Opis

Explores the ecology of rubber plantations in the context of carbon management in view of climate change. It provide an in-depth study of the carbon stock and sequestration potentiality of rubber plantations and shows a biomass estimating model that can be used in future study of non-harvesting biomass estimation for a variety of plants.
