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 ...

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increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets.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 ...

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.

A floristic study of Salaheddinkola Forests, Nowshahr, Iran
, 2014 This paper reports the floristic survey on the Salaheddinkola forests (Nowshahr). These forests posses high variations in elevation ranges and special physiographic properties, which form the growth platform for most of the typical Hyrcanian forest ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
