متن کاملImpacts of Current and Projected Oil Palm Plantation Expansion on Air Quality Over Southeast Asia
Over recent decades oil palm plantations have rapidly expanded across Southeast Asia (SEA). According to the 10 United Nations, oil palm production in SEA increased by a factor of 3 from 1995 to 2010. We investigate the impacts of current (2010) and future (2020) oil palm expansion in SEA on surface-atmosphere exchange and the resulting air quality in the region. For this purpose, we use satell...

Here, we evaluate impacts of oil palm plantation development on land cover, carbon flux, and agrarian community lands in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. With a spatially explicit land change/carbon bookkeeping model, parameterized using high-resolution satellite time ser...
