Abstract:<p>Tropical oil palm (OP) plantations are major emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), but there are management options, which may reduce these emissions, including increasing understory biomass. Managing the vegetation within and around plantations could potentially minimise environmental damage and maximise co-benefits such as soil protection, pest control and diversity. Such practices include creating reserves, buffer strips and management of vegetation in the plantations themselves. The impact … Show more
