Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Disturbance legacies in arid environments shape recovery of former agricultural land

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Increasingly, arid agricultural land is being permanently taken out of irrigated production due to more frequent drought, higher temperatures, and the overconsumption of groundwater, with important ramifications for ecological recovery.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Rainwater harvesting outperforms traditional site preparation methods for restoring semiarid sites with Black locust in western Türkiye

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Intensified drought in the Mediterranean Basin poses challenges for conventional afforestation. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a climate‐adaptive solution that restores soil hydrological functions and buffers seedlings against drought in semiarid ecosystems.
