There is renewed interest in the use of native tree species in ecosystem restoration for their biodiversity benefits. Growing native tree species in production systems (e.g. plantation forests and subsistence agriculture) can also ensure landscape functionality and support for human livelihoods. ...

Genetic considerations in ecosystem restoration using native tree species. State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources – Thematic Study.
Forest trees are long-lived species with high genetic diversity that is crucial for their survival,
regeneration and adaptation. However, forest managers and conservationists are often not well informed
about the relevance of genetic aspects to population viability. Lack ...

Mediterranean Oaks Network: Report of the 2nd meeting, 2-4 May 2002, Gozo, Malta
Rehabilitation and restoration of forest ecosystems are in growing demand to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and desertification—major environmental problems of our time. Interest in restoration of ecosystems is increasingly translated into strong political commitment to large-scale tree...

We propose the development of a certification scheme for forest ecosystem restoration that aims for
the adoption of protocols and guidelines to ensure the sustained ecological and social value of restored
ecosystems. Despite an accumulation of experience on ecosystem restoration over the past d...
