Abstract Process-based restoration of fluvial systems removes human constraints on nature to promote ecological recovery. By freeing natural processes, a resilient ecosystem may be restored with minimal corrective intervention. However, there is lack meaningful design criteria allow designers evaluate whether project likely achieve process-based objectives. We describe four project's potential:...

Saltmarsh is a coastal ecosystem providing crucial services, and its continued degradation fragmentation has drawn increasing attention. However, how to effectively restore the connectivity between fragmented saltmarsh patches remains an open challenge. In this study, we developed metric modelling framework that prioritised for restoration. To demonstrate our approach, simulated spatially expli...

Restoration and rewilding are both relevant conservation approaches to addressing the current nature, health climate crises. Here, we discuss benefits of integrating restoration in projects. We highlight how such integration could increase amount space available for nature recovery; boost knowledge exchange raise recovery ambitions; enhance landscape heterogeneity dynamics improve large-scale c...

In many agricultural landscapes, it is important to restore networks of forests provide habitat and stepping stones for forest specialist taxa. More knowledge is, however, needed on how facilitate the immigration such taxa in restored patches. Here, we present first chronosequence study quantify dynamics credits plants post-arable We studied distribution herbaceous plant species 54 broadleaved ...
