11: Use of drone RGB imagery to quantify indicator variables of tropical-forest-ecosystem degradation and restoration  

ABSTRACT: Recognizing initial degradation levels is essential to planning effective measures to restore tropical forest ecosystems. However, measuring indicators of forest degradation is...

12: The road to recovery: a synthesis of outcomes from ecosystem restoration in tropical and sub-tropical Asian forests

Abstract: Current policy is driving renewed impetus to restore forests to return ecological function, protect species, sequester carbon and secure livelihoods. Here we assess the contribution of...

13: The framework species method—harnessing natural regeneration to restore tropical forest ecosystems

Abstract: The framework species method (FSM) restores forest ecosystems by densely planting open sites, close to natural forest, with a group of woody species, characteristic of the reference...

14: Young Forest Restorers—Action Book

This user-friendly booklet guides school children through a series of hands-on forest-restoration activities from seed collection and germination to growing trees in nurseries, tree planting,...

15: Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Imagery to Monitor Progress of Early Forest Ecosystem Restoration in an Opencast Mine

ABSTRACT: Monitoring forest restoration is essential for improving and advancing restoration techniques, but human-based monitoring is costly as it requires intensive labour in the field. Although...

16: Bar-HRM for Species Confirmation of Native Plants Used in Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Plant species confirmation is a crucial step in using native plant species for forest restoration. To enhance this, a hybrid method of DNA barcoding and high-resolution melting analysis...

17: Climate niche modelling for mapping potential distributions of four framework tree species: Implications for planning forest restoration in Tropical and Subtropical Asia

ABSTRACT: Selecting tree species to plant for forest ecosystem restoration is critical but problematic. Knowing tree species’ climatic niches can help, but such information is limited for most...

18: Exploring the Environment & Nature of Chiang Mai: a Teachers' Handbook—ENGLISH VERSION
