I was awarded my PhD in forest ecology at The University of Queensland in 2012 and started my career as a part-time postdoc research fellow in UQ, USC and then QUT. Before that I had experience as a forest physio-ecologist at Forest Science Institute of Vietnam.
My research interest is small-scale forestry, forest ecology, ecological restoration and biodiversity. My passion is to design mixed-species plantations that use a diversity of native species and functional species groups, with a cheaper cost but benefit both ecological services and livelihood for local people.
Now I am involved in several ecological projects that are leaded by scientists from University of the Sunshine Coast, The University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University. These projects are related to: 1) the Rainforestation Farming system in Philippines, 2) systematic map review of mixed-species plantations, 3) the plantings for ecological restoration in the North Queensland (Australia), 4) the revegetation on mined land in Stradebroke Island (Australia), 5) the functioning of grazer-grassland interactions by herbivore groups in Switzerland, (6) and the seed bank study for the African lovegrass Bega NSW project.

I am a forester with a broad background interest and experience in many aspects of the forestry and natural resource management industries - farm and community forestry, agroforestry systems, forest ecology, plantation design and management, native forest silviculture, biodiversity conservation, forest economics, ethnobotany, and other social science aspects of environmental management.
I completed my PhD through The University of Queensland in 2011 under the supervision of Dr Nick Emtage and Professor John Herbohn. My project investigated the topic 'Urbanisation of Rural Lands', with a particular focus on the implications for supporting sustainable best-practice forest management among small-scale rural lifestyle landholders. This project was a form of qualitative research, involving elements of the social and biophysical sciences.
In my current role with the Forest Industries Research Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast, I am investigating the potential for deploying small-scale biomass energy systems in the Sunshine Coast region, including analysis of a range of waste wood resources that have potential as bioenergy feedstocks. In collaboration with the local Landcare group (i.e. Noosa & District Landcare), I am also developing a research project that will investigate the growth and biodiversity values of the Sunshine Coast's mixed-species rainforest plantations and their potential to aid the conservation of the region's critically-endangered native lowland sub-tropical rainforest communities.

I have a background of forestry from Bangladesh (Shahjalal University of Science and Technology), Germany (Technical University of Dresden) and Denmark (Copenhagen University). My previous research was on sustainable use, management, and conservation of forests and biodiversity. Currently I am more enthusiastic on the potential role of forest and other less modified landscapes as an ecological niche, their contribution in ecosystem functioning, and the role of various human activities on their structure and performance.
In my doctoral research project titled - 'Shifting cultivation in the upland Philippines: biodiversity and carbon stock assessment, and ecosystem services trade-offs in land-use decisions', I investigated how tree diversity and selected ecosystem properties (i.e. biomass carbon in trees, dead woods and in fine roots, organic carbon pools in soil) in degraded upland landscapes recovers following shifting cultivation - a major tropical land-use and a key driver of deforestation and forest degradation. The research also performed a trade-off analysis incorporating land-use/cover change with key ecosystem services, and identified some socially, ecologically, and economically benign restoration approaches focusing the Philippines government's ongoing major forest rehabilitation effort.

I am a research PhD student at the University Queensland with Jennifer Firn as my primary supervisor and John Herbohn is my associate supervisor. We are involved in an ACIAR project on the Philippine island of Leyte. The aim of the project is to guide the Philippine government on its national greening program, in particular finding the most suitable planting methods for providing multiple ecosystem services.
My research is specially focused on the recruitment beneath different reforestation methods, as an indicator for the longer-term sustainability of these novel forests and to gain insights into key ecosystem functions such as dispersal.

I am Sohel from Bangladesh. I have completed my Bachelor and Master in Forestry from the Department of Forestry and Environmental Science, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. I did my 2nd MSc in Ecohydrology under Erasmus Mundus program. My PhD project is on forest hydrology. I dream to be a scientist in the field of Forest and Catchment management so that I can help my country and the world as well to improve the present situation in this field. I had worked in the diversified field of forestry. My published research papers till now bear the demonstration of it. I have solidify my research interest in the field of forest ecology and management, ecohydrological approach for sustainable catchment management to face current global change impact.
In my ongoing doctoral research project provisionally titled- ‘Forest productivity and water relation in the wet tropical rainforest ', I will be investigating how tree species selection and composition is crucial in the design of reforestation program to maximize diversity and productivity while conserving water resources.

I come from China and completed my Master's degree in Plant Science, specifically plant ecophysiology.
I started my PhD in October 2014. The field I am interested in now is the design of mixed species plantation and better sustainable utilisation of forests for both economic and environmental benefits. For example, the effects of harvest on the regeneration of understorey, productivity and nutrient cycle in tropical forests. Testing the economic and environmental performance of trees planted for restoration.

I have completed my bachelor in Forestry at the São Paulo State University, Brazil, with one extra year of studies at AgroParisTech/ENGREF, in Nancy, France. My previous research, in the Forestry Science and Research Institute, was with the social, economic and ecological evaluation of several Non-Timber Forest Products’ native species for the state of São Paulo in order to subsidize restoration policies of the Secretariat of Environment. I am interested in community forestry, rural sustainable development and public policy. In every research project I have participated, I have always considered the importance of the social and economic aspects for the success of forestry activities.
In my PhD I will follow this same path, with the project titled ‘The socioeconomic function of reforestation projects in the Philippines: adapting the systems to better-fit communities’ needs’. I will evaluate and compare socioeconomically the 18 ‘rainforestation’ plantations with different designs and propose interferences to increase its attractiveness.”
