65: Leaf flushing during the dry season: the paradox of Asian monsoon forests

Aim Most deciduous species of dry monsoon forests in Thailand and India form new leaves 1–2 months before the first monsoon rains, during the hottest and driest part of the year around the spring...

66: Research needs for restoring tropical forests in Southeast Asia for wildlife conservation: accelerated natural regeneration

Accelerated natural regeneration (ANR) is a relatively cheap method of reforestation, which encourages natural establishment of indigenous trees and shrubs. It requires a low input of labour, but...

67: Genetic variation of Prunus cerasoides D. Don, a framework tree species in northern Thailand
