81: 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...

82: 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...

83: Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We...

84: James Franklin Maxwell 1945-2015 – an extraordinary botanist

This is the obituary and life story of J. F. Maxwell "Acharn Max", a talented botanist who established the herbarium in CMU Biology Department in 1992 and continued to curate it until his death in...

85: Above-ground carbon sequestration during restoration of upland evergreen forest in northern Thailand

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

86: Potential seed predators in an abandoned agricultural area in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: One limitation of forest restoration by direct seeding in degraded areas is seed predation by animals foraging on the ground. Seeds sown on the ground can be removed or destroyed leading...

87: Fire resilience of framework tree species in hill evergreen forest

This paper won an award for best oral presentation at the national conference: "Biological and Cultural Diversity: Living in Harmony" - run by the NSTDA (National Science and Technology...

88: Selection of native tree species for restoring forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: The framework species method is a well-established tropical forest restoration technique, which involves planting 20-30 indigenous forest trees species, with high survival and growth...

89: The Effects of Fertilizer and Aspirin on Propagation of Ficus Species from Seed

ABSTRACT: Ficus spp. (or fig trees) are keystone species in tropical forest and have been promoted as framework species for forest restoration in Northern Thailand. This study aimed to improve...

90: Forest restoration at the landscape level in Thailand

Thailand is located in the Centre of the Indochina Peninsula, with a total land area of 513,115 sq km. Due to variations in climate and physiographical characteristics, various types of forests...
