Study Dipterocarpaceae canopy and carbon sequestration in Thung Khai, Trang. Assess air quality and focus on specific species: Dipterocarpus alatus, Shorea roxburghii, Cotylelobium lanceolatum, Dipterocarpus baudii, and Parashorea stellata.The study measures Dipterocarpaceae canopy and carbon sequestration by assessing tree trunk circumference and height. Larger and taller trees with bigger trunks demonstrate robust growth and higher carbon sequestration, while smaller ones exhibit less complete growth and lower carbon sequestration capacity.
