Soil health metrics for assessment of floodplain restorations

Environmental Research Letters
Abstract While healthy soils are critical for stream and floodplain restoration, little guidance is available to restoration practitioners on which soil metrics to measure and when to expect the signs of recovery post-restoration. Here, we address this important knowledge gap through a study of 37 soil metrics for 11 restored floodplains

Restoring off‐highway vehicle trails in flood‐prone and riparian forests using balsam poplar cuttings

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Recreational off‐highway vehicle (OHV) use can cause significant disturbance to natural areas. The use of local balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) cuttings may be a solution to supply native plant material for the restoration of flood‐prone and riparian environments.

Strengthening human–nature connections in agricultural landscapes through the EU Nature Restoration Regulation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction With its 2024 Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR), the European Union (EU) aims to halt and reverse the degradation of European ecosystems by restoring 20% of its respective land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need by 2050. By 2027, all member states will have to submit National Restoration Plans (NRPs).

Earlier reproductive phenology of restored grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants introduced to degraded ecosystems during restoration efforts often face novel environmental conditions. Consequently, plant functional traits can differ between restored and reference sites, even within the same species. Studies on such intraspecific variation mainly focused on vegetative traits, while the timing of life ...

Effects of low‐tech, process‐based restoration on riparian plant communities and soil moisture of streams in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the United States

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.

From conflict to collaboration: how local natural resource management conventions foster peacebuilding between farmers and herders in central Mali

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract In the Inner Niger Delta, socio‐spatial transformations have profoundly reshaped relationships between communities and natural resources, intensifying tensions around access and management. In this context, local conventions (LCs) have emerged as essential instruments of social and environmental regulation in response to resource degradation ...

Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.

Strategies for Mitigating Seasonal Heavy Metal Release in River Sediments Using Natural Mineral‐Based Materials

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents an ecological and geochemical assessment of trace element contamination in the Huyva River (Ukraine), a right tributary of the Teteriv River that supplies drinking water to Zhytomyr and nearby settlements. The research involved monitoring key physicochemical parameters, including pH, mineralization, hardness, and major ion ...
