1: Use of drone RGB imagery to quantify indicator variables of tropical-forest-ecosystem degradation and restoration  

ABSTRACT: Recognizing initial degradation levels is essential to planning effective measures to restore tropical forest ecosystems. However, measuring indicators of forest degradation is...

2: Multi-Scenario Simulations of Future Forest Cover Changes Influenced by Socio-Economic Development: A Case Study in the Chiang Mai-Lamphun Basin

Abstract: Changes in land cover in the Chiang Mai-Lamphun basin have been influenced by pressures of rapid socio-economic developments. The Markov-cellular automata and a multi-layer perceptron...

3: UAV-derived forest degradation assessments for planning and monitoring forest ecosystem restoration: towards a forest degradation index

ABSTRACT: Global initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge and the New York Declaration on Forests have prompted large-scale forest restoration projects to combat land degradation, preserve...

4: 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...

5: A trait-based approach for selecting tree species for aerial seeding

ABSTRACT: We review recent ecological research on functional traits that can aid selection of tree species for restoration by aerial seeding. A major barrier in selecting species for restoration...
