Prospecting the potential of ecosystem restoration: A proposed framework and a case study
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-11-01)
Projects focusing on the restoration of degraded ecosystems have to be financially appealing, spatially multiscaled, and ecologically efficient. Considering such premises, a model was elaborated to assess the locals in ...
A meta-analysis contrasting active versus passive restoration practices in dryland agricultural ecosystems
(PeerJ Inc., 2020-11)
Restoration of agricultural drylands globally, here farmlands and grazing lands, is a priority for ecosystem function and biodiversity preservation. Natural areas in drylands are recognized as biodiversity hotspots and ...
Genetic diversity and structure in Austrocedrus chilensis populations:implications for dryland forest restoration
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-09)
In South America, 94% of dry-temperate lands present some degree of environmental degradation, highlighting the need for ecological restoration. We analyzed geographic patterns of genetic variation in Austrocedrus chilensis, ...
Passive Restoration in Biodiversity Hotspots: Consequences for an Atlantic Rainforest Lizard Taxocene
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)
Long-term conservation in biodiversity hotspots depends on the recovery of communities in secondary forest fragments. In most cases, however, recovery strategies for these areas are based only on passive restoration. It ...
Passive Restoration in Biodiversity Hotspots: Consequences for an Atlantic Rainforest Lizard Taxocene
(2010)
Long-term conservation in biodiversity hotspots depends on the recovery of communities in secondary forest fragments. In most cases, however, recovery strategies for these areas are based only on passive restoration. It ...
The bird community in naturally regenerating Myracrodruon urundeuva (Anacardiaceae) forest in Southeastern Brazil
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2013)
Simple indicators are good proxies for ecological complexity when assessing Atlantic Forest restoration success
(2022-03-01)
Legal regulation related to restoration monitoring should be supported and validated by studies that evaluate the performance of indicators. In Brazil, a specific state regulation uses three indicators to attest recovery: ...
Similarity in seed removal patterns of four tree species in active and passive restoration treatments of the tropical seasonal forest after 23 years
(2021-11-01)
Seed removal has been considered an important ecological filter in plant community assembly during the first years of restoration. However, little is known about the influence of the restored ecosystems attributes on seed ...
Small mammal abundance and seed predation across boundaries in a restored-grazed woodland interface
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
Passive restoration is an effective tool for the maintenance and conservation of biodiversity. Often areas in recovery are immersed in a matrix of land uses, in which the expansion and intensification of human activities ...
