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 ...

Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere: a process‐ and lineage‐based framework for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Early eco‐physiological responses in a direct seeding experiment: a non‐destructive approach reveals contrasted strategies in tropical tree species

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conservation physiology is a valuable tool for addressing the major challenges of tropical restoration programs. One key issue is the need for non‐destructive methods to study the functional responses of highly threatened species in order to minimize impacts on natural populations.

Effect of some Improvement Works on the Floristic Composition of the Vegetal Cover in Nardus stricta Grasslands

, 2023
The study of the floristic composition of Nardus stricta grasslands improved through fertilisation, amendment and re-sowing for 18 years points out a structural change of the vegetal cover compared to the initial state of the floristic composition ...

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Monitoring of rainforest restoration is predominantly short‐term and focused on forest structure in Australia's Wet Tropics

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration is increasing worldwide, driven by global initiatives and climate policy, yet the speed and scale of current efforts raise important questions about evaluating success. In tropical forests, restoration outcomes are inherently multidimensional and prolonged with structural attributes such as canopy closure ...

Reference wet grasslands to support conservation and restoration assessments in the Brazilian Savanna

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassy wetlands of the Cerrado provide key ecosystem services but remain largely overlooked and are rapidly disappearing, threatened by land use change and climate‐driven changes in hydrological cycles. As restoration initiatives are urgent, reference ecosystems and robust indicators are essential to guide conservation and ...
