51: 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...

52: Factors Affecting the Recruitment of Tree Species in Restored Tropical Forest, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

Abstract: FORRU-CMU has been developing and adapting the framework species method of forest restoration (FWS) to restore tropical forest ecosystems to degraded forest land in northern Thailand,...

53: Fire Resilience of Native Tree Species in Montane Forest Ecosystem

Abstract: Montane forest ecosystems are important for watershed protection and as habitats for diverse organisms. They have been greatly modified by various land-uses. Therefore, restoring such...

54: The ecology and technology of accelerating forest ecosystem recovery

Whilst the science of restoration has improved greatly over recent years, the technologies for implementing it remain primitive. Nearly all accessible land is already used for agriculture. So,...

55: 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...

56: 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...

57: 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...

58: Determination of aboveground carbon sequestration in restored forest by framework species method

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

59: Seed and Seedling Predation of Five Framework Tree Species in a Degraded Forest Area of Ban Nong Hoi, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province

ABSTRACT: One limitation of forest restoration by direct seeding is seed and seedling predation by natural enemies. Natural enemies include both vertebrate and invertebrates. This study was set up...

60:  Principles of restoring tropical forest ecosystems and opportunities for conserving endemic, endangered and threatened tree species

ABSTRACT Restoring tropical forest ecosystems involves manipulating natural regeneration to achieve the maximum biomass, structure, biodiversity and ecological functioning that are possible within...
