, 2000 Peatlands, which are dominant features of the Canadian landscape, cover approximately 1136 x 103 km2, or 13% of the land area. These peatlands are essential to the global environment because they retain, purify and deliver fresh water, store carbon, absorb pollutants and support numerous species of plants and wildlife, many of them identified as ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Freshwater ecosystem restoration must be rapidly scaled up to address climate change and biodiversity loss, as reflected in the 2024 European Union (EU) Nature Restoration Regulation. Achieving national and international restoration targets is constrained by a persistent funding gap.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcomes in wetlands remain poorly understood, particularly how restored ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration project in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta involves flooding of delta lands; however, concerns have been raised that such flooding will increase the hydraulic pressures on subsided adjacent islands and threaten levee stability.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.The Aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is the rarest songbird of continental Europe and a fen mire specialist. The systematic drainage in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted in the loss of almost all fen mires in the breeding range. In our conservative and cautious estimate, we assume that the total historical population was around ...

Multi‐year occupancy and habitat use in a threatened butterfly reintroduced onto a restored peatland
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over half of insect species reintroductions are unsuccessful, frequently because of insufficient habitat resources and a knowledge‐gap regarding the target species habitat requirements. Multi‐season occupancy models, seldom used with invertebrates, offer the opportunity to disentangle the effects of habitat suitability and ...
