For all measures of diversity and conservation status, pine plantations were significantly impoverished relative to native forests, exurban areas, and thinned forests.
After reviewing the current status of industrial plantations and the types and levels of plantation subsidies in use, key economic and social issues are assessed with the intent of improving the design and targeting of subsidies.
Relatively high micronutrient concentrations are also required to maintain an optimum nutritional status in teak plantations (Fernández-Moya et al. 2013), although this has not been reported in other similar studies (Nwoboshi 1984; Totey 1992; Negi et al. 1995; Kumar et al. 2009).
However, the management status of the Larch plantation area chosen as the research site was similar to other surrounding private forests and was not highly managed, at least at the time of the experiment.
Many global and regional reports on the status of forests include plantations in their estimates of forest cover, but exclude forested areas in which humans live.
It is now up to ecologists to provide information on the biodiversity status of oil palm plantations and to investigate practices that may benefit biodiversity, the environment, the community and the industry alike.
