1: 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...

2: Developing a Forest-Degradation Index for Forest Ecosystem Restoration Using UAV-based RGB Photography

Abstract: Forest degradation assessment is essential to plan restoration. This study was a first attempt to develop a forest-degradation index (FDI), based on data from unmanned aerial vehicles...

3: Effects of Root Air-Pruning on Framework Tree Species Seedlings Production for Forest Restoration in Northern and Southern Thailand

Abstract: Tree planting is a simple tool to bring back the forest area. Therefore, seedling production is one of the important steps in forest restoration. Root pruning can promote the root system...

4: Identifying and Locating Trees of Framework Species Using Photography from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

ABSTRACT: The need to locate and identify potential seed trees has become crucial, if we are to meet ambitious global reforestation targets of UN New York Declaration on Forests, 2014, which aims...

5: Fire Resilience of Native Tree Species in Montane Forest Ecosystem

Abstract: Montane forest ecosystems are important for watershed protection and as habitats for diverse organisms. They have been greatly modified by various land-uses. Therefore, restoring such...

6: 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...

7: Efficacy of Ficus Hydroseeding for Forest Restoration in an Abandoned Limestone Quarry

ABSTRACT: Reforestation of limestone quarries is more challenging, compared to other degraded sites, due to rocky conditions, steep cliffs and lack of top-soil. Trees species of the genus Ficus...

8: Germination of Ficus microcarpa on limestone for restoring mines

ABSTRACT: For limestone mining in Thailand, it is stipulated that the site must be reclaimed to the original vegetation after mining is completed. The study area was the Muang Poon semi-opencast...

9: Trees and Ground Flora Diversity of Framework Species Plantation Plots and Dong Seng Forest, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province

ABSTRACT: The framework species method (FSM), combined with assisted natural regeneration (ANR) aims to restore forest biomass, structure, biodiversity and ecological functioning to levels similar...

10: Natural Establishment of Tree Seedlings in Forest Restoration Trials at Ban Mae Sa Mai, Chiang Mai Province

ABSTRACT: The Forest Restoration Research Unit (FORRU) has successfully adapted the framework species method of forest restoration to accelerate natural forest regeneration on deforested sites in...
