Rubber latex is extracted from rubber trees. The economic life of rubber trees in plantations is around 32 years, with up to 7 years being an immature phase and about 25 years of productive phase. The soil requirement is well-drained, weathered soil consisting of laterite, lateritic types, sedimentary types, nonlateritic red or alluvial soils.

2024年7月16日 · Rubber plantations play a crucial role in the global economy as they are a significant source of natural Rubber production. By following these Rubber plantation steps for beginners, you will be equipped with valuable strategies to help you control the challenges and maximize your Rubber plantation’s yield.

2021年11月20日 · Our specific objectives were to (i) review the status of rubber plantations across the world based on FAO data; (ii) outline visible differences between rubber plantations and forests; (iii) assess the impact of rubber plantation on EF, including AGB, BGB, litter mass, litter decomposition, SOC sequestration, soil respiration, and biodiversity ...

2023年10月18日 · With more than 4 million hectares of forest loss for rubber since 1993 (at least 2 million hectares since 2000) and more than 1 million hectares of rubber plantations established in Key...

Rubber plantations that are larger in size and remotely located have a higher probability of being linked to forest loss and degradation. The global rubber price can act as a significant driver of bo...

2015年9月1日 · We show that rubber has been planted into increasingly sub-optimal environments. Currently, 72% of plantation area is in environmentally marginal zones where reduced yields are likely.

2021年7月10日 · Rubber plantations have increased significantly under unprecedented economic growth in tropical areas, which leads to soil degradation and thereby alters soil hydrological processes.

Drawing from country experiences (with rubber and other plantations), we propose a range of measures towards sustainable rubber development that could bring together various actors and public and private partnerships.

2023年6月1日 · To encourage the reconversion of rubber plantations back to close-to-nature rainforests, we developed a theoretical combined market and government payment system. To evaluate the potential impacts of the system, we carried out a simulation study from 2020 to 2050 in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China.

2016年2月23日 · On the basis of our findings, we conclude that the rapid expansion of rubber plantations into higher elevations, steeper terrain, and into nature reserves (where most of the remaining forests of Xishuangbanna are located) poses a serious threat to biodiversity and environmental services while not producing the expected economic returns.
