Abstract. Asanok L, Kamyo T, Marod D. 2020. Maximum entropy modeling for the conservation of Hopea odorata in riparian forests, central Thailand. Biodiversitas 21: 4663-4670. Hopea odorata plays a dominant role in both ecologically and economically in Thailand. We analyzed potentially suitable areas for H. odorata in the riparian zone of the Chao Phraya River using the software MaxEnt. Modeling included 164 occurrence records along with 19 climate-related variables, slope, aspect, and elevation. Precipitation was the key climatic variable influencing the distribution of H. odorata. Riparian areas along the Chao Phraya that were predicted to be highly suitable for this species were located in the provinces of Nakhon Sawan, Ang Thong, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, and Bangkok. The ROC AUC score was 0.891, indicating that MaxEnt is an excellent tool for predicting suitable regions for the restoration or cultivation of commercially and ecologically valuable species such as H. odorata. Models such as what we have presented here can facilitate habitat conservation and sustainable resource use for rare and important plants.

The dynamics of deciduous dipterocarp forest in relation to climate variability in the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve, Northeastern Thailand. Biodiversitas 25: 3088-3098. Climate change is a major environmental problem influencing forest dynamics. To clarify tropical seasonal forest dynamics under climate change, we conducted long-term monitoring of all trees with Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) ?4.5 cm within a 1-ha permanent plot established in 2004 in a deciduous dipterocarp forest in the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve (SBR), Northeastern Thailand. Surveys of all trees within the plot with DBH ?2 cm were conducted in 2008, 2015, and 2019. Climate data were obtained from the SBR climate station during 2004-2019 and used to extract dates with drought and wet conditions. Forest dynamics varied among species and periods, with stem density exhibiting a decreasing trend. Despite prolonged drought conditions from 2004 to 2009, which usually leads to increased mortality rates, the recruitment rate was 7-fold higher than the mortality rate at a site protected from fire during 2004-2008, and most of the recruited species were pioneer species, shrubs, and small trees. A contrasting trend was observed during 2015-2019, with a mortality rate almost 10-fold higher than the recruitment rate, indicating a significant ecological disturbance, likely to have been driven by a severe El Niño event during 2015-2016. Thus, climate induced disturbances (i.e., drought and fire) appear to have inhibited tree regeneration in the deciduous dipterocarp forest, particularly when they occurred in combination and for specific timing and intensity levels. Addressing the challenges posed by drought and fire to tree regeneration requires holistic management approaches that consider both ecological and climatic factors. Monitoring and adaptive management are also essential to mitigate the impact of future disturbances and support the long-term viability of forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Abstract. Thinkampheang S, Nakashizuka T, Suksavate W, Kachina P, Hermhuk S, Asanok L, Phumphuang W, Chouibumroong B, Wu J, Kurokawa H, Marod D. 2024. Impacts of climate change on forest restoration dynamics in the lower montane forest of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, Northern Thailand. Biodiversitas 25: 4829-4845. Lower montane forest ecosystems are rich in biodiversity but prone to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Forest restoration aims to emulate natural succession, particularly concerning tree species composition. In this study, we investigated the effects of different forest restoration practices on tree regeneration and the impact of climate change on forest dynamics following restoration in a natural lower montane forest. Three forest dynamics plots (100 m × 100 m) were established in the forest, and two artificial forest restoration approaches were simulated based on mono-species and multi-species plantations, respectively. All trees with a diameter at breast height > 2 cm were tagged, measured, identified, and monitored every 2 years from 2011 to 2021. Forest dynamics, including mortality and recruitment rates, were analyzed in relation to climate change. The results show that recovery varied among restoration practices. The mono-species plantation had the highest species diversity (114 species), followed by the natural forest and multi-species plantation. The mean mortality rate was higher than the net mean recruitment rate in mono-species and multi-species plantations, with significant variation in forest dynamics across species and periods. These fluctuations were closely linked to environmental changes, particularly droughts related to El Niño. Environmental factors exert a substantial influence on forest structure and species composition. In particular, the interplay between forest dynamics and ecological changes underscores the susceptibility of certain species to drought. Our findings imply that multi-species planting, with its potential to mirror the natural climax state of a forest closely, is a highly effective forest restoration strategy that can inspire and motivate further research and action in this field.
