1. Active restoration leads to rapid recovery of aboveground biomass but limited recovery of fish diversity in planted mangrove forests of the North Brazil Shelf

Author:

Subject:
aboveground biomass; algivores; carbon sequestration; fish; forest restoration; forest trees; mangrove forests; seedlings; species diversity; Brazil; Guyana
Abstract:
... Coastal degradation has spurred active restoration of mangrove ecosystems, from local initiatives to global commitments to increase mangrove forest area by 20% over the next decade. Mangrove restoration projects typically have multiple objectives, including carbon storage, coastal resilience, and fisheries recovery. How planting seedlings, the most common form of active restoration, can promote re ...

Abstract:
... Invasive plant species, such as Carpobrotus species, threaten the biodiversity of Mediterranean islands. Ecological restoration can include the control of invasive plants, but the effect of Carpobrotus removal on arthropods is understudied. Here, we evaluated the influence of Carpobrotus removal on beetle assemblages, on a Mediterranean island. Between November 2011 and February 2012, we manually ...

Elymus trachycaulus; aboveground biomass; biomass production; cultivars; drought; drought tolerance; indigenous species; land restoration; perennial grasses; plant height
Abstract:
... Numerous functional traits have been identified as key contributors to plant performance under drought. However, many of these traits, specifically root traits, are rarely considered in the development of native plant cultivars. In this study, we assessed whether cultivars of the perennial grass Elymus trachycaulus (Slender wheatgrass) developed for drought differ in (a) drought resistance (i.e. a ...

Abstract:
... Ecological restoration is an integral part of conservation efforts worldwide. Projects are actioned at all stakeholder levels, with many projects claiming success. However, debate over what constitutes “success” in the context of ecological restoration is long‐running. Local communities commonly collaborate with government agencies in restoration projects, with many taking on responsibilities for ...

Abstract:
... Coastal wetland restoration can be used to offset past wetland losses and/or reduce future losses due to land‐use changes, rising sea levels, and accelerating climate change.

Abstract:
... The importance of equity has been emphasized in climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, and ecosystem restoration. However, equity implications are rarely considered explicitly in restoration projects. Although the role of equity has been studied in the context of biodiversity conservation and environmental governance, environmental variables are often ignored in equity studies, and s ...

Abstract:
... There is an increasing need to establish populations of threatened plants in threat‐free habitat to prevent species extinction. The amount of genetic diversity in founding plants will influence whether the new population has the capacity to persist and evolve over time, and factors that influence the maintenance of genetic diversity, such as the mating systems, will also play a role in population ...

Abstract:
... Marine ecosystem engineers such as seagrasses and bivalves create important coastal habitats sustaining high biodiversity and ecosystem services. Restoring these habitats is difficult due to the importance of feedback mechanisms that can require large‐scale efforts to ensure success. Incorporating facilitative interactions could increase the feasibility and success of small‐scale restoration effor ...

Abstract:
... Seed sourcing for restoration measures is a currently highly debated issue in conservation ecology. Where to take the seeds from, if reintroduction of plant species is necessary? In many countries, seed transfer zones have been defined to preserve genetic variability and to provide locally adapted plants. However, delineation of seed transfer zones mostly relies on climatic gradients, ignoring oth ...

Abstract:
... Restoration of kelp forests typically relies on transplanting sporophylls to new locations and has limited application in regions with low remnant kelp cover. Cultivated kelp requires fewer sporophylls and is a potential alternative and sustainable source of transplants for large‐scale restoration projects. Naturally sourced fertile sporophylls, however, are still required as “seed” stock in culti ...

Abstract:
... On many Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, colonization by humans brought invasive species, native vegetation destruction, and coconut plantations, leading to the decimation of seabird populations. The coconut industry on oceanic islands has since crashed, leaving the legacy of altered, impoverished ecosystems. Many island restoration projects eradicate invasive species, particularly rats, with the ...

Abstract:
... Tree encroachment threatens the biodiversity and ecological functioning of grasslands worldwide. Reversing effects of encroachment requires not only removing trees, but limiting subsequent invasions, which can stall grassland reassembly.

Abstract:
... Perennial grasses are often seeded after disturbances to provide ecosystem services and prevent invasive plant dominance.

Abstract:
... When faced with the loss of a population, resource managers often feel compelled to choose restoration strategies perceived to have low risk, such as the management of the ecological components of the system or the application of regulatory measures. It can be counterintuitive to share decision‐making and resource management with those who want to harvest an imperiled population, yet this social–e ...

Abstract:
... Most coral reef restoration efforts are carried out over 1–2 years, and few have assessed long‐term (over 3 years) outcomes. Although studies of outplantation of sexually propagated corals have reported promising initial results, few studies have followed outplanted corals to maturity. Here, we monitored sexually propagated Acropora verweyi corals for 4 years post‐outplantation to determine their ...

The use of targeted grazing to control undesired plants as a component of ecological restoration is gaining in popularity, but there is considerable uncertainty among land managers about the effectiveness of this approach.

Abstract:
... The ability to successfully transplant adult kelp has applications not only for ecological experiments, but also for habitat conservation and restoration projects. However, approaches to the long‐term transplanting of adult kelp (especially for stalked or ‘stipitate’ species), and the communication of these methods, has been relatively haphazard, often due to poor results and excessive mortality. ...

Abstract:
... Ecological restoration is increasingly being upscaled to larger spatial scales of tens to hundreds of kilometers. Yet the complex logistics and high costs of ecological restoration mean that actions must be placed strategically at local scales of tens of meters to maximize ecological benefits and reduce socioeconomic costs. Despite the purported use of systematic planning tools for allocating rest ...
