The Nature Restoration Regulation and the Water Framework Directive: enhancing restoration of freshwater ecosystems, or muddying the waters?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991 (NRR) both require Member States to restore freshwater ecosystems. This study analyzes how these two instruments interact, identifying both synergies and conflicts.

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

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 ...

Restoring the lost Ericaceae of Botany Bay's scrublands through a paleoecological approach in southeastern Sydney, Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction With anthropogenic environmental change accelerating, incorporating long‐term perspectives into ecological restoration is essential. Paleoecological evidence increasingly indicates that many perceived “natural” landscapes under current conservation regimes are, in fact, cultural or modern systems.

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.

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...
