Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…
Field Evaluation of Wood Biochar for Promoted Growth and Carbon Assimilation of Cyclobalanopsis edithiae in Quarry Site
Anthropogenic activities, such as quarrying, result in soil degradation and loss of soil ecological functions. To promote plant growth and improve soil quality, this study evaluated the in situ application of wood biochar in a soil–plant system at a quarry site in Hong Kong. The morphological and physiological characteristics of the plants ( C. edithiae ), as well as carbon assimilation under biochar treatment, were investigated. Biochar derived …
Vegetation regeneration on natural terrain landslides in Hong Kong
Landslides are common in tropical and subtropical regions with hilly terrains and heavy rainstorms, and can cause significant economic, ecological, and social impacts. Natural forest succession is usually slow on landslides due to poor soil structure and lack of woody plant seeds, and often comes with a higher risk of repeated landslides. Active forest restoration has been increasingly suggested as an effective alternative to restore exposed land…

Plant community composition on landfill sites after multiple years of ecological restoration
Ecological restoration of closed landfill sites is often challenging due to poor soil structure and seed bank. Currently, the planting mixes used in closed landfills in Hong Kong involved mainly exotic trees with only a small proportion of native trees and shrubs. In this study, we investigated the vegetation regeneration in seven closed landfill sites in Hong Kong. Our Generalised Linear Mixed Models suggested that native plant regeneration, spe…
