TAILIEUCHUNG - ABOVEGROUND CARBON STOCK ESTIMATES OF RUBBER (Hevea brasiliensis) PLANTATION AT MAKILING FOREST RESERVE

The young alluvial soils show little profile development although they are sometimes stratified. With the exception of about 800 ha of sand to loamy sand soils in one area, textures vary from sandy loam to uniform clay, with the finer textures tending to occur toward the mangrove and in the flood-prone area between the Meme and Mokoko Rivers. Although there is evidence of flooding and seasonal waterlogging from several other rivers that traverse the plain, these soils rarely show evidence of strongly reducing conditions within m of the surface. The soils are medium to strongly acid with a poor. | ABOVEGROUND CARBON STOCK ESTIMATES OF RUBBER Hevea brasiliensis PLANTATION AT MAKILING FOREST Reserve ARTURO SA. CASTILLO and TOMAS D. REYES JR.

The World s forest is shrinking by and converted to other land uses every year. In fact according to FAO 2003 23 260 km2 of forests are destroyed per year in Southeast Asia. Problems leading to poverty rise are even exacerbated by human-aggravated natural disasters. Plantations intended not for timber but for other purposes such as fruits and seed sources and other non-timber products one of which is latex production have valuable role in relation to climate change. Similar with the forests plantations can be sources and sinks of carbon. Its non-use value carbon sequestration for instance sometimes outweighs natural forests. Much of the carbon sequestration according to Lasco and Pulhin 2003 is attributed to the existence of tree plantations with a sequestration rate of up to 15 t ha-1 .
