Carbon absorption control model of oil palm plantation

Among the largest and growing oil palm industries, Malaysia plays an important role in the world’s oil market. The contribution of the palm plantation in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere is also considerable thought, it is rarely studied. The role of the plantation in balancing carbon dioxide is...

description Among the largest and growing oil palm industries, Malaysia plays an important role in the world’s oil market. The contribution of the palm plantation in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere is also considerable thought, it is rarely studied.
