Restoration of habitats can also risk restoring the organisms that damage their biodiversity
Good intentions in ecological restoration can sometimes result in the unintentional spread of plant diseases due to neglected risk assessments and biosecurity measures.

Grasslands Management Bolsters Pollinator Networks, Aiding Ecosystem Stability
Results-based agri-environmental payment schemes (RBAPSs) successfully boost plant diversity, nurture pollinator interactions, and fortify ecological stability in a new Irish study.
Rewilding the Argentine Puna is a Mixed Result for Biodiversity
Rewilding – the practice of reintroducing wild flora and fauna into their natural habitats – is a conservation strategy gaining traction worldwide. Carlos Navarro and colleagues have examined rewilding...
Ecologists spark hope of protecting western American forests from the worst of wildfires
Ecologists with a burning desire to protect forests have grim news for the western United States.
Ants can be the villains of conservation
Invasive ants can stop visitors from properly pollinating native plants, damaging their chances of reproduction.
Photochemical performance of bunchgrass reproductive structures
How does drought influence the photochemical performance of reproductive structures of native and exotic bunchgrasses of the Great Basin?

Trees alone will not save us
There's more recognition that ecological restoration can be an essential tool in fighting climate change, and there are many projects aimed at restoring degraded forests to capture carbon. Still, the focus on forests...
Variation in reproduction and genetic diversity across seagrass meadows in Western Australia
How do reproductive effort, genetic diversity and mating systems vary across the range of a seagrass population?
View from the sky sees new hope for restoring degraded forests
Degraded tropical forests are not lost causes. Restoration could help capture carbon and aid ecosystem recovery.
Orchid conservation must be guided by an understanding of their ecology
What makes orchids unique can also make saving them a challenge.

When speed is a problem in mangrove restoration
Rapid restoration isn't always the best restoration, when the restoring species is invasive.
Even a small change in topography can help tides drive an oxygen pump
For pioneer species in the marshes, it's a case of grow fast or die young. But the differences in growth speed can be caused by tiny changes in geography.
Simulating ephemeral seagrass growth
Ephemeral seagrasses provide important marine habitats, but are under threat due to human activity. Whitehead et al. develop a new functional-structural environmentally dependant model, in order to integrate existing...
