61: Applications of remote sensing for tropical forest restoration: challenges and opportunities

ABSTRACT: The tremendous physical and material efforts, required to accurately assess forest degradation and to plan and monitor vegetation recovery using conventional ground surveys, often limit...

62: Forest restoration: concepts and the potential for its automation

ABSTRACT: In 2014, the UN New York Climate Summit set a goal to restore forest to 350 million hectares of degraded land by 2030, to counter climate change. Conventional tree-planting with human...

64: The science and sociology of restoring Asia’s tropical forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: Thirty years ago, reforestation in the tropics meant planting monocultures of economic trees. Ecosystem restoration was rarely practised, due to lack of effective techniques. Since then,...

65: Seed storage behaviour of native forest tree species of northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Storage of native forest tree seeds is essential for the development of seed-based forest restoration methods, such as direct or aerial seeding and for increasing representation of...

66: Diversity of Ground Flora in Restoration Area of The Siam Cement (Lampang) Co., Ltd Limestone Quarry

 Ground flora communities in framework species method restoration area of Siam cement (Lampang) Co. Ltd. limestone quarries were studied. adding top soil with the value of 2.81, 2.50 and 1.99,...

67: Restoring forest landscapes through assisted natural regeneration (ANR) – A practical manual

The first rule of forest restoration is to make maximum use of what's already on-site. Every naturally establishing tree is one less tree to plant—and tree planting is expensive. So, exploiting...

68: Quality and production costs of seedlings grown with different root-pruning techniques

Abstract: About half of the cost of forest restoration by the framework species method (FSM) is planting stock production costs. Manual root pruning promotes better tree seedlings, but is time...

69: Drone‐based photogrammetry‐derived crown metrics for predicting tree and oil palm water use

ABSTRACT: Transpiration at the stand level is often estimated from water use measurements on a limited number of plants and then scaled up by predicting the remaining plants of a stand by plant...

70: Drone-based assessment of canopy cover for analyzing tree mortality in an oil palm agroforest.

ABSTRACT: Oil palm monocultures are highly productive, but there are widespread negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Some of these negative impacts might be mitigated by...
