The conversion of lowland tropical forests to oil palm plantations is known to reduce the amount of soil carbon and nitrogen. However, this has been criticised as the plantations also contribute to a net gain of the soil carbon (C) stock. In this study, carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes techniques...
