Pollination networks and plant local adaptation: the importance of serving the pollinator community in restoration

Restoration Ecology
The need to consider present and future species interactions can make it difficult to ensure the long‐term effectiveness of a restoration effort. We designed an experimental restoration garden in an arid system to investigate the relationship between ...

Responses of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Communities to Long-Term Mining and Passive Restoration

Plants
Mining activities cause strong soil alterations, such as heavy metal (HM) pollution, which decreases the diversity of plant communities and rhizospheric microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The polymetallic Paramillos de Uspallata

Seed priming as a promising technique for sustainable restoration of dryland

Restoration Ecology
The success of plant growth and development in dryland restoration relies on seed germination, seedling development, and establishment. The lack of rainfall and extreme temperature variations in arid regions impede germination and seedling establishment,

Long‐term response of Posidonia oceanica meadow restoration at the population and plant level: implications for management decisions

Restoration Ecology
In recent years, numerous efforts to transplant Posidonia oceanica have been carried out in the Mediterranean Basin for experimental and large‐scale restoration purposes. However, data on the long‐term outcomes of these initiatives remain scarce.

Propagating eelgrass (Zostera marina) from cuttings in land–sea combination systems: a novel method to improve the sustainability of seagrass restoration

Restoration Ecology
The combination of a land‐based system and natural habitat can propagate donor plants from cuttings for use in seagrass restoration projects; however, the appropriate period for land‐based cultivation is unclear.

Inoculation with rhizospheric microorganisms in tropical dry forests restoration increased microbial diversity but had no effect on seedling growth

Restoration Ecology
The diversity of soil microbial organisms is rarely considered in restoration scenarios, even though this diversity is an important component of the ecological complexity that we aim to understand.

Evaluating Multiple Oyster Reef Restoration Practices Across Space and Time in Coastal Rhode Island

Ecological Restoration
Determining the efficacy of restoration practices is critical for enhancing and rebuilding degraded ecosystems. A fundamental question in marine restoration design is whether to employ active (e.g., using living plants or oysters that form the biogenic ...

Soil acidification controls invasive plant species in the restoration of degraded Cerrado grasslands

Restoration Ecology
The Cerrado, South America's largest savanna, has acidic, nutrient‐poor soils and its native plants thrive under these conditions. However, abandoned pastures historically undergo changes in chemical properties due to interventions like liming and ...

Frequency of association: a key indicator for assessing livestock grazing effects on dryland plant interactions, applicable in restoration

Restoration Ecology
In arid ecosystems, vegetation patches promote biological activity and ecosystem functioning through species interactions that mitigate adverse environmental impacts. However, overgrazing disrupts those interactions, contributing to desertification.
