11: Living Fungi in an Opencast Limestone Mine: Who Are They and What Can They Do? 

Abstract: Opencast limestone mines or limestone quarries are considered challenging ecosystems for soil fungi as they are highly degraded land with specific conditions, including high...

12: Multi-Scenario Simulations of Future Forest Cover Changes Influenced by Socio-Economic Development: A Case Study in the Chiang Mai-Lamphun Basin

Abstract: Changes in land cover in the Chiang Mai-Lamphun basin have been influenced by pressures of rapid socio-economic developments. The Markov-cellular automata and a multi-layer perceptron...

13: Bar-HRM for Species Confirmation of Native Plants Used in Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Plant species confirmation is a crucial step in using native plant species for forest restoration. To enhance this, a hybrid method of DNA barcoding and high-resolution melting analysis...

14: Climate niche modelling for mapping potential distributions of four framework tree species: Implications for planning forest restoration in Tropical and Subtropical Asia

ABSTRACT: Selecting tree species to plant for forest ecosystem restoration is critical but problematic. Knowing tree species’ climatic niches can help, but such information is limited for most...

15: Comparison of seedling detection and height measurement using 3D point cloud models from three software tools: applications in forest restoration

ABSTRACT: A challenge for forest restoration is monitoring success, particularly in terms of seedling survivorship. 3D-point-cloud models, generated from aerial images taken from unmanned aerial...

16: Evaluating forest-cover changes in protected areas using geospatial analysis in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Abstract: Protected areas have been developed in Thailand to conserve the natural environment required for wildlife and human beings, and to prevent disasters. It is necessary to address doubts...

17: Selecting native tree species for restoring riparian ecosystem, Tak Province

ABSTRACT: This research investigated the selection of native forest tree species for restoring riparian forest in Tak Province, Thailand. Ten native tree species were planted in degraded riparian...

18: Financial analysis of potential carbon value over 14 years of forest restoration using the framework species method

Abstract: The carbon storage value of forest restoration, by the framework species method (FSM) in northern Thailand, was assessed for trees (using a partial harvesting technique) and soil and...

19: Distribution of Castanopsis calathiformis (Skan)Rehder & E.H.Wilson Seedlings Beneath Maternal Tree Crowns in Forest Restoration Plots

ABSTRACT: Castanopsis calathiformis (Skan) Rehder & E.H.Wilson is one of indigenous tree species in the Fagaceae that was planted in 1998 in a restoration plots in a deforested area near Mae Sa...

20: 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...
