Research ArticleOpen accessAssessing of Soil Compaction and Relations to Soil Fertility on Different Land Used in Bintulu, SarawakAizul Azfar Zulkeefli, Md. Suzauddula, Md. Rezaul Karim et al.Assessing land uses-induced changes in soil properties from natural forests to farmland are indispensable for addressing the complications in terms of agricultural landscape sustainability. A study was conducted in Rehabilitated Forest (RF), Oil Palm (OP), Secondary Forest (SF) and Rubber Plantation (RP) at University Putra Malaysia in order to examine the results of soil densification on soil characteristics and fertility … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2021 · 7,432 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThe Fertility Status of Soils at Rehabilitated Degraded Land in Universiti Putra Malaysia Planted with Pinus caribaea and Swietenia macrophyllaMohammad Nazrin Abdul Malik, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Singh Karam et al.Soil fertility (both physical and chemical) is one of the important factors limiting plant growth. So, the fertility of the soils should be determined before growing crops and after the establishment of forest rehabilitation. A study was conducted to determine the fertility status of soils at rehabilitated degraded land in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The main objective was to compare the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,280 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Mixed Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers Application on Soil Properties and the Growth of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) Cultivated on Bris SoilsMohd Hadi Akbar Basri, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop et al.The demand for kenaf in the world increases rapidly by the years. Cultivation of the crop in Malaysia is a challenging task, especially when kenaf is grown on sandy soils with low fertility, such as the BRIS Soils (Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales). A pot study was conducted in a glasshouse at Universiti Putra Malaysia to evaluate the potential of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 28 Oct 2013 · 8,779 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessment of Heavy Metals Uptake and Translocation by Aquilaria malaccensis Planted in Soils Containing Sewage SludgeKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Increase in human population has resulted in an enormous growth in the volume of wastewater. The conventional methods of sewage sludge disposal, that is the by-product of wastewater treatment, are costly and not environment-friendly. An ideal way for sewage sludge management is by using it as a soil amendment in agricultural land due to sewage sludge’s high organic matter content. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,085 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessing 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessHeavy Metal Uptake and Translocation by Dipterocarpus verrucosus from Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Karam Singh et al.Sewage sludge or biosolids is the solid waste that has been left after wastewater is treated in a domestic wastewater treatment facility. The most common way of sludge disposal is to dispose it on the land, sea or air (incineration). However, these methods are not environment-friendly, costly and time consuming that requires expertise and knowledge. An ideal way to manage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2013 · 7,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Land Use Practices on the Organic Carbon Content, Cation Exchange Capacity and Aggregate Stability of Soils in the Catchment ZonesMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop, Nik Muhammad MajidProblem statement: Land use practice leads to changes in the physico-chemical properties of soils, such as Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and Soil Aggregate Stability (SAS) that cause soil erosion. Approach: Merek catchment, Iran suffers from land degradation due to poor land use practice. A study was carried out with the objectives: (i) to determine soil nutrient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 25 Oct 2011 · 8,726 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessing 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessComparing 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessUsing 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 PDF Cite
