Legacy effects of livestock grazing on vegetation of an arid landscape exist more than 30 years after livestock were excluded

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Integrating technical and scientific approaches to restore rupicolous plants threatened by climbing activities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rocky habitats are fragile ecosystems that host unique biodiversity and are increasingly threatened by the rapid expansion of outdoor climbing. In the northwestern region of El Bierzo (Spain), populations of the endemic rupicolous species Petrocoptis grandiflora and P. pyrenaica ssp. viscosa have experienced severe declines linked

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

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...
