Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGrowth 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 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessment 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 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLand Degradation and Preventive Measures From the Perspective of the StakeholdersMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Nik Muhamad Majid, J. ShamshuddinLand degradation at the catchment scale in Iran is widespread, usually assumed to be accelerated by the activities of local inhabitants. Social issues such as low income, poverty and low level of welfare and education contribute to land degradation. A study was conducted to identify the causes of land degradation in Merek catchment, Iran and to propose appropriate measures to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 8,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessing Soil Fertility Status of Rehabilitated Degraded Tropical RainforestAiza Shaliha Jamaluddin, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.An assessment of forest rehabilitation program in relation to soil fertility status by using soil indices could provide fundamental information on soil suitability for species preferences and improve the effective technique for future rehabilitation program in tropical rainforests. This study was conducted in order to characterize the soil properties and identifying the soil fertility status of rehabilitated and secondary forests. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2013 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparison of Carbon and Selected Macronutrients in Forest-Floor Litter of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsMelvin Ku Kin Kin, Japar Sidik Bujang, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed et al.Problem statement: Forest rehabilitation with human assistance by species selection and management shortens the time needed to rehabilitate degraded land as compared to natural succession. Empirical data on litter nutrient contents of tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been established, however it is limited to rehabilitated degraded lands. The objective of this study was to determine contents of carbon … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesForest Structure Assessment of a Rehabilitated ForestRoland Kueh Jui Heng, Nik Muhamad Abd. Majid, Seca Gandaseca et al.Problem Statement: Forest structure assessment provides information on forest succession, dynamics, biodiversity and health which are important but only few information is available on rehabilitated forest. The objective of this study was to assess the forest structure of selected age stands at a rehabilitated forest situated in Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Sarawak Campus, Sarawak, Malaysia. Approach: Four 20×20) m plots … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 9,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUsing Orthosiphon stamineus B. for Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals in Soils Amended with Sewage SludgeArifin Abdu, Najihah Aderis, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Problem statement: Phytoremediation is a biological treatment where plants are used to remove pollutants from the environment to make them harmless. A study was conducted in a greenhouse at the Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia on the potential of Orthosiphon stamineus B. planted in sewage sludge for heavy metals uptake. The objective of this study was to evaluate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 8,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Clearing on Soil Carbon StorageAhmad Shukri Mat Nuri, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidAbstract: Problem Statement: Forest clearing in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest (TPSF) will affect forest soil carbon storage. Thus this study is essential to determine whether the effect of clearing of forest does to the nature of soil forest concentrating on soil carbon storage. The objectives of this study were to analyze carbon storage values in logged and clear cut TPSF … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,941 accessesView PDFCite
