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: Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Imagery to Monitor Progress of Early Forest Ecosystem Restoration in an Opencast Mine

ABSTRACT: Monitoring forest restoration is essential for improving and advancing restoration techniques, but human-based monitoring is costly as it requires intensive labour in the field. Although...

5: 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...

6: 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...

7: 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...

8: 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...

9: 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...

10: 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...
