Many forested landscapes around the world are severely altered during mining for their rich mineral and energy reserves. Herein we provide an overview of challenges inherent in efforts to restore mined functioning forest ecosystems present a synthesis recent progress using examples from North America, Europe Australia. We end with recommendations further elaboration Forestry Reclamation Approach emphasizing: (1) Landform reconstruction modelled on natural systems creation topographic...
Significance Tree diversity is fundamental for forest ecosystem stability and services. However, because of limited available data, estimates tree at large geographic domains still rely heavily on published lists species descriptions that are geographically uneven in coverage. These limitations have precluded efforts to generate a global perspective. Here, based ground-sourced database, we estimate the number biome, continental, scales. We estimated richness (≈73,300) ≈14% higher than...
Drought stress is the main cause of mortality holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) seedlings in forest plantations. We therefore assessed if drought hardening, applied nursery at end growing season, enhanced tolerance and transplanting performance seedlings. Seedlings were subjected to three hardening intensities (low, moderate severe) for 2.5 3.5 months, compared with control At period, water relations, gas exchange morphological attributes determined, survival growth under mesic xeric conditions...
Conventions and policies for biodiversity conservation climate change mitigation state the need increased protection, restoration adaptation of forests. Much degraded land may be targeted large-scale forest restoration, yet challenges include costs, a shortage regeneration material restored forests to serve as resource communities. To ensure ecosystem function future, programs must: (1) learn from past; (2) integrate ecological knowledge; (3) advance techniques systems; (4) overcome biotic...
Abstract Although natural regeneration is often the best method for establishing new oak (Quercus spp.) stands, there are increasingly more situations in which high potential failure dictates use of artificial including direct seeding and planting seedlings. Additionally, afforestation programs frequently incorporate species. Artificial stands challenging numerous reasons. In this article we synthesize current state knowledge regarding growing major species eastern United States, point out...
Functional attributes determine the survival and growth of planted seedlings in reforestation projects. Nitrogen (N) water are important resources cultivation forest species, which have a strong effect on plant functional traits. We analyzed influence N nutrition drought acclimation Pinus pinea L. seedlings. Specifically, we addressed if high fertilization reduces frost tolerance whether hardening reverses stress tolerance. Seedlings were grown under two regimes (6 100 mg per plant)...
