Soil Quality and Air Quality Affecting Insect Species Diversity at Thung Khai Botanical Garden, Trang Province,” aimed to investigate the effects of soil and air quality on insect species diversity in a tropical rainforest and a modified peat swamp forest within the botanical garden. The study examined soil properties, including structure, pH, texture, color, compaction, and temperature, as well as air temperature and relative humidity in designated sampling plots. Insect species diversity was systematically surveyed and compared between both forest types.
