Revegetation of a Denuded Area [PDF]
The Journal of Ecology, 1913 In July, i9Ii, I examined and described' the beginnings of vegetation on a gravel area that had just been laid bare along the Long Island Railroad west of Cold Spring Harbor station. Owing to difficulty in obtaining right of way east of this point, the projected railroad was not built, and this area has been left almost untouched by man since that time.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study introduces the ‘global forestation network’ (GFN)—an arrangement of actors that shape afforestation, reforestation, and forest restoration activities worldwide. These activities typically involve planting trees, and are motivated by supporting biodiversity, local communities, and climate change mitigation. At the GFN's core sit the ‘

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is driving increasingly frequent and severe weather events that can undermine the effectiveness of conservation interventions for threatened species, yet the extent and mechanisms of such impacts remain poorly understood. We assessed both peer‐reviewed and gray literature to determine how climate adaptation interventions have ...

PLoS ONE, 2019 Because of disturbance and plant species loss at the local level, many arid ecosystems in the western USA benefit from revegetation. There is a growing interest in improving revegetation success by purposefully inoculating revegetation plants with ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Restoration projects often lack clear information on economic costs and ecological benefits, making it difficult for decision makers effectively plan and resource implementation. This study tested three revegetation methods using a combined cost‐accounting and theory of change framework, comparing expected and observed results to reveal which ...

Roadside pollinator populations and the negative impact of intensive roadside vegetation maintenance
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Less intensively managed roadsides had higher numbers of flower flies and bees; bee diversity was also higher in those roadsides. Community composition was similar across both management types, indicating that roadsides support a fairly homogeneous pollinator community, regardless of management.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

River Murray Dryland Corridor Revegetation Policy Options. Stage 1 Report for the River Murray Dryland Corridor Project. [PDF]
The aim of this report is to investigate policy options to encourage cost effective large scale revegetation in the River Murray Corridor that increases biodiversity, wind erosion and salinity benefits in ways that are considered to be equitable by the ...

Restoration 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.
