ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND CARBON STOCK OF ACACIA MANGIUM STAND IN SABAH, MALAYSIA

This study aimed to estimate above and belowground carbon stock inAcacia mangiumstands of different silvicultural systems (planted and regeneration) at the Bengkoka Forest Plantation, Pitas, Sabah, Malaysia. Aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB), and soil organic carbon content (SOC) at depth of 30 cm were quantified. A comparison was done between the two different silvicultural systems ofAcacia mangium.A random systematic sampling method was used for conducting the forest inventory. Three circular plots of 0.25 ha were established in each of theAcaciamangiumsystems. Diameter... Mehr ...
