21: Propagating framework tree species to restore seasonally dry tropical forest: implications of seasonal seed dispersal and dormancy

ABSTRACT: An effective approach to forest restoration in degraded tropical forestland is the so-called ‘framework species method’, which involves planting 20–30 indigenous forest tree species, to...

22: Propagating framework trees to restore seasonally dry tropical forest in northern Thailand

In northern Thailand, a growing interest in restoring forests for wildlife conservation and environmental protection is increasing demand for high quality planting stock of a wide range of native...

23: Propagation of native forest tree species for forest restoration in northern Thailand

Suphawan prepares a propagation bag of leafy cuttings - using the "mistless" method, described in detail in Box 6.2 in "How to Plant a Forest".  ABSTRACT: Loss of forest in Thailand, due to...

24: Effects of Container Type, Air Pruning and Fertilizer on the Propagation of Tree Seedlings for Forest Restoration

ABSTRACT: Forests in Thailand are fast disappearing. Recovery of degraded areas can be accelerated by planting native tree species. In order to maximise performance, the highest quality planting...

25: Pest and Disease Problems of Native Tree Seedlings in Northern Thailand: some examples

ABSTRACT: FORRU is identifying framework tree species for the restoration of Northern Thailand’s upper watershed forests. Since 1994, research at FORRU has focused on collecting seeds of native...

26: Propagating native trees to restore degraded forest ecosystems in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Producing a wide range of native forest tree species to restore forest ecosystems for biodiversity conservation is beset with nursery-scheduling problems. Different species produce seeds...

27: Nursery technology and tree species selection for restoring forest biodiversity in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: The Forest Restoration Research Unit (FORRU) was established in 1994 to develop methods to restore forest ecosystems in degraded areas for the conservation of biodiversity in northern...

28: Effects of Media and Fungicide on Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth

This project tested the effects of media composition and fungicide application on the propagation of 3 native forest species for restoration of forest ecosystems on degraded forestland. The...

29: Tree Seeds and Seedlings for Restoring Forests in Northern Thailand

The forests of northern Thailand are fast disappearing, along with their wildlife and the many products and ecological services they provide for local communities and the national economy. In...

30: Low technology tree propagation and the restoration of natural forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: Loss of forests, and their associated biodiversity, is a serious issue in many developing tropical countries. Throughout northern Thailand for example, large areas within national parks...
