TL;DR: The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework as discussed by the authors, which will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a case study in which environmental deterioration was evaluated in La Montana, an extremely poor and climatically and topographically heterogeneous rural region inhabited by indigenous people in southern Mexico.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a species selection index (SSI) using five independent criteria related to ecological, social and technical information to select species to be introduced in restoration projects of highly diverse ecosystems such as tropical riparian forests.

TL;DR: Several recommendations concerning the management of plants in the nursery and the optimal timing for transplanting the seedlings to reforestation sites are provided.

TL;DR: From results, seed handling routines and germination pre-treatments practices can be derived for six woody leguminous species, all of which can potentially be used in reforestation on degraded soils.
