Abstract
The natural suitability of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) at Mae Yom National Park, Phrae Province, Thailand was investigated using logistic regression. The study identified the relationship between key physical and soil properties with the presence of teak at natural sites, and applied a geographic information system platform to identify potential natural sites of teak. Fourteen variables were included in the model, five of these were found to have a significant effect (p < 0.05). Elevation was the most significant topographic variable, whereas magnesium, organic matter, potassium, and calcium were the most significant soil variables. The site prediction had 91.8% accuracy for identifying areas with high, moderate, and low probabilities of being suitable natural habitats for teak. These areas covered 87.63, 244.33, and 163.54 km2, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Science and Management (JESAM) is an international scientific journal produced semi-annually by the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).
JESAM gives particular premium to manuscript submissions that employ integrated methods resulting to analyses that provide new insights in environmental science, particularly in the areas of:
environmental planning and management;
protected areas development, planning, and management;
community-based resources management;
environmental chemistry and toxicology;
environmental restoration;
social theory and environment; and
environmental security and management.
