A review of topsoil governance for mining and agriculture in South Africa and abroad

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Topsoil is taken for granted as the dirt under our feet. Yet, humanity hinges on 15 cm of topsoil. As with potable water, topsoil is a natural resource we depend on daily. This review examines the chronological development of topsoil conservation through the governance of legal and other instruments since 1701. It highlights how topsoil is defined, its

Plant and soil biodiversity reveals past and potential future states of naturally regenerating and planted native forests

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

New medicine for soil restoration: biological soil crust capsules facilitate native plant and soil microbe establishment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Turf transplantation as a potential restoration technique in subtropical grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Subtropical grasslands in southern Brazil suffer from ongoing degradation, while restoration initiatives of these ecosystems are still incipient. Turf transplantation appears as a promising approach for restoring these ecosystems.
