12: How to Plant a Forest: The Principles and Practice of Restoring Tropical Forests

FORRU-CMU's second practical training manual was published in 2005. It includes generic principles of restoration theory and practice, applicable throughout the tropics, as well as  descriptions...

13: Genetic variation of Prunus cerasoides D. Don, a framework tree species in northern Thailand

Prunus cerasoides D. Don has been identified as an excellent ‘framework tree species’ for restoring evergreen forest in seasonally dry tropical forestlands. Here we describe the level of...

14: Genetic diversity of Castanopsis acuminatissima (Bl.) A. DC. in northern Thailand and the selection of seed trees for forest restoration

ABSTRACT: Castanopsis acuminatissima (Bl.) A. DC. is one of several "framework species", which are being planted to restore seasonally dry tropical forests in northern Thailand. This study...

15: Selection of Prunus cerasoides D. Don seed trees for forest restoration

ABSTRACT: Prunus cerasoides D. Don has been identified as a ‘framework species’ for restoring evergreen forest in seasonally dry climates. The aim of this study was to develop criteria to select...

16: Selecting seed trees for a forest restoration program: a case study using Spondias axillaris Roxb. (Anacardiaceae)

Spondias axillaris Roxb. (Anacardiaceae) (synonym: Choerospondias axillaris (Roxb.) Burtt and Hill) is an exceptionally effective framework tree species for restoring seasonal tropical forest...

17: Propagation of Native Forest Tree Species for Forest Restoration in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park

ABSTRACT: Restoring forest ecosystems by tree planting requires production of high quality planting stock, on a large scale, of a very wide range of indigenous forest tree species. Many of...

18: 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...

19: Replanting the World's Tropical Forests 

A review of a symposium entitled "The Art and Practice of Conservation Planting", organized by the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute in September 2001 in Taipei. The symposium was meant to focus...

20: Forest Restoration for Wildlife Conservation

In 2000, there was little interest in restoring tropical forest ecosystems as wildlife habitat. The need was to consolidate the concept and to identify how scientific research might contribute...
