Forest Restoration Projects

edit

This subsection was created to demonstrate a current restoration project taking place. This is intended to be a case study and shed light on restoration efforts being taken on in the U.S.

Redefining [forest restoration]

edit

Restoration prescriptions and techniques will differ dependent on the ecosystem type, which could likely be made into its own subsection. Franklin and Johnson's "A restoration framework for federal forests of the Pacific Northwest" cites a U.S. Forest Service definition of restoration as "the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. Ecological restoration focuses on reestablishing the composition, structure, pattern, and ecological processes necessary to facilitate terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems sustainability, resilience, and health under current and future conditions." It is also stipulated that 1.) restoration should be focused on entire ecosystems rather than individual attributes (i.e. climax successional state as the given definition describes), 2.) restoration efforts should be centered on restoring resilience and functionality in the context of desired future conditions, and 3.) priority for restoration to should be given to the most degraded environments.

Not in encyclopedic format

edit

This article is written as an FAQ, not an encyclopedia article. Questions are not suitable as section titles, and content within sections should not be a response to a leading question posed by the title. Additionally, the photos present a series of steps that allegedly to show success of restoration where conservation organizations stated it was not possible, yet there are no links or citations to these claims by whom or how they were actually made. This needs to be fixed. 128.100.66.244 (talk) 01:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
