The Western Himalaya faces significant ecological challenges, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable development, prompting extensive restoration efforts. These scattered practices, ranging from large‐scale afforestation to more nuanced strategies, remain under‐assessed. Therefore, we undertook a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses guidelines, identifying dominant research themes various trends in practices detect knowledge gaps propose future priorities. We analyzed 100 peer‐reviewed gray literature articles January 1990 February 2024. Most interventions were reported Uttarakhand (53.7%, n = 183), followed by Himachal Pradesh (27.9%), Ladakh (10.3%), Jammu Kashmir (8.2%). Afforestation was the practice (34.3%, 117), concentrated Ladakh, while forest (17.6%, 60) ( 56). Research centered on “Restoration Techniques” (37.5%) “Stakeholder Engagement” (22.7%), “Policy & Governance” “Climate Change Mitigation Adaptation” under‐represented. Restoration goals primarily targeted “Ecosystem Functioning Services” (32%) “Biodiversity Enhancement” (22%) but largely ignored “Disaster Resilience” “Water Management.” Nearly half of species planted non‐native (47.6%), with median four per site, monitoring inconsistently reported, raising concerns about long‐term outcomes. Natural regeneration notably understudied, tokenistic tree‐planting drives rampant, particularly Trans‐Himalayas. suggest that ecology its application Himalayan ecosystems should be prioritized, together collaboration practitioners adoption consistent address landscape's unique challenges.

Abstract Mangrove forest restoration can improve services and functions across associated coastal ecosystems. However, the effectiveness of mangrove efforts is highly dependent on knowing locations habitat requirements target species within landscape interest. Habitat suitability models are powerful tools that identify suitable environmental conditions reduce risk poor site selection. When coupled with information potential future climate conditions, land‐use conflicts, co‐benefits (e.g., biodiversity), these be used to prioritize areas meet multiple stakeholder objectives help implement a broader ecosystem‐based approach restoration. In this study, we machine learning assess present forests Arabian Gulf. We then incorporated marine data from Qatar for in country where mangroves constitute only type forest. All tested (artificial neural networks, boosted regression trees, random forest, Maxent, Maxnet) showed high predictive performance, but percentage contributions each predictor differed models. Important predictors included elevation, slope, distance coastline, temperature, precipitation. While most predicted reduction region, there were sites located currently protected areas. identified several impact (i.e., suitability, far urban areas, closest live coral areas) northwest side Qatar.

Traditional urban expansion struggles to balance economic and ecological demands. Intensive development planning based on re-naturalization has become the policymakers’ choice. However, planning-oriented land use patterns pathways remain difficult determine. This study developed a spatial decision-support framework integrating ecosystem service valuation (ESV), land-use simulation, for Shanghai. assessed spatiotemporal dynamics of ESV simulated 2035 under different scenarios (inertial development, cropland protection, development). The optimal scenario corresponding were determined principle ESV. results showed that declined over past 20 years (−5.21%/5 years). High-value areas shrank significantly due space degradation. is scenario, with highest CNY 189,240.29 million, which higher than status quo, inertia protection by 9.69%, 23.27%, 9.53%, respectively.

Abstract Globally, river management is a multi-billion-dollar industry. The United Nations (UN) Decade of Ecosystem Restoration calls for accelerated action towards integrated, participatory, and adaptive water resources management. Here we test whether the required shifts are occurring in Australian stream industry, an environmental industry developed western nation. We undertook structured review topic modelling 958 peer-reviewed papers presented at national conference from 1996-2021. investigated trends collaboration, transdisciplinary knowledge, diversity input perspectives, management, interaction with policy, responses to natural events. found that has matured over past 25 years, increasing interdisciplinarity. However, there was no measurable increase on-ground community participation or use findings highlight opportunities mature further achieve UN 2030 goals integrated resource ecosystem restoration.

Forest restoration is a powerful tool that combats forest loss and mitigates climate change. Our review asks how change considerations are integrated into restoration. We asked: (1) How many articles about practices discuss change; (2) has this changed over time; (3) when mentioned, it considered? used the framework created by Simonson et al. in 2021, which describes seven unique areas where practitioners can consider impacts their projects. These include adjusting species location for projected changes to fitness, mitigating risks, aligning practice with policy. reviewed literature through Web of Science evaluated publications inclusion these considerations. found number projects increased significantly since early 2000s, exceeding 200 2021. The proportion including terms “climate change” or “global warming,” also (35% 2021). Climate concepts were only considered what we defined as an “in‐depth” context 83 186 (45%). However, majority (115 186, 61%) did incorporate at least one considerations, even if they not satisfy our definition in‐depth consideration.

ABSTRACT Climate change will have profound and unexpected impacts on biodiversity in the future. These could potentially be mitigated through adaptive responsive conservation planning, but it remains unclear how adaptation opportunities can harnessed careful planning of present‐day activities. Here, we show that use flexible strategies exploit for climate mitigate risks without increasing total costs. We estimate value allowing delays investments protecting habitats iconic threatened koala ( Phascolarctos cinereus ) eastern Australia. Conservation no option to strategically delay face significant trade‐offs between minimizing costs reducing outcomes. are substantially by into future when effects likely better understood.
