Conservation-Oriented Restoration of Particular Systems

TL;DR: Investigation of whether canopy tree seedlings have different growth and mortality rates on different microsites in montane rain forests of the western South Island, New Zealand found that seedling growth rates were higher on logs than on the ground at high light levels, but the probability of seedling death on logs was also greater at highLight levels.

TL;DR: It is argued that botanical gardens can play an active role in conservation efforts and can influence broad public opinion and create proper education programs and establish ex situ collections for local wild plants and could propagate and provide material for reintroduction programs.

TL;DR: It is argued that long-view historical ecology has much to offer restoration, but there are few examples of restoration projects explicitly incorporating such information or of research that has evaluated the utility of such perspectives in applied management contexts.

TL;DR: The IUCN protected area management category system provides an internationally recognized, unifying framework for the description and classification of the world's diverse protected areas as mentioned in this paper, which includes six main categories, of which category V has attracted debate because of its emphasis on the role of harmonious people-nature interactions in maintaining biodiversity within cultural landscapes.
