  • Prioritising actions over space and time in multi-habitat ecological restoration

    Open AccessBen L Gilby, ANDREW D OLDS et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2026

    Restoring multi-habitat landscapes requires decisions on habitat placement and sequence. Animal distributions can indicate landscape change, yet few studies have leveraged such data to inform landscape-scale restoration decisions. We investigated this using data describing fish assemblages from 13 estuaries and four coastal habitats (seagrass, mangroves, reefs, log snags) in southeast Queensland, Australia, over two years (n > 1000 surveys). Dist…

  • Safe harbours for the intruders of the sea

    Open AccessLaura Avila-Turriago, Jasmine B D Jaffrés et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2026References: 2

    Artificial structures (AS) and natural reefs (NRs) have similar richness of invasives. • AS support significantly higher abundance of invasive species than NRs. • Inadequate study designs and scarce data create persistent knowledge gaps. • Anticipating invasions through planning and monitoring is the best strategy. Artificial structures, both coastal (e.g. piers, seawalls) and offshore (e.g. platforms), have been hypothesised to support greater a…

  • Enhanced but highly variable biodiversity outcomes from coastal restoration

    Open AccessMichael Sievers, Rod M Connolly et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Coastal ecosystems are being restored to combat environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Colonization of restored sites by non-habitat-forming animals improves outcomes for ecosystems and society, yet there has been no review of how animals respond to coastal restoration. Here, we extracted 5,133 response ratios from 160 studies to show how coastal ecosystem restoration benefits animals as individuals, populations, and communities. Abunda…

  • The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool

    Open AccessYasmine Gatt, Yasmine M Gatt et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Restoration is a key component of global and national efforts to combat ecosystem degradation, reduce biodiversity loss, and adapt to climate change, and there is currently an impetus to scale up restoration efforts. However, our ability to track progress toward restoration targets is limited by the lack of consistent and standardized data on objectives, interventions, and outcomes. To address this, a collaboration of conservation practitioners a…

  • Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally

    Open AccessThomas A Worthington, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    Mangrove forests are found on sheltered coastlines in tropical, subtropical, and some warm temperate regions. These forests support unique biodiversity and provide a range of benefits to coastal communities, but as a result of large-scale conversion for aquaculture, agriculture, and urbanization, mangroves are considered increasingly threatened ecosystems. Scientific advances have led to accurate and comprehensive global datasets on mangrove exte…

  • Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally

    Open AccessThomas A Worthington, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    (One Earth 2, 429–443; May 22, 2020) In the preparation of the originally published perspective, text from an internal Nature Conservancy working document was unfortunately included without proper attribution to its authors, who are not co-authors of this paper. In the online version of the article, the section “Prioritization of Conservation and Rehabilitation” has now been corrected to cite the framework developed by McGowan et al. (as referenc…
