Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...

Trait‐based recovery of insect functional diversity following pine removal in a shrubland biodiversity hotspot

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction A primary goal of habitat restoration is the return of both taxonomic and functional diversity to support ecosystem resilience and functioning. This study assessed how insect functional biodiversity (focusing on beetles [Coleoptera] and ants [Formicidae]) responds to invasive pine (Pinus spp.) removal, in a Mediterranean‐type ...

Estimating costs of ecological restoration across degradation scenarios in South Brazilian grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassland ecosystems are among the most threatened worldwide, and the Campos Sulinos—a region of subtropical grasslands in southern Brazil—experiences degradation driven by multiple factors. This study provides initial cost estimates for different restoration approaches, offering guidance for technical and budgetary planning ...

Tree species diversity of coastal lowland semideciduous forest fragments in northern Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Bioscience Journal, 2014
Habitat destruction has caused Brazilian coastal lowland semideciduous forests to suffer severe fragmentation. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, especially in the northern region, these fragments are under severe threat of destruction, while data on their ...

Assessing functional diversity and composition using multispectral images in Atlantic Forest restoration sites

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction By focusing on the specific functional traits of species, we can better understand how ecosystems function and respond to environmental change. However, field measurements of functional traits can be time‐consuming and costly, whereas remote sensing data can serve as viable alternatives for studying biodiversity at larger scales ...

Seeding in single species aggregations promotes evenness of diverse shrub species in Banksia woodlands in the first year of growth

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation
