14: Seed Dispersal of Three Framework Tree Species and Seed Predation of Manglietia garrettii Craib

ABSTRACT: Deforestation is a serious problem in northern Thailand. Framework tree species are native forest trees that help to accelerate natural forest regeneration. Planting them can, therefore,...

15: Seed Dispersal and Germination of 2 Native Tree Species: Gmelina arborea (Roxb.) and Terminalia chebula Retz. var. chebula.

ABSTRACT: Forest restoration, using native forest trees (the so called “framework tree species”), requires detailed knowledge of the dispersal ecology of such trees. This project was conducted in...
