Management practices which retain the natural hierarchies of vegetation patches will help conserve plant community richness and diversity.
Our results showed that the SWS decreased with long-term natural vegetation restoration.
Our results showed that the SWS decreased and the SOCS increased with long-term natural vegetation restoration.
Relationships between vegetation and environmental variables over long-term natural restoration provide some valuable implications for regional ecological restoration and land management.
Protected areas allow maintenance and where necessary restoration of natural vegetation regimes, thus reducing erosion, reviving aquifers and maintaining sustainable livelihoods for local communities.
The results indicated that natural vegetation succession could improve soil quality and promote ecosystem restoration, but it needed a long time under local climate conditions.
Therefore, as agricultural frontiers continue to advance without designating specific sites for conservation, we are losing the possibility to conserve biodiversity adequately.
Though revegetation is more expensive than allowing for natural recruitment, recent evidence has shown that recovery of the natural vegetation without intervention may be limited, and not without risks.
Decreasing natural vegetation may limit the currently relatively cheap and easy access to indigenous plant resources.
Our results suggest that grazing needs to be prevented in areas degraded by clear-cut to allow vegetation restoration through natural succession and avoid further degradation and desertification.
To mitigate the observed localised deforestation, the immediate natural vegetation conservation is required.
The results show that the current practice of protecting comparatively small natural areas is not sufficient to stop the massive destruction of natural vegetation.
