This paper describes the ecological structure of 17 vegetation stands and the usefulness of satellite images to characterize a disturbed tropical urban 18 forest located in the lower floodplain of the Chao Phraya River, Thailand. Nine representative plots 19 were established in Bang Kachao peninsula in 4 tropical urban forest types: rehabilitation forest, 20 home-garden agroforestry, mangrove and park. The correlation between NDVI and LAI obtained 21 from satellite images and plant structure from field surveys were analyzed. The NDVI had the 22 highest relationship with stand factors for the number of families, number of species, Shannon- 23 Weiner’s diversity index and total basal area.

This study aims to determine a diversity of green algae in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park during November 2015 to March 2016. Five sampling stations were selected and data were collected monthly. The planktonic algae were collected from water surface for 10 liters by filtered through a plankton net (21 µm mesh size) into 1 liter. The precipitated pellets after centrifugation of water samples were used for algal identification. Twenty species, 11 genera and 6 families of green algae were recorded. Green algae in the genus Scenedesmus, Tetradesmus, Desmodesmus and Tetraedron were typically found in this study period. The water quality in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park was classified to be in the meso-eutrophic status (moderately polluted) by using AARL-PP score.

Whelan & Orawan Yafa Layout by Pongsak Chanon Design by Suthida Buasukkasem Photos without credits are courtesy of mission observers ISBN: 978-616-90144-2-3 Book cover design by Akanit Srisuttiwong Printed in Bangkok, Thailand FOREWORD ANFREL was established in 1997 as Asia’s first regional network of civil society organisations promoting democratization. It has a strong network of over 20 partner organisations within Asia from whom it draws experienced election observers to take part in its various missions. ANFREL has significant experience coordinating international election observation missions in Thailand, receiving international funding to observe the 2001, 2005, and 2007 general elections. Through our work and the work of Thai election observation organizations such as the Open Forum for Democracy Foundation (PollWatch) and the People’s Network for Elections in Thailand (P-NET), I believe that election observers made a significant contribution towards not just the fairness of this election, but towards strengthening Thailand’s democracy in the long-term. This report is the product of information and analysis from the ANFREL observers and Secretariat. It covers the pre and post election periods as well as Election Day itself.
