Assessment of Carbon Stock at Oil Palm Plantation in Klias Peninsular West Coast of Sabah

The assessment of carbon stocks in oil palm plantation were carried out in the Klias Peninsular West Coast of Sabah. The geological setting of the oil palm plantation mainly consists of Crocker Formation and Quaternary Alluvium which in mainly composed of peat soil. The peat soil from 10 sites was collected for the carbon percentage values and physico-chemical analysis. The geophysical surveys were performed to measure the thickness of peat deposits and the water table, which influenced the value of carbon stocks. The geochemical analysis of the peat soil at 0.5m depth shows an acidic pH value... Mehr ...
