Abstract

Investigation of soil physical properties under Shorea peltata sym in Tengaroh Forest Reserve, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Abstract: Soil properties of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers. However, empirical data on soil characteristics under rehabilitation program are still limited or even lacking. A study was conducted to characterize the soil physical properties under different densities of Shorea peltata species. The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between Shorea peltata species and soil physical properties. Twenty observational plots, 50 X 50 m namely, rare (A), low (B), moderate (C) and high (D) densities were established. Each plot was divided into 10 subplots. Five subplots were selected randomly. Soil samples were collected using auger at 0 - 15 cm, and core-ring at 0 - 10 cm depth. The results show that there was a significant difference among the groups. Analysis of the relationship between soil physical properties and site variables showed that moisture content, bulk density, particle density, silt and clay were the important factors in the distribution of Shorea peltata species in the study sites.

Keywords: Shorea peltata sym, Soil moisture content, Bulk density, Porosity, soil compaction.

Mersing-Malezya ormanındaki farklı sıklıkta Shorea peltata Sym. altında toprağın fiziksel özelliklerinin araştırılması

Özet: Güneydoğu Asya'da tropikal yağmur ormanlarının toprak özellikleri çeşitli araştırmacılar tarafından araştırılmıştır. Ancak, rehabilitasyon programı kapsamında toprak özelliklerine ait ampirik veriler hala sınırlıdır ve hatta eksiktir. Bu araştırmanın amacı Malezya’daki Johor Bahru, Tenggaroh Ormanı Rezerv Alanında, farklı sıklıktaki Shorea peltata ile toprak fiziksel özellikleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Yirmi adet 50 X 50 m boyutunda (A) nadir, (B) düşük, (C) orta ve (D) yüksek sıklıkta olmak üzere deneme alanları oluşturulmuştur. Her deneme alanında 10 alt parsel ayrılmış ve bunların içinden 5 alt parsel rastgele seçilmiştir. Toprak örnekleri sonda ile 0 – 15 cm derinlikten alınarak 0 – 10 cm örneklenmiştir. Toprağın fiziksel özelliklerinin sonuçları gruplar arasında önem düzeyinde anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Toprağın fiziksel özelliklerinin arasındaki ilişki (korelasyon) için analiz edilen nem içeriği, hacim ağırlığı, tane yoğunluğu, toz ve kil Shorea peltata türlerinin dağılımında önemli faktörler olduğunu göstermektedir.

Anahtar kelimeler: Shorea peltata sym, toprak nem içeriği, hacim ağırlığı, gözeneklilik, toprak sıkışması
