You have a wonderful study. I suggest you establish first the purpose, significance, and variables of your study that will serve as your parameter. Some questions related to your topic under study are: what are the driving forces that demand forest regeneration; what are the common practices in forest regeneration; what are the factors that impact environmental sustainability. You may also read about silviculture. This is related to your study. You may also contemplate on forest regeneration in building environmental sustainability. This is related to your study. Best wishes. Feel free to email me "at [email protected]
Thank you. But if you would choose to consider environmental factors (which is very broad) in studying regeneration dynamics , what would it be? considering that we are in the tropics.
My pleasure to share my thought Wilbert. How broad or narrow the scope of your study depends on the existing condition of the environment where your study will take place. It depends on environmental issue and concern that demands an investigation on forest regeneration according to the purpose of your study.
