Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGrowth Performance, Biomass and Phytoextraction Efficiency of Acacia mangium and Melaleuca cajuputi in Remediating Heavy Metal Contaminated soilShibli Nik Mohd, Nik Muhamad Majid, Noor Azhar Mohamed Shazili, Arifin AbduHeavy metals are very toxic and soil contaminated with sewage sludge urgently need remediation in order to avoid related health hazards. Phytoremediation is a low cost and reliable technique to remediate heavy metal contamination. However phytoremediation using timber species was rarely reported and its efficiency was questionable. A field study was conducted to examine the efficiency of two timber species … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,407 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Melaleuca cajuputi as Heavy Metals Phytoremediator for Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilShibli Nik Mohd, Nik Muhamad Majid, Noor Azhar Mohamed Shazili, Arifin AbduIn 2011, total marine capture landings in Peninsular Malaysia decreased by 3.9% which amounted to 1,373,105 tonnes as compared to 1,428,881 tonnes in 2010. The decline is connected to marine pollution which mainly comes from land based sources. Coastal forests play an important role affecting the marine ecosystem health and need to be conserved as a buffer to minimize pollution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,463 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePredict Location(s) of Apis dorsata Nesting Sites Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System in Melaleuca ForestiM. M. Saberioon, M. Mardan, L. Nordin et al.Problem statement: The Asiatic Giant honeybees (Apis dorsata) are seasonally abounded throughout the upland and lowland rainforests in South East Asia. The colonies of A. dorsata are found to nest in aggregates on tall bee trees (tree emergent) in the open, as well as, nesting singly in concealed locations when nesting low, especially in the submerged forest of Melaleuca cajuputi … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,603 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDF Cite
