Regeneration of Native Plant Species in Restored Forests on Degraded Lands in SingaporebackgroundThis article presents the natural regeneration of woody species in the understory of 1 year-old and 4-year old plantation in Singapore. Available with subscription or purchase |
Reforestation Experiences with Dipterocarp Species on GrasslandbackgroundAvailable with subscription or purchase |
Biomass Equations for Tropical Tree Plantations Using Secondary Data from the PhilippinesbackgroundThis study advances models for biomass estimation of tropical forests using equations verified by sampling in Philippines plantations. Evidence-based, site-specific equations for biomass estimation can avoid the need for frequent destructive sampling. Open access copy available |
