UN report finds ecosystems never before under such threat and restoration is urgentHow climate’s impact on land threatens civilisation – and how to fix itThe climate crisis is damaging the ability of the land to sustain humanity, with cascading risks becoming increasingly severe as global temperatures rise, according to a landmark UN report compiled by some of the world’s top scientists.Glob...
Ruil (Nothofagus alessandrii) is an endangered keystone species from the Mediterranean climate zone of Chile. Ruil’s fragile state of conservation urges development of restoration programs, but specific protocols for nursery production and field establishment that ensure plant survival are largely unknown. Therefore, we examined the effect on nitrogen (N) fertilization and container size during ...

Many studies around the globe have identified plant production facilities as major sources of plant pathogens that may be released in the wild, with significant consequences for the health and integrity of natural ecosystems. Recently, a large number of soilborne and waterborne species belonging to the plant pathogenic genus Phytophthora have been identified for the first time in California native...
<p>Although resilience thinking is increasingly popular and attractive among restoration practitioners, it carries an abstract quality that hinders effective application.

Published by IUCN in June 2019, the progress report concludes “implementation of FLR is clearly happening at scale,” and highlights some additional co-benefits in the countries surveyed, including the creation of an estimated 354,000 jobs, an average investment per hectare of at least USD 235, and the sequestration of 1.379 billion tonnes of CO2. The five countries assessed in depth – Brazil...
