State‐and‐transition models as a contextual framework for leading indicators of restoration trajectories

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1345-1358, May 2026.
Abstract New incentives and instruments for financing ecosystem restoration require frameworks that support planning, monitoring and reporting, including the identification and use of leading indicators. Leading indicators have the potential to predict the outcomes of restoration interventions before full recovery has occurred.
