Estimation of total carbon pools and fluxes in a selective logging forest area in Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia by Nurul Syakilah Suhaili

“…The size for each plot was 0.36 ha (60 m x 60 m) and each plot was replicated four times resulting in a total of 12 plots. Forest inventory was done to measure the diameter at breast height (DBH) of the standing trees with DBH of more than 10 cm while soil sampling at four different depths (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-50 cm, and 50-100 cm) was done for soil analysis. …”
