MS7-00
Title :
Plant carbon composition in relation to decomposition rates of various palm components in oil palm agroecosystem
Objectives :
1) To model the decomposition rates of palm components mathematically.
2) To obtain a simpler indirect laboratory method to estimate the decomposition rates of palm components.
3) To validate Century model(and other similar models) on decomposition rates of oil palm organic cmponents or organs.
