21: Soil bacterial communities and their associated functions for forest restoration on a limestone mine in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Opencast mining removes topsoil and associated bacterial communities that play crucial roles in soil ecosystem functioning. Understanding the community composition and functioning of...

22: Tropical and subtropical Asia’s valued tree species under threat

Tree diversity in Asia’s tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature-based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly...

23: New allometric equations for quantifying tree biomass and carbon sequestration in seasonally dry secondary forest in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: As tropical deforestation and forest degradation accelerate, carbon-credit trading could provide a financial incentive to preserve and regenerate forests. Since carbon trading relies on...

24: 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...

25: Effect of microsite light on survival and growth of understory natural regeneration during restoration of seasonally dry tropical forest in upland northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: The framework species method (FSM) of forest restoration involves planting mixtures of native forest trees to catalyze or complement natural regeneration and accelerate recovery of a...

26: Seedling recruitment of native tree species in active restoration forest

Abstract: Since the 1970’s, concern has grown over the environmental impact of deforestation over large areas in the northern mountains of Thailand and conversion of forest to agriculture....

27: The science and sociology of restoring Asia’s tropical forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: Thirty years ago, reforestation in the tropics meant planting monocultures of economic trees. Ecosystem restoration was rarely practised, due to lack of effective techniques. Since then,...

28: 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...

29: Drone‐based photogrammetry‐derived crown metrics for predicting tree and oil palm water use

ABSTRACT: Transpiration at the stand level is often estimated from water use measurements on a limited number of plants and then scaled up by predicting the remaining plants of a stand by plant...

30: Drone-based assessment of canopy cover for analyzing tree mortality in an oil palm agroforest.

ABSTRACT: Oil palm monocultures are highly productive, but there are widespread negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Some of these negative impacts might be mitigated by...
