Four treatment experiments in pots were established, including the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 Dec 2024 · 5,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects 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 · 8,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Selected Soil Chemical Properties of Two Different Mangrove Forests in SarawakEmpi Rambok, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Despite few studies of forest health and environmental conditions of mangrove forest in Sarawak, the data was not sufficient to facilitate baseline data and direct comparison of mangrove forest health obtained for different location of mangrove forest in Sarawak. On this regard, determination of contemporary mangrove soil condition was essential to addressing mangrove forest for forest health, carbon … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 9,648 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 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
