Abstract Introduction Plant diversity and functional traits can improve ecosystem function in degraded plant communities, but there are gaps in our understanding of how to utilize plants to increase soil carbon (C) in the context of ecological restoration.

Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...

The goal of invasive plant management is often to benefit native plants; however, the consequences of invasive plant management on native plants are not often assessed. While this is true generally for invasive plant management, it is particularly true for targeted grazing using livestock, such as goats, which is a rapidly expanding but little‐studied ...

MODELING ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF POST-FIRE REVEGETATION IN THE GREAT BASIN [PDF]
This study employs a Markov chain model of vegetation dynamics to examine the economic and ecological benefits of post-fire revegetation in the Great Basin sagebrush steppe.

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.

Optimising the spatial pattern of landscape revegetation [PDF]
The spatial pattern of landscape reconstruction makes a substantial difference to environmental outcomes. We develop a spatially explicit bio-economic model that optimises the reconstruction of a heavily cleared landscape through revegetation.

Abstract Introduction Removal of Common buckthorn (Rhanmus cathartica) can leave legacies that promote rapid reestablishment of managed populations. By sowing native plant seeds into management areas, managed communities can exert greater biotic resistance against reestablishing invasive plants.

ABSTRACT International education practices and trends, particularly student mobility, remain largely shaped by Global North perspectives. Although scholars have repeatedly called for the dismantling of Western dominance and supremacy in international education, there is still limited understanding of how this can be achieved and what the decolonising ...

Potential of nitrogen-fixing symbiotic systems for revegetation strategies of calcareous quarries in Mediterranean conditions [PDF]
Anthropogenic degradation activities (overgrazing, deforestation, quarry exploitation¿) together with a long dry and hot summer, with scarce, erratic but torrential rainfalls, is a major threat to Mediterranean ecosystem sustainability.
