Assessing of soil compaction on different land used in Bintulu, Sarawak
Assessing land uses/land cover-induced changes in soil properties from natural forests to farmland are essential for addressing the issues of agricultural landscape sustainability. A study was conducted in the rehabilitated forest (RF), secondary forest (SF), oil palm (OP) and rubber plantation (RP)...
