31: Genetic assessment of three Fagaceae species in forest restoration trials

ABSTRACT: Restoring isolated patches of forest ecosystems in degraded landscapes could potentially lead to inbreeding, leading to loss of genetic variability among small populations of planted...

32: Collaboration and conflict - developing forest restoration techniques for northern Thailand’s upper watersheds whilst meeting the needs of science and communities

ABSTRACT: This paper describes an early example of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR), which resulted from collaboration between a university, local community, and national park authority in the...

33: Testing a new type of fertilizer to improve nursery production of framework tree species for forest ecosystem restoration in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: To improve planting-stock production of native forest tree species for tropical forest ecosystem restoration projects in northern Thailand, we compared a new controlled-release...

34: 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...

35: Effects of weeds on survival and growth of planted seedlings of native forest tree species during forest restoration in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Herbaceous weeds often hinder forest restoration by reducing establishment of planted tree seedlings. The study, presented here, compared survival and health of tree seedlings in the...

36: Tree species composition and height-diameter allometry of three forest types in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Understanding the tree species composition of tropical forests provides information for forest restoration and conservation. The objectives of this study were to determine the tree...

37: Seed and microsite limitations of large-seeded, zoochorous trees in tropical forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: On deforested or degraded land, planting mixtures of native forest tree species facilitates establishment of incoming tree seedling species (i.e. "species recruitment") by rapidly...

38: 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...

39: 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...

40: Above-ground carbon sequestration during restoration of upland evergreen forest in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Tropical deforestation reduces the global terrestrial carbon sink and substantially contributes towards global climate change. Conversely, restorating tropical forest ecosystem could...
