1: Tree islands enhance biodiversity and functioning in oil palm landscapes

ABSTRACT: In the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, large knowledge gaps persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in cash crop-dominated tropical landscapes....

2: Effects of forest restoration age on the species diversity of epiphytic bryophyte communities

ABSTRACT: We examined recovery of bryophyte diversity during forest restoration by the framework species method (FSM), as a component of overall biodiversity recovery—one of the defining...

3: 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...

4: 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...

5: 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...

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: Bird diversity on Doi Mae Salong, Mae Fa District, Chiang Rai Province

ABSTRACT: A study of bird species diversity at Doi Mae Sa Long, Ma Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province, was carried out from May 2010 to April 2011. The study area consisted of 30 plots, set...

8: Bird communities and seedling recruitment in restoring seasonally dry forest using the framework species method in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: This study examined the effects of framework trees, planted in 1998, and bird community on the natural recruitment of tree seedling species in a forest restoration experiment designed to...

9: Arbuscular mycorrhizal status of indigenous tree species used to restore seasonally dry tropical forest in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT - Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) status of native plants in the tropical forest of northern Thailand was surveyed. Twenty-four framework tree species, used to forest restoration were...

10: Restoring conservation forests in northern Thailand and the monitoring of frugivorous birds

During tropical forest restoration, birds play a crucial role in dispersing seeds from nearby forest into restoration sites. The framework species method of forest restoration is designed to...
