Thai Forest Ecological Research Journal
type: channel
description: The Thai Forest Ecological Research Journal (TFERJ) is an open access bi-annual peer-reviewed journal of forest ecology in Thailand. The journal publishes original scientific papers that report and interpret the findings of pure and applied research into the plants and their interaction with biotic and abiotic environments. The goal of TFERJ is to promote the platform for scientists and academics who share and discuss various new issues and perspectives in diverse areas of forest ecology. TFERJ welcomes submissions from Thai and foreign researchers who study related ecological topics in Thailand including: Forest ecology: Studies of plant communities, populations, or individual ecology, plant ecophysiology, ecosystems, and landscape ecology are accepted. Forest management: Studies of forest management, silviculture, forest restoration, as well as plant utilization are accepted. Plant and wildlife management: Studies of the interactions between plants and animals (or fungi), and habitat management for biodiversity conservation are accepted. Forest dynamics and environmental changes: Studies of the impact of environmental changes, climate change, and natural or anthropogenic disturbance on forest dynamics are accepted. Other related plant science: Studies of experimental plant breeding, plant genetics, and other related plant ecological sciences are accepted.

The Relationship Between Teak Growth and Climatic Factors by Using Satellite Data in Huai Tak Teak Biosphere Reserve, Lampang Province
type: item
description: Background and Objectives: Contemporary climate change has intensified in recent decades and is exerting substantial impacts on ecosystems worldwide. However, long-term studies evaluating its effects on trees growth in Thailand remain limited, primarily due to the substantial time and financial constraints associated with traditional research methodologies. Consequently, this research employed dendrochronological techniques, which offer high-resolution accuracy and mitigate the temporal limitations inherent in studying tree growth. Nevertheless, data analysis frequently encounters spatial gap issues, as meteorological stations are typically situated in urban areas distant from forest ecosystems. This discrepancy results in climate data that does not accurately reflect the actual environmental conditions of the study site. To address this limitation, this study incorporates satellite-derived climate data. Therefore, the primary objective focused on investigating the relationship between climatic factors and the growth of teak in the Huai Tak Teak Biosphere Reserve, Lampang province. The integrating tree-ring data with satellite datasets was employed to ensure that the environmental impact assessment is accurate, precise, and reliable as possible. Methodology: This research applied dendrochronological principles to study the growth of teak. Teak samples were randomly collected from 35 trees, with extractions taken from two opposite directions per individual tree. Following sample preparation using sandpaper, all samples were cross-dated by comparing tree-ring patterns both within individual trees and among different trees. Tree-ring widths were measured using a Velmex measuring system (0.001 mm resolution) in conjunction with a microscope, and the results were recorded using Measure J2X software. Subsequently, measurement accuracy was verified using the COFECHA program, and key dendrochronological statistics were analyzed, namely correlation with the master series, me…
