1: Selecting suitable tree species for direct seeding to restore forest ecosystems in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: To upscale restoration of tropical forest ecosystems, direct seeding—sowing seeds directly into the ground—is potentially more cost-effective than tree planting. However, its success is...

2: Developing Techniques for Direct-seeding for Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Forest restoration by direct seeding is potentially more cost-effective than tree-planting, especially for upscaling restoration of tropical forest ecosystems. Unfortunately, its success...

3: Differential seed removal, germination and seedling growth as determinants of species suitability for forest restoration by direct seeding – A case study from northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding is potentially a more cost-effective alternative to conventional tree planting for restoring tropical forest ecosystems. However, seed loss, due to removal and damage by...

4: Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Imagery to Monitor Progress of Early Forest Ecosystem Restoration in an Opencast Mine

ABSTRACT: Monitoring forest restoration is essential for improving and advancing restoration techniques, but human-based monitoring is costly as it requires intensive labour in the field. Although...

5: Diversity for Restoration (D4R): Guiding the selection of tree species and seed sources for climate-resilient restoration of tropical forest landscapes

ABSTRACT: 1. At the start of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), the restoration of degraded ecosystems is more than ever a global priority. Tree planting will make up a large...

6: Where science meets communities: developing forest restoration approaches for northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: This paper contrasts lessons learned from two forest restoration research projects in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, near Chiang Mai City, northern Thailand, which combined science with...

7: Selection of native tree species for restoring forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: The framework species method is a well-established tropical forest restoration technique, which involves planting 20-30 indigenous forest trees species, with high survival and growth...
