Abstract
Study on forest structure and species composition in restoration by Teak plantation at Jedkhod - Pongkhonsao Natural Study and Ecotourism Center, Kheang Khoi District, Saraburi Province, was carried on during January 2014 to December 2015. The objectives aimed to clarify; 1) forest structure and species composition and 2) the determinant factors on plant establishment after restoration. Three permanent transect plots, 10 × 200 m, were established and sub-quadrats
of 10 × 10 m were divided (total 60 sub-quadrats). All trees with diameter at breast height larger than 1 cm were tagged, measured and identified. In addition, some environmental factors, soil moisture content, soil bulk and percentage of crown cover, were also collected in every subquadrate. The results showed that high tree species number was found, 139 species 160 genera 44 families, and tree density and basal area after restoration were 4,304 individual.ha-1 and 26.50
m2.ha-1 respectively. The succeeded native species of the dry evergreen forest in restoration area were Diospyros variegata, Mallotus philippensi, Lepisanthes tetraphylla, Aporosa octandra and Pterospermum littorale The result of ordination analysis showed that the existed stands of tree was determined by environmental factors (r=0.97). High soil moisture content was determined the occurrence of species in the dry evergreen forest. While, low percentage of crown cover and
high soil bulk density were influenced on species of the mixed deciduous forest. The species with high amplitude tolerance of those three environmental factors such as Markhamia stipulata, Wrightia arborea and Cratoxylum cochinchinense can be distributed from edged-interior into edged-middle of restoration areas. Thus, the forest restoration program should concern the species with high amplitude of tolerance and suitable to the restoration site. Then, restoration process should start from the edged-interior of remnant natural forest which will create the suitable facilities and reduce the recovery period.
