Because of their ability to produce latex for industrial applications rubber trees are grown intensively in large plantations Latex is harvested by bleeding off the bark generating a carbon
In Brazil after 25 to 30 years of rubber production when yield starts to drop rubber trees are felled and destined for firewood and charcoal despite the good mechanical properties and workability of the wood and relatively low production costs Wood with low starch content could be destined for the production of higher added value products with potential to spare deforestation of many

Rubber plantations are among the most important in the world s tropical regions They play a positive role in carbon sequestration and in delaying climate change supplying strategic resources of natural rubber NR and aiding in poverty alleviation and rural revitalisation This paper reviews six methods of research on carbon sinks in rubber plantations the biomass
Rubber seedlings smuggled out of Pará state in Brazil became the parent planting stock for all rubber plantations developed in present day Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries at the end of the 19 th century Rubber has since been planted in a number of tropical countries as a plantation crop
Rubber plantations in southeast Asia have grown at an unprecedented rate in recent decades leading to drastic changes in regional carbon storage To this end this study proposes a systematic approach for quantitatively estimating and assessing the impact of rubber expansions on regional carbon storage First using Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 satellite data the
Introduction Since the 20th century rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis plantations have been expanding rapidly throughout Southeast Asia [1 3] which currently supplies over 90% of the world s natural rubber [] While rubber tree planting in Southeast Asia prior to the 1990s was mainly confined to southern Thailand Malaysia and Indonesia the focus of plantation

Rubber plantation management involves the extensive application of chemical fertilizers herbicides fungicides and pesticides at different plant growth stages Manju et al 2015 As these management practices profoundly reduce or alter various EF such as carbon storage nutrient cycling and biodiversity Dislich et al 2017 reducing
Gains in latex yields from rubber plantations have been driven lately by development of high yielding clones and improved tapping strategies are these applicable to agroforestry systems too
While synthetic rubber made from fossil fuels accounts for the most of the rubber produced today rising demand for rubber overall drove the expansion of rubber plantation areas by million
Understanding the status and changes of plant diversity in rubber Hevea brasiliensis plantations is essential for sustainable plantation management in the context of rapid rubber expansion in the tropics but remains very limited at the continental this study we investigated plant diversity from 10 meter quadrats in 240 different rubber plantations in the six
