31: 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...

32: 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...

33: Locating and identifying seed tree species for forest restoration in northern Thailand using an unmanned aerial vehicle  

ABSTRACT: Rapid and reliable location of seed trees of required species, within forest, is essential, if global forest restoration targets are to be achieved, e.g. the Bonn Challenge (forest...

34: The Effects of Climate Change on Tree Phenology for Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: The current world climate is rapidly changing and affecting physical and biological environments. Some abiotic factors have an influence on tropical forest ecosystems. Each flowering...

35: The Impact of Climate Change on Tree Phenology for Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Climate change causes changes in abiotic factors such as temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity, which may result in forest trees adapting their  growth patterns to the changed...

36: 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....

37: Allelopathic Effects of Prunus cerasoides Buch.-Ham ex. D. Don Leaves on Common Weeds in Forest Restoration Sites  

ABSTRACT: Weeding by hand tools is the most expensive part of forest restoration projects, so herbicides are an attractive alternative weeding technique. However, synthetic herbicides may have...

38: Effects of Root Air-Pruning on Framework Tree Species Seedlings Production for Forest Restoration in Northern and Southern Thailand

Abstract: Tree planting is a simple tool to bring back the forest area. Therefore, seedling production is one of the important steps in forest restoration. Root pruning can promote the root system...

39: 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,...

40: 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...
