Short description of research activities in CRC 990

  • CRC 990 Start up: "Soil water status and its adequacy of higher strata of vegetation in rainforest transformation system in relation to its rooting system and soil depth" from Nov. 2012 till March 2013 funded by CRC 990
  • "Performance of legume cover crops for conservation and water requirements of oil palm plantation at various slope gradient in Harapan Forest adjacent in Jambi" from July - November 2013 to extend the CRC 990 start up research funded by Decentralization Program of DIKTI (BOPTN).
  • "Soil water dynamics in oil palm and rubber plantations in relation to slope and vegetation cover" from December 2013 till May 2014 for extending the previous research with additional rubber plants at the areasupported by CRC 990-ABS Funds.
  • "Performance of legume cover crops for conservation and water requirements of oil palm plantation and rubber plantation at various slope gradient in Harapan Forest adjacent in Jambi" from June - November 2014 funded by Decentralization Program of DIKTI (BOPTN) to extend the previous CRC 990-ABS funding research.(in preparation)
