Effect of temperature on land use changes from forest to oil palm in Sabah / Asma' Amalina Md Yusof

The oil palm plantation has often been accused as the cause of global warming. The impact of oil palm expansion has been particularly severe in tropical forest regions and oil palm plantation is expected to increase continuously over the next 10 or 20 years. The aim of this study is to analyses the...
