A major global effort to enable cost‐effective natural regeneration is needed to achieve
ambitious forest and landscape restoration goals. Natural forest regeneration can potentially …

Secondary forests are increasingly important components of human‐modified landscapes in
the tropics. Successional pathways, however, can vary enormously across and within …

Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering
from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because …

Under suitable conditions, deforested land used for agricultural crops or pastures can revert
to forest through the assisted or unassisted process of natural regeneration. These naturally …

High costs of tree planting are a barrier to meeting global forest restoration targets. Natural
forest regeneration is more cost‐effective than tree planting, but its potential to foster …

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) have been increasingly dominated by carbon dioxide (CO2) with
its negative effects on the global climatic system. Malaysia has forest land around 67% of the …

Map** forest types and tree species at regional scales to provide information for
ecologists and forest managers is a new challenge for the remote sensing community. Here …

Climate change is a global phenomenon that affects biophysical systems and human well-
being. The Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate …

Large‐scale and long‐term restoration efforts are urgently needed to reverse historical
global trends of deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics. Restoration of forests …

Secondary forest succession can be an effective and low-cost strategy to increase forest
cover and the associated biodiversity and soil functions. However, little is known about how …
