The local impacts of oil palm expansion in Malaysia

The emissions from land-use change associated with plantation expansion may be significant. Using land with low carbon stocks, such as grassland, for oil palm plantations, would result in a carbon gain, whereas the use of areas such as forests with higher carbon stocks would result in net emissions (Henson 2005). A new oil palm plantation may

FAO considers a plantation of trees established primarily for timber production to be forest and therefore does not classify natural forest conversion to plantation as deforestation (but still records it as a loss of natural forests).

Furthermore, much of the rainforest in Indonesia grows on carbon-rich peatland, the destruction of which adversely affects both biodiversity and the climate.
