Abstracts.

This document contains abstracts from various scientific journals and publications related to ecological restoration. The abstracts cover a range of topics, including climate change, coastal and marine communities, economics and ecosystem services, grasslands, invasive and pest species, monitoring and adaptive management, and other communities. Each abstract provides a brief summary of the research conducted and its findings. The document aims to provide library patrons with a concise overview of recent research in the field of ecological restoration, allowing them to explore specific topics further if desired. One specific abstract by Redmond et al. focuses on the management of pinyon-juniper ecosystems in western North America, which have experienced die-offs due to drought and invasive grasses. The authors propose a framework for managing these ecosystems to promote ecological resilience, taking into account historical woodland structure, current vegetation composition, future climate scenarios, and habitat value. The effective management of these woodlands is crucial for their restoration and maintenance in the face of climate change. [Extracted from the article]
