Species diversity, carbon stock of above ground biomass and biomass decomposition of secondary tropical forest in UNIMAS, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak

Tropical secondary forest extensively increasing as the forest area coverage widen up every year, which mainly caused by human activities (logging, land clearing, shifting cultivation). By the existence of secondary forest, it may helps in contributing to mitigate climate change effect due to its ri...
