61: Development of New Techniques of Seed Storage and Direct Seeding of Native Tree Species for Tropical Forest Restoration

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding (sowing seeds directly into ground) is a low cost method of forest restoration, which could potentially be applied to aerial seeding and replace conventional tree...

62: Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We...

63: Above-ground carbon sequestration during restoration of upland evergreen forest in northern Thailand

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

64: Potential seed predators in an abandoned agricultural area in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: One limitation of forest restoration by direct seeding in degraded areas is seed predation by animals foraging on the ground. Seeds sown on the ground can be removed or destroyed leading...

65: Fire resilience of framework tree species in hill evergreen forest

This paper won an award for best oral presentation at the national conference: "Biological and Cultural Diversity: Living in Harmony" - run by the NSTDA (National Science and Technology...

66: Selection of native tree species for restoring forest ecosystems

ABSTRACT: The framework species method is a well-established tropical forest restoration technique, which involves planting 20-30 indigenous forest trees species, with high survival and growth...

67: The Effects of Fertilizer and Aspirin on Propagation of Ficus Species from Seed

ABSTRACT: Ficus spp. (or fig trees) are keystone species in tropical forest and have been promoted as framework species for forest restoration in Northern Thailand. This study aimed to improve...

68: Second Growth : The Promise of Tropical Rain Forest Regeneration in the Age of Deforestation—Review

Robin Chazdon  In Second Growth, Robin Chazdon conveys the message that tropical forests are “malleable” and should be helped to achieve their maximum potential for regeneration wherever...

69: Forest restoration at the landscape level in Thailand

Thailand is located in the Centre of the Indochina Peninsula, with a total land area of 513,115 sq km. Due to variations in climate and physiographical characteristics, various types of forests...

70: Soil organic carbon stock in restored and natural forests in Northern Thailand

Abstract: In order to increase understanding of the role that tropical forest restoration might play in mitigating global climate change, soil organic carbon (SOC) was determined in a...
