The problem is that huge fires like those that burned 1.8 million acres in the Great Basin last summer quickly swallow up all the available native seeds and resources for restoration, and still much of the land remains vulnerable.
Accurately delineating the effects of hydrological and water quality habitat factors on the aquatic biota will significantly assist the management of water resources and restoration of river ecosystems.
By identifying the drivers of post-fire regeneration success, our study will help forest managers allocating resources where restoration of productive forest are truly needed.
Tree recycling, it was found, failed to yield meaningful results for the coast -- according to satellite imagery and other measures -- and was not the best use of resources for restoration, he said.
The seed zones developed will provide guidance for the choice of genetic resources for restoration, and compared to using a limited number of cultivars, promote in situ genetic variation across the landscape.
This article presents a novel resource efficient connectivity restoration algorithm (RECRA) that opts to repair severed connectivity while imposing minimal overhead on the nodes.
For example, California Water Action Plan (2014) established strategies and a roadmap for water resource reliability, ecosystem restoration and resilience related to these climate change challenges.
Constructed wetlands (CWs), a form of natural or ecological engineering, are used for wastewater clarification as well as water resource conservation and restoration around the world.
This article presents a novel resource efficient connectivity restoration algorithm (RECRA) for repairing a topology after the failure of a critical node that caused partitioning the network topology into disjoint segments.
The identification of ecological thresholds above which major changes in community composition take place, may prevent the critical downfall of biodiversity while improving the effectiveness of conservation, resource management and restoration practices.
