Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparison 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 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparing 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 · 8,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDifferences in Soil Physical and Chemical Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsM. H. Akbar, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The soil properties of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers; however empirical data on soil characteristics under rehabilitation program are still limited or even lacking. This research is important to determine the soil physical and chemical properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land 19 years after planting with various indigenous species in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 12,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSelected Soil Morphological, Mineralogical and Sesquioxide Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsB. T. Saga, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers. However empirical data on soil characteristics under degraded forest land in tropical rain forest and rehabilitated program are limited. A study was conducted to evaluate the soil morphology, mineralogical and sesquioxide properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land (19 years after it was planted with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Converting Secondary Forest on Tropical Peat Soil to Oil Palm Plantation on Carbon StorageCh’ng Huck Ywih, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Peat has been identified as one of the major groups of soils found in Malaysia. Sarawak as the largest state in Malaysia has the biggest reserve of peat-land. There are about 1.5 million ha of peat-land in Sarawak, which are relatively under developed. As is the case with any plant, oil palm trees do sequester carbon as they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOrganic Matter, Carbon and Humic Acids in Rehabilitated and Secondary Forest SoilsLee Yit Leng, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem Statement: Tropical rainforests cover about 19.37 million ha (60%) of Malaysia’s total area and about 8.71 million ha can be found in Sarawak, Malaysia. Excessive logging, mining and shifting cultivation contribute to deforestation in Sarawak. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Quantify soil Organic Matter (SOM), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Humic Acids (HA) in rehabilitated and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAssessing 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 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Converting Secondary Tropical Peat Swamp Forest into Oil Palm Plantation on Selected Peat Soil Physical PropertiesMohd Suffian Firdaus, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: The conversion of forest land into oil palm plantation is considered to be one of the causes of soil degradation and loss of tropical land forest in Southeast Asia. The objective of this study was to compare selected peat soil physical properties of secondary tropical peat swamp forest and oil palm plantation to determine the effect of forest … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
