Systematic review of effects on biodiversity from oil palm production (2014, background): “[47] Birds Species richness and abundance Timed point-counts along transects 5 sites per habitat, 12 sampling points at 250 m intervals at each site.”
Palm oil-based biofuels and sustainability in southeast Asia: A review of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand (2014, background): “Unless oil palm cultivation techniques used to expand production to these areas become more conducive to supporting habitats and enhancing biodiversity, displacing biologically rich forested areas in neighboring countries makes little environmental sense [109,110].”
Reliable, verifiable and efficient monitoring of biodiversity via metabarcoding. (2013, background): “To the north, east and south of the US-MFR are oil palm plantations, where sampled sites had mature palms (20-30 years old) at a density of 100 trees per ha (Edwards et al. 2010).”
