Using unmanned aerial vehicle multispectral data for monitoring the outcomes of ecological restoration in mining areas
The effective and efficient monitoring of revegetation outcomes is a key component of ecosystem restoration. Monitoring often involves labor‐intensive manual methods, which are difficult to deploy when sites are inaccessible or involve large areas of revegetation. This study aimed to identify plant species and quantify α‐diversity index on a sub‐meter scale at Manlailiang Mine Site in Northwestern China using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a …
Microbial inoculation to improve plant performance in mine‐waste substrates
Mining activities alter soil physicochemical and biological properties that are critical for plant establishment. Revitalisation of soil biological properties via microbial inoculations can potentially be adopted to improve vegetation restoration. Here, we evaluate the feasibility of using beneficial microorganisms in the form of commercially available inoculants to enhance plant performance in a non‐toxic and infertile mine‐waste substrate, usin…
Restoring habitat for fire-impacted species’ across degraded Australian landscapes
In the summer of 2019–2020, southern Australia experienced the largest fires on record, detrimentally impacting the habitat of native species, many of which were already threatened by past and current anthropogenic land use. A large-scale restoration effort to improve degraded species habitat would provide fire-affected species with the chance to recover and persist in burnt and unburnt habitat. To facilitate this, decision-makers require informa…
Indigenous and local communities can boost seed supply in the UN decade on ecosystem restoration
The UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration is poised to trigger the recovery of ecosystem services and transform structural injustices across the world in a way unparalleled in human history. The inclusion of diverse Indigenous and local communities to co-create robust native seed supply systems is the backbone to achieve the goals for the Decade. Here we show how community-based organizations have co-developed native seed supply strategies for lands…
Ten golden rules for reforestation to optimize carbon sequestration, biodiversity recovery and livelihood benefits
Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives, many already underway, aim to sequester enormous quantities of carbon to partly compensate for anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which are a major cause of rising global temperatures. However, tree planting that is poorly planned and executed could actually increase CO 2 emissions and have long‐term, deleterious impacts on biodiversity, landscapes and livelihoo…
International principles and standards for the practice of ecological restoration. Second edition
The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) is an international non-profit organization with members in 70 countries. SER advances the science, practice and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture. SER is a dynamic global network, linking researchers, practitioners, land managers, community leaders and deci…
Is a science-policy nexus void leading to restoration failure in global mining
