Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Impacts of Highland cattle browsing on encroaching Alnus viridis shrubs

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In several European mountain chains, the expansion of the tall shrub Alnus viridis into mountain pastures has altered vegetation structure and composition, reduced plant species diversity, and diminished forage quality. Recent woody encroachment research has explored the use of robust livestock breeds, such as Highland cattle (Bos

Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...
