Abstract

Assessing Ecological Restoration In the wake of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the analysis of ecosystem services, and their relationship to biodiversity, has become one of the most rapidly developing research themes in environmental science. At the same time, ecological restoration is widely being implemented as a response to environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Rey Benayas et al. (p. 1121 , published online 30 July) link these themes in a meta-analysis of the impacts of ecological restoration actions on provision of ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. The analysis of 89 published restoration projects worldwide establishes that ecological restoration does, in general, have positive impacts on both biodiversity and provision of ecosystem services. These effects are especially marked in the tropics. Thus, ecological restoration actions may indeed deliver benefits, both in terms of biodiversity conservation and supporting human livelihoods.
