171: Research needs for restoring tropical forests in Southeast Asia for wildlife conservation: framework species selection and seed propagation

ABSTRACT: Some governments in Southeast Asia, such as those of Thailand and Vietnam, have clear policies to restore large areas of degraded land to native forest. However, knowledge needed for the...

172: Testing framework tree species for restoring biodiversity on degraded forestland in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: The framework species method of forest restoration is designed to restore diverse forest ecosystems on degraded forestland for biodiversity conservation of environmental protection. It...

173: Reaping the rewards of reforestation

Although rapidly growing human populations make continued tropical destruction and the accompanying loss of biodiversity seem inevitable, Hmong hill-tribe villagers in the north of Doi Suthep-Pui...

174: Selecting Superior Parent Trees for Forest Restoration Programs, Maximizing Performance whilst Maintaining Genetic Diversity

ABSTRACT: The framework species method of forest restoration addresses the serious problem of tropical deforestation by planting selected tree species that accelerate the natural processes of...

175: Propagation and Growth of Potential Framework Tree Species for Forest Restoration

ABSTRACT: One of the current major problems in Thailand is deforestation. Deforestation causes depletion of soil, land, water and biological resources (especially loss of biodiversity). Restoring...

176: Factors Affecting Growth of Wildlings in the Forest and Nurturing Methods in Nursery

ABSTRACT: Forest restoration by planting nursery-raised seedling stock is relatively expensive. There are many technical problems involved in seedling production from seeds. Transplanting tree...

177: Increasing day-length induces spring flushing of tropical dry forest trees in the absence of rain

In many conspecific trees of >50 species highly synchronous bud break with low inter-annual variation was observed during the late dry season, around the spring equinox, in semideciduous tropical...

178: Forest restoration planting in northern Thailand

Deforestation is one of the most serious threats to biodiversity in developing countries. It causes floods, soil erosion and disease (owing to the loss of organisms that help to control vector...

179: Propagating framework tree species to restore seasonally dry tropical forest: implications of seasonal seed dispersal and dormancy

ABSTRACT: An effective approach to forest restoration in degraded tropical forestland is the so-called ‘framework species method’, which involves planting 20–30 indigenous forest tree species, to...

180: Propagating framework trees to restore seasonally dry tropical forest in northern Thailand

In northern Thailand, a growing interest in restoring forests for wildlife conservation and environmental protection is increasing demand for high quality planting stock of a wide range of native...
