81: The ecology and technology of accelerating forest ecosystem recovery

Whilst the science of restoration has improved greatly over recent years, the technologies for implementing it remain primitive. Nearly all accessible land is already used for agriculture. So,...

82: Tree species composition and height-diameter allometry of three forest types in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Understanding the tree species composition of tropical forests provides information for forest restoration and conservation. The objectives of this study were to determine the tree...

83: The interface between forest science and policy—a review of the IUFRO international and multidisciplinary scientific conference 4–7 October 2016: forestry-related policy and governance: analyses in the environmental social sciences

ABSTRACT: This commentary uses the experience of attending the “Multidisciplinary Scientific Conference on Forestry-related Policy and Governance” to contrast the lack of progress with...

84: Seed and microsite limitations of large-seeded, zoochorous trees in tropical forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: On deforested or degraded land, planting mixtures of native forest tree species facilitates establishment of incoming tree seedling species (i.e. "species recruitment") by rapidly...

85: Where science meets communities: developing forest restoration approaches for northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: This paper contrasts lessons learned from two forest restoration research projects in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, near Chiang Mai City, northern Thailand, which combined science with...

86: Determination of aboveground carbon sequestration in restored forest by framework species method

ABSTRACT: Tropical deforestation reduces the global terrestrial carbon sink and substantially contributes towards global climate change. Conversely, tropical forest restoration could help to...

87: Seed and Seedling Predation of Five Framework Tree Species in a Degraded Forest Area of Ban Nong Hoi, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province

ABSTRACT: One limitation of forest restoration by direct seeding is seed and seedling predation by natural enemies. Natural enemies include both vertebrate and invertebrates. This study was set up...

88:  Principles of restoring tropical forest ecosystems and opportunities for conserving endemic, endangered and threatened tree species

ABSTRACT Restoring tropical forest ecosystems involves manipulating natural regeneration to achieve the maximum biomass, structure, biodiversity and ecological functioning that are possible within...

89: Pre-dispersal seed predators and fungi differ in their effect on Luehea seemannii capsule development, seed germination and dormancy across two Panamanian forests  

Pre-dispersal seed predation can greatly reduce crop size affecting recruitment success. In addition, non-fatal damage by seed predators may allow infection by fungi responsible for post-dispersal...

90: Development of New Techniques of Seed Storage and Direct Seeding of Native Tree Species for Tropical Forest Restoration

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding (sowing seeds directly into ground) is a low cost method of forest restoration, which could potentially be applied to aerial seeding and replace conventional tree...
