Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a
major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial …

Asian tropical forests are amongst the most diverse on the planet, a richness that belies the
fact that they are dominated by a single family of trees, the Dipterocarpaceae. Many other …

The global efforts to restore tropical forests and their productive and ecological functions
through plantation forestry largely depend on the available genetic variation in the tree …

Aim To describe current geographical patterns of genetic diversity and infer the historical
population dynamics of the stone oaks (Lithocarpus) in Southeast Asia. Location We …

Maintaining the genetic viability of timber species is especially important to sustaining the
productivity and quality of timber in tropical production forests because the diversity of tree …

Abstract Tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia are enriched by multifarious biota dominated
by Dipterocarpaceae. In this family, Shorea robusta is an ecologically sensitive and …

Many tree planting programmes have long been initiated to increase forest cover to mitigate
the effects of global climate change. Successful planting requires careful planning at the …

We analysed genetic diversity across the natural populations of three montane plant species
in the Western Ghats, India; Symplocos laurina, Gaultheria fragrantissima and Eurya nitida …

The genetic diversity within and among populations of Shorea leprosula and Shorea
parvifolia from Indonesia was investigated using amplified fragment length polymorphisms …

Eurycoma longifolia Jack. is a treelet that grows in the forests of Southeast Asia and is
widely used throughout the region because of its reported medicinal properties. Widespread …
