1: Ten guidelines for tree planting initiatives to optimise carbon sequestration, biodiversity recovery and livelihood benefits

ABSTRACT: Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives, many already underway, aim to sequester enormous quantities of carbon to partly compensate for...

2: Locating and identifying seed tree species for forest restoration in northern Thailand using an unmanned aerial vehicle  

ABSTRACT: Rapid and reliable location of seed trees of required species, within forest, is essential, if global forest restoration targets are to be achieved, e.g. the Bonn Challenge (forest...

3: Seed storage behaviour of native forest tree species of northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Storage of native forest tree seeds is essential for the development of seed-based forest restoration methods, such as direct or aerial seeding and for increasing representation of...

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: Sowing time and direct seeding success of native tree species for restoring tropical forest ecosystems in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding (sowing seeds directly into ground) is potentially a cost-effective method of forest restoration that could replace or complement conventional tree planting, under certain...

6: 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...

7: 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...

8: Restoring Tropical Forests: a Practical Guide

Available in English, Spanish and French      The authors at a publishers' meeting, Kew 2012Restoring Tropical Forests is a hands-on guide to restoring degraded tropical forest ecosystems. Based...

9: The role of botanic gardens in the science and practice of ecological restoration

ABSTRACT: Many of the skills and resources, associated with botanic gardens and arboreta, including plant taxonomy, horticulture and seed bank management, are fundamental to ecological restoration...

10: Producing Framework Tree Species for Restoring Forest Ecosystems in Northern Thailand

Abstract: Since 1994, the Forest Restoration Research Unit of Chiang Mai University’s Biology Department (FORRU-CMU) has been developing methods to restore forest ecosystems to deforested sites...
