Toward eco‐sustainable afforestation in arid lands: key lessons from a 23‐year‐old arboretum of native and non‐native trees in Jordan

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is a key restoration strategy for mitigating land degradation and desertification in semiarid regions. However, evaluating the ecological impacts of tree species used for sustainable dryland restoration is crucial. For example, non‐native tree species may become invasive, with negative effects on native understory ...
