Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes the major anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) more than 70 of total (GHG) emissions. Adaptation methods are needed to reduce GHG emissions and forest can play an important role in sequestering carbon to mitigate climate change. Carbon sequestration occurs in forest and soils primarily through fixation of atmospheric C by photosynthesis. Experimental plots under the FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) study was set up at the Jengka Research Station in Pahang Malaysia to investigate the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on the forest ecosystem. The nutrient needs for plant growth are expected to increase in response to changes in CO2 and temperature and the soil provides these nutrients for plant growth. This study provides information on changes in soil properties after two years exposure to carbon dioxide emissions. Increases in soil pH moisture nitrogen organic carbon and exchangeable potassium were observed. While the levels of available phosphorus and exchangeable aluminum decreased after this area was enriched with CO2 gas.
