under-developed smallholder sector, offers great potential for developing rubber cultivation.
