Abstract Facing the dual threats of climate and socioeconomic changes, how Tibet can seize opportunity for ecological restoration to enhance environmental quality while improving relationship between humans nature is great significance regional sustainable development. Situated in an ecologically vulnerable area, cognitive structure Tibetan residents regarding resources policies a crucial refer...

Restoration strategies for native oyster populations rely on multiple sources of information, which often conflict due to timeand space-varying patterns in abundance and distribution. For instance, strategies based on population connectivity and disease resistance can differ, and extant and historical records of abundance and distribution are often at odds, such that the optimal strategy is unc...

The management of second growth forests to accelerate the restoration of late-successional and old growth characteristics will be one of the greatest challenges for conservation in the redwood region over the next century. In the redwood region, the largest complex of protected areas exists in the north, however >50 percent of these forest reserves are composed of logged, degraded second growth...

Ecological restoration is widely practiced as a means of rehabilitating ecosystems and habitats that have been degraded or impaired through human use or other causes. Restoration practices now are confronted by climate change, which has the potential to influence long-term restoration outcomes. Concepts and attributes from the resilience literature can help improve restoration and monitoring ef...

One of the biggest challenges in large-scale conservation is quantifying connectivity at broad geographic scales and for a large set of species. Because connectivity analyses can be computationally intensive, and the planning process quite complex when multiple taxa are involved, assessing connectivity at large spatial extents for many species turns to be often intractable. Such limitation resu...

Ecological restoration is essential to curb the decline of biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. Since resources available for are limited, efforts must be cost-effective achieve conservation outcomes. Although decision support tools aid in design protected areas, little progress has been made provide such efforts. Here, we introduce restoptr R package, a tool designed identify priority areas ...

An important question for salmon restoration efforts in the western USA is ‘How should habitat restoration plans be altered to accommodate climate change effects on stream flow and temperature?’ We developed a decision support process for adapting salmon recovery plans that incorporates (1) local habitat factors limiting salmon recovery, (2) scenarios of climate change effects on stream flow an...

European biodiversity is on a steep decline, in part due to climate change, pollution, overexploitation and changes land use. In light of this the Habitats Directive, cornerstone EU nature conservation law, has been subject critique. It can be observed that Directive suffers from lacklustre (binding) norms restoration – connectivity change adaptation. However, June 2022, Commission published pr...
