Enhancement of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services by Ecological Restoration: A Meta-Analysis
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
