Conservation-Oriented Restoration of Particular Systems

TL;DR: Because species richness for many taxa appears to recover relatively rapidly in secondary forests, conservation of secondary forests may be an effective investment in future diversity.

TL;DR: Detailed examination of the pattern of vegetation on the ground before, during and after a stage-to-stage transition in a succession might not only clarify the sequence of spatial pattern but also help to elucidate the mechanism of succession itself.

TL;DR: A document that provides standards to guide practitioners, operational personnel, planners, managers, regulators, and funding agencies involved in restoring degraded ecosystems anywhere in the world- whether terrestrial, freshwater, coastal or marine.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a data-based approach to address these challenges and to achieve medium and large-scale ecological restoration of riparian areas on private lands in the state of Sao Paulo, southeastern Brazil.
