Abstract Ecological restoration has become an important technique for mitigating the human impacts on natural vegetation. Planting seedlings is most common approach to regain lost forest cover. However, these activities require a large economic investment. Direct seeding considered cheaper and easier alternative technique, in which tree seeds are introduced directly site rather than transplanting from nurseries. To evaluate effectiveness of direct seeding, we conducted comprehensive search...
Tropical dry forests represent nearly half the tropical in world and are ecosystems registering greatest deterioration from anthropogenic exploitation of land. This paper presents a review on dynamics regeneration main abiotic factors influencing this regeneration, such as seasonal nature, soil fertility humidity, natural anthropic disturbances. The purpose is to clearly understand an important part TDF succession dynamics.
Almost half of Mexican territory has been classified as environmentally degraded. The main response for the last 60 years reforestation to combat soil erosion and loss forest cover, mostly carried out on private lands where negotiations with local stakeholders were critical. Despite four legal instruments referring ecological restoration, no specific instrument that defines basic concepts, criteria standards, required actions, or regulations implement evaluate restoration exists. Ministry...
Movement patterns resembling Lévy walks, often attributed to the execution of an advantageous probabilistic searching strategy, are found in a wide variety organisms, from cells human hunter-gatherers. It has been suggested that such movement may be fundamental how humans interact and experience world they have arisen early our genus with evolution hunting gathering lifestyle. Here we show walks evident Me'Phaa Mexico, Brazilian Cariri farmers Amazonian when firewood, wild fruit nuts. Around...
Abstract Natural regeneration is key for large‐scale forest restoration, yet it may lead to different biodiversity outcomes depending on socio‐environmental context. We combined the results of a global meta‐analysis quantify how recovery in naturally regenerating forests deviates from values reference old‐growth forests, with structural equation modeling, identify direct and indirect associations between socioeconomic, biophysical ecological factors deviation at landscape scale. Low within...
Outcomes from restoration projects are often difficult for policymakers and stakeholders to assess, but this information is fundamental scaling up ecological actions. We evaluated technical aspects of the interventions, results (ecological socio-economic) monitoring practices in 75 Mexico using a digital survey composed 137 questions. found that terrestrial ecosystems generally relied on actions included minimal (97%) maximal (86%) intervention, while wetlands, preferred strategies were...
Los jales son rocas trituradas y molidas mezcladas con sustancias químicas, producto de la minería. En Huautla, Morelos, México, existen depósitos sin contención confinados (presas jales). Las superficies los quedan expuestas lo que vuelve susceptibles al desplazamiento por agua viento. Este estudio analizó el erosión hídrica deslizamiento cinco jales, mediante cuatro métodos: a) cálculo Ecuación Universal Pérdida Suelo (USLE, sus siglas en inglés) vulnerabilidad ladera método Mora-Vahrson;...
The ongoing deforestation process across the globe is reducing extent of suitable habitat for forest-specialist species. cross-habitat spillover hypothesis posits that in such a scenario, some species may be compelled to use supplementary resources from adjacent anthropogenic matrix. Consequently, compositional differentiation (beta diversity) between forest remnants and matrix should decrease (i.e. biotic homogenization) more deforested landscapes. We tested this prediction by assessing...
In most of the legally protected areas in Mexico local inhabitants use natural resources, such as fire wood or cattle grazing. These frequent but low-intensity disturbances have consequences at various levels tropical ecosystems and strongly impact forest structure its regeneration capacity. Despite their importance, effects these perturbations many aspects ecology forest's capacity to recover after disturbance exclusion remain poorly understood. Understanding processes on forests is...
El capital social es un constructo teórico que propone escenarios donde valores como la cooperación, comunicación y confianza entre las personas pueden crear ambiente ideal para solución de problemas socioambientales. Por su parte, restauración ecológica está ganando impulso, ya 2021-2030 será “La Década Restauración los Ecosistemas”. Sin embargo, varios autores consideran ecológica, además reparar ecosistema, debe tener objetivo generar acciones colectivas, aprendizajes sociales, nuevos...
La ecología de la restauración es una disciplina científica que a partir teoría ecológica desarrolla principios para guiar práctica los ecosistemas. El objetivo esta revisión exponer síntesis situación actual y las perspectivas larestauración en México, así como retos investigación ante el escenario ambiental nuestro país. Se realizó diversosindicadores, publicaciones, congresos, instituciones, investigadores oferta formación recursos humanos. arrojó un totalde 206 artículos (1995-2016),...
Caquetá Department, in the Colombian Amazon, has a historical context of deforestation, education poor quality, land tenure conflicts, and social violence. Thus, there is an urgent need to restore not only ecosystem, but also fabric society–nature relationship. This article describes process, impacts, obstacles, lessons learned from program ecological restoration‐based for local communities. During 2017, group 15 people were selected trained restoration become, as we called them, “local...
Looking ahead to the United Nations' 2021–2030 Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, we would like ponder and discuss two fundamental goals improve, mainstream, scale up ecological restoration. The first is cultivate alternative visions human dimension in relation restoration other restorative activities. second develop shared protocols for planning, revamping, monitoring progress social related within construction theoretical framework, based on three interrelated dimensions: stakeholder‐based...
Background: A deep discussion of the phases planning by all stakeholders will help to identify challenges faced countries that are embarking on large-scale restoration actions comply with international agreements.
 Question: Was phase projects done according guidance? We evaluated six eight aspects guidance for carried out in Mexico between 1979 and 2016.
 Methods: The information about was compiled using a digital survey composed 137 questions.
 Results: Seventy-five total...
Forest regeneration at large-scales is one of the main paths to achieving ongoing ambitious restoration commitments. Thus, identification drivers this process in agricultural landscapes critical understand determining success. A growing number studies have explored biophysical and, less often, socioeconomic forest using remote sensing approaches, but not directly considered influence farmers' decisions spatial prediction models regeneration. We and on a rural landscape Southeastern Brazil,...
It was evaluated the effect of two different sources local inocula from contrasting sites (mature forest, pasture) arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) and a non-mycorrhizal control on plant growth six woody species differing in functional characteristics (slow-, intermediate- fast-growth), when introduced seasonally tropical dry forest (STDF) converted into abandoned pasture. Six plots (12 X 12m) were set as AMF inoculum source. replicates arranged Latin Square design each plot. Plant height,...
