The study aims to study the effect of water quality and soil quality on carbon storage of Tenera palm oil in Na Phi Subdistrict, Mueang District, Trang Province. By comparing areas with 10 × 10 meters of water storage in each area, analysis of soil quality factors such as humidity, pH and main nutrient content (N, P, K) Includes estimates of carbon retention in oil palm trees.
The results showed higher moisture content in soil, pH and nutrients (N, P, K) than in waterless areas. The average moisture content in soil and waterless areas was 1.83% and 1.32%, pH in soil and 6.83%, and 6.83%, respectively. 60 In addition, the average N, P, K nutrients in the soil with water sources were 7.83 mg/L, 7.50 mg/L, 29.97 mg/L respectively, higher than the average 4.11 mg/L, 3.72 mg/L, 11. 44 mg/L respectively. In terms of carbon retention, oil palm trees in areas with water sources averaged 378 KgCO ₂eq, higher than 270 KgCO ₂eq, showing that water and soil quality, especially moisture and nutrient content, are directly related to the carbon retention capacity of Tenera palm trees.
