Oil Palm Plantations: Effects on Ecosystem Functions
Task 5: Look at the effect of oil palm plantations on each ecosystem function.
If you think oil palm plantations have a positive effect, give a “+” sign
If you think they have a negative effect, give a “-” sign
click on the box to switch between “+” and “-” sign
Figure 5: Net effects on ecosystem functions of Oil palm plantations. Net effects do not imply that all effects on a given ecosystem function are positive or negative, but that the majority or most-dominant effects are in the given direction. Estimates of net effect direction and correlation are qualitative and are based on the synthesis of literature presented in Dislich et al. [8]. Adapted from Meijaard et al. [2].
