1: Selecting suitable tree species for direct seeding to restore forest ecosystems in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: To upscale restoration of tropical forest ecosystems, direct seeding—sowing seeds directly into the ground—is potentially more cost-effective than tree planting. However, its success is...

2: Differential seed removal, germination and seedling growth as determinants of species suitability for forest restoration by direct seeding – A case study from northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding is potentially a more cost-effective alternative to conventional tree planting for restoring tropical forest ecosystems. However, seed loss, due to removal and damage by...

3: Use of functional traits to distinguish successional guilds of tree species for restoring forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: Forest ecosystem restoration involves establishing mixes of tree species representing various successional stages of the reference forest. When selecting species, conceptualizing...

4: Effects of fertilizer on growth and biomass allocation of three evergreen tree species from seasonally dry tropical forests

ABSTRACT: Tree planting is widely accepted as a strategy to mitigate climate change, with a strong focus on use of native tree species. Various kinds of fertilizer have been recommended, to...

5: 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...

6: Use of drone RGB imagery to quantify indicator variables of tropical-forest-ecosystem degradation and restoration  

ABSTRACT: Recognizing initial degradation levels is essential to planning effective measures to restore tropical forest ecosystems. However, measuring indicators of forest degradation is...

7: 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...

8: 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...

9: 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...

10: 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...
