Implication

Factorial experiment evaluated the effects of fertilization and management zones on soil carbon, suggesting sustainable practices for oil palm cultivation.

Key Points

High fertilization increased decomposition rates by 28%, but reduced soil carbon levels compared to low fertilization.
Decomposition constants ranged from 0.0180 to 0.0258 week?¹, indicating variability based on fertilization and management zones.
Frond stack zones showed 35% faster decomposition rates while maintaining higher soil carbon stocks.
The regression model explained 73% of the variance in decomposition based on soil and frond C/N ratios.
