Restoration of Degraded Tropical Forest Landscapes
Science, 2005The current scale of deforestation in tropical regions and the large areas of degraded lands now present underscore the urgent need for interventions to restore biodiversity, ecological functioning, and the supply of goods and ecological services previously used by poor rural communities. Traditional timber plantations have supplied some goods but have

What Is Forest Landscape Restoration?
2012The extent and distribution of global forests is a matter of considerable concern. The overall rate of deforestation remains high although recent reports suggest it is finally beginning to decline (FAO 2011). But this hides regional differences. In temperate regions net forest cover is increasing because of afforestation and natural expansion of ...

Restoring Landscapes—Governing Place: A Learning Approach to Forest Landscape Restoration
Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2013Forest landscape restoration is gaining ground, not least because of the role of forests in mitigating climate change. At present, pilot projects are initiated to generate “good practice” and “lessons learned” that can be scaled up to higher levels of policy making. However, landscape restoration is not new.

We describe two case studies in this chapter on restoring mined lands. We first provide restoration practitioners (RPs) an example on how our fivestep adaptive restoration procedure is being put into practice on landscapes disturbed by open-cut, bauxite (aluminum) mining operations. We present major findings from restoration projects we participated in

Forest Landscape Restoration: Restoring What and for Whom?
2012[Extract] This chapter will argue that restoration science has proven far better at solving the problems of 'how' to restore various sorts of degraded land than at addressing the problem of "what" to restore. The establishment and maintenance of vegetation on degraded sites and the use of land preparation techniques, cove rand nurse crops and the ...

Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners’ efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development.
