DOI: 10.1007/s11056-019-09754-5
Abstract: With the demand for, and scale of, ecological restoration increasing globally, effectiveness monitoring remains a significant challenge. For forest restoration, structural complexity is a recognised indicator of ecosystem biodiversity and in turn a surrogate for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2018.11.001
Abstract: Abstract China began implementing the world’s most ambitious afforestation and forest conservation projects in 2000s. However, whether the forest restoration efforts facilitate forest recovery, and whether the changes in land-use/land-cover (LULC) driven by afforestation projects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118459
Abstract: Abstract Forest restoration thinning in Chinese pine (Pinus tabuliformis) plantations can alter stand structure and soil abiotic properties, which have the potential to change biotic properties such as wood-inhabiting fungal community structure. Therefore, three thinning… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118827
Abstract: Abstract The continued degradation of forests due to natural and anthropogenic disturbance has led to loss of ecosystem function, biodiversity change and in extreme cases, the extinction of endemic species. Within degraded landscapes, forests are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119253
Abstract: Abstract Restoring forests has recently received considerable attention in the context of sequestering carbon and supporting biodiversity. Although considering alien species as a tool for natural forest restoration still remains controversial, harnessing alien species when… read more here.
