Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Legacy effects of livestock grazing on vegetation of an arid landscape exist more than 30 years after livestock were excluded

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Globally, livestock grazing is a key driver of vegetation degradation in arid rangelands. This degradation tends to be most severe near artificial water points which are focal points for livestock activity. Conservation reserves have been established on former rangelands; however, the timeframes for vegetation recovery following ...

Drivers of planted seedling survival and growth in a Mediterranean‐climate woodland restoration experiment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential facilitative effects of plant–plant ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
