The study on soil quality affecting carbon sequestration in rubber trees and teak trees in the Phu Khao Thong Forest Garden, Trang Province, had the following objectives: 1) To study the growth of rubber trees and teak trees in the Phu Khao Thong Forest Garden, Trang Province, 2) To study the carbon sequestration of rubber trees and teak trees in the Phu Khao Thong Forest Garden, Trang Province, and 3) To study how soil quality affects the carbon sequestration of rubber trees and teak trees in the Phu Khao Thong Forest Garden, Trang Province. The study found that the area where rubber trees and teak trees were planted had sandy loam soil with a granular structure that was compact. The soil’s pH was slightly acidic, and the soil temperature was similar across both areas. The soil moisture was high, and the mineral content in the soil around the teak trees was slightly higher than that around the rubber trees. The rubber trees had a greater average circumference and height than the teak trees, indicating better growth and a higher capacity for carbon sequestration.
