Fifteen essential science advances needed for effective restoration of the world's forest landscapes
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify 15 essential science advances required to facilitate long-term forest landscape restoration (FLR) success for nature and people, and highlight that the greatest science challenges lie in the conceptualization, planning and assessment stages of restoration, which require an evidence base for why, where and how to restore, at realistic scales.

Forest restoration is more than firing seeds from a drone
TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarize some aspects to take into account before considering drone seeding as an efficient and widely applicable technology for forest restoration, and conclude that the first step should be to increase the precision of drone-seeding in order to concentrate the efforts in the best microsites for establishment and reduce the number of seeds needed and the cost of the whole operation.

Priya Shyamsundar,Francois Cohen,Timothy M. Boucher,Timm Kroeger,James Thomas Erbaugh,Gina Moon Waterfield,Caitlin Clarke,Susan C. Cook-Patton,Edenise Garcia,Kevin Juma,Sunpreet Kaur,Craig Leisher,Daniel C. Miller,Ke Oester,Sushil Saigal,J. Siikamaki,Erin O. Sills,Tint Lwin Thaung,Bambang Trihadmojo,Fernando C. Veiga,Jeffrey R. Vincent,Yu Yi,Xiaoquan Zhang +22 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used global spatial data on trees and people, national indicators of enabling conditions, and micro-level expert information to estimate tree cover restoration potential in croplands, pasturelands, and degraded forestlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digitalizing forest landscape restoration: a social and political analysis of emerging technological practices
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate how digital platforms specifically reconfigure restoration practices, resources, and policy across scales, and identify four drivers of technological developments, including: scientific expertise to optimize decisions; capacity building through digital networks; digital tree-planting markets to operate supply chains; and community participation to foster co-creation.

Plant and soil biodiversity are essential for supporting highly multifunctional forests during Mediterranean rewilding
Guiyao Zhou,Manuel Esteban Lucas-Borja,Shengen Liu,Hang-Wei Hu,Ji-Zheng He,Xinxin Wang,Zheng Jiang,Xuhui Zhou,Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the changes in multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in a 120-year forest succession after harvest to identify potential trade-offs and further assess the link between above and below ground biodiversity and function.

Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities
Norman Myers,Russell A. Mittermeier,Cristina G. Mittermeier,Gustavo A. B. da Fonseca,Jennifer Kent +4 more
TL;DR: A ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape Ecology: The Effect of Pattern on Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the characterization of landscape patterns and their effects on ecological processes and demonstrate that a long history of ecological studies provides a basis for the study of spatial patterns and landscape-level processes.

Restoration of Degraded Tropical Forest Landscapes
TL;DR: The current scale of deforestation in tropical regions and the large areas of degraded lands now present underscore the urgent need to restore biodiversity, ecological functioning, and the supply of goods and ecological services previously used by poor rural communities.
