Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

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.

Toward a deeper understanding of recovery trajectories in forest ecosystem restoration: a machine learning approach

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The lack of integrated monitoring approaches and indicators hampers the understanding of forest restoration trajectories, as the recovery process involves multiple aspects of the ecosystem, which can respond differently to environmental changes due to their interactions and synergies.

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Assessing working lands as habitat for disturbance‐dependent birds using autonomous recording units

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Working lands can provide habitat for declining disturbance‐dependent birds, such as Bachman's Sparrow (Peucaea aestivalis) and Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), but it remains unclear whether restoration following intensive land use (e.g. surface mining) yields habitat comparable to less intensive land uses (e.g.

Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...
