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: Developing Techniques for Direct-seeding for Forest Restoration in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Forest restoration by direct seeding is potentially more cost-effective than tree-planting, especially for upscaling restoration of tropical forest ecosystems. Unfortunately, its success...

3: 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...

4: 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...

5: Sowing time and direct seeding success of native tree species for restoring tropical forest ecosystems in northern Thailand

ABSTRACT: Direct seeding (sowing seeds directly into ground) is potentially a cost-effective method of forest restoration that could replace or complement conventional tree planting, under certain...

6: 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...

7: 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...

8: 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...

9: 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...

10: Efficacy of Ficus Hydroseeding for Forest Restoration in an Abandoned Limestone Quarry

ABSTRACT: Reforestation of limestone quarries is more challenging, compared to other degraded sites, due to rocky conditions, steep cliffs and lack of top-soil. Trees species of the genus Ficus...
