1: 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...

2: 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...

3: 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...

4: 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...

7: 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...

8: The Chiang Mai Research Agenda for the Restoration of Degraded Forestlands for Wildlife Conservation in Southeast Asia

Back in 2000, forest restoration research was far from main stream. Deforestation was regarded as irreversible and the idea that ecologists could actually find a way to restore tropical forest...
