Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits; however, there a lack of rigorous comparison cobenefit delivery across different approaches. Through global synthesis, we used 25,950 matched data pairs from 264 studies in 53 countries assess how climate, soil, water, wood production services, addition biodiversity, compares range tree plantations native forests. Benefits aboveground carbon storage, water provisioning, especially soil erosion control are better delivered by forests, with compositionally simpler, younger drier regions performing particularly poorly. However, exhibit an advantage production. These results underscore important trade-offs among environmental goals that policy-makers must navigate meeting forest commitments.

ABSTRACT Succession is a fundamental concept in ecology because it indicates how species populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time on new substrate or after disturbance. A mechanistic understanding of succession needed to predict will respond land‐use design effective ecosystem restoration strategies. Yet, despite century conceptual advances comprehensive successional theory lacking. Here we provide an overview 19 theories (‘models’) their key points, group them based similarity, explain development ideas suggestions move forward. Four groups models can be recognised. The first ( patch & plants ) focuses at the level consists three subgroups that originated early 20th century. One subgroup processes (dispersal, establishment, performance) operate sequentially during succession. Another emphasises individualistic responses succession, this driven by traits. last vegetation structure underlying demographic second provides more holistic view considering ecosystem, its biota, interactions, diversity, processes. third landscape considers larger spatial scale includes effect surrounding matrix as distance neighbouring patches determines potential for seed dispersal, quality abundance composition sources biotic dispersal vectors. fourth socio‐ecological systems human component focusing where management practices have long‐lasting legacies pathways regrowing vegetations deliver range services local global stakeholders. four differ (patch, landscape) organisational (plant species, system), increase scope, reflect increasingly broader perspective time. They coincide approximately with periods prevailing time, although all views still coexist. are: (from 1910 onwards) was seen through lens replacement; communities 1965 when there succession; landscapes 2000 realised strongly impact pathways, increased remote‐sensing technology allowed better quantification context; people 2015 societal drivers strong effects are important well‐being, most successful done people. Our review suggests hierarchical framework Pickett best starting point forward already several factors, flexible, enabling application different systems. mainly replacement could improved occurring scales (population, community, integrating recent developments other models: (landscape, region), temporal (ecosystem centuries, evolution), taking (landscape integrity composition, disperser community) factors (previous current intensity) into account. Such new, tested using combination empirical research, experiments, process‐based modelling novel tools. Applying seres across broadscale environmental disturbance gradients allows insight what matter under conditions.

Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) is considered worldwide as a powerful approach to recover ecological functionality improve human well-being in degraded deforested landscapes. The literature produced by FLR programs could be valuable tool understand how they align with the existing principles of FLR. We conducted systematic qualitative review identify main concepts definitions adopted from 1980 2017 underlying actions commonly suggested enable implementation. identified three domains 12 associated principles—(i) Project management governance domain contains five principles: (a) scale, (b) Prioritization, (c) Legal normative compliance, (d) Participation, (e) Adaptive management; (ii) Human aspect four Enhance livelihoods, Inclusiveness equity, Economic diversification, Capacity building; (iii) Ecological Aspects Biodiversity conservation, heterogeneity connectivity, Provision ecosystem goods services.

Due to the expeditious rise in anthropogenic activities and rapid extractive pressure, protected areas Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) are experiencing significant losses ecological diversity a substantial decline potential for carbon sequestration climate change mitigation. The quantification of understanding its corresponding economic gain/loss crucial raising strict preservative concerns with rich values. Transitions land use cover (LULC) trajectories from historical future scenarios impact dynamics storage terrestrial ecosystems. present study extends comprehensive 40-year (1995–2035) assessment mapping (gain/loss) as well an approximation Askot Wildlife Sanctuary (AWLS), Western Himalaya, using satellite data. This investigation presents novel hybrid approach by infusing machine learning algorithms spatial-temporal technique-based MLPnn-Markov chain model LULC simulation InVEST that incorporates valuation. results show among all classes, dense forest has highest density; however, it exhibits decreasing trend 1995 (5,695,878.41 Mg/ha) 2035 (4,378,439.81 Mg/ha). was performed applying sensitivity analysis combined different prices discount rates 2020 2035. observed outcomes reveal due decline, indicated negative net value (NPV) ranging minimum ~US$ -8 million maximum -53 million. develops valuable database providing evidence-based decision-making guidance sustainable preservation ecosystems Himalayas similar regions worldwide, where is paramount importance. findings suggest sound provisions conservation forested landscapes development efficient voluntary regulatory trading markets achieve stability stocks.
