The longleaf pine ecosystem : ecology, silviculture, and restoration (2006, background): “The following steps have been recommended to ensure a functional monitoring plan ( Block et al. 2001 ): (a) Set monitoring goals, (b) identify the resources to monitor, (c) establish threshold points, (d) develop a sampling design, (e) collect and analyze data, and (f) evaluate results (Fig. 1).”
Factors Affecting the Use of Reforested Sites by Reptiles in Cleared Rainforest Landscapes in Tropical and Subtropical Australia (2006, background): “Developing appropriate monitoring strategies for reptiles requires considerable thought and experimentation under an adaptive management framework (Mitchener 1997; Block et al. 2001; Towns & Ferreira 2001; Holl & Cairns 2002).”
Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “, 2008), resources such as wildlife (Block et al., 2001; McCoy and Mushinsky, 2002), and social expectations (Hallett et al.”

Regeneration of sandy old-fields in the forest steppe region of Hungary (2011, background): “Another approach frequently used in evaluating restoration projects and sometimes in spontaneous regeneration studies is the comparison of secondary vegetation with a potential or target vegetation community to assess the degree of similarity (Aronson et al. 1995; White and Walker 1997; Block et al.”
The Role of the Wetland Reserve Program in Conservation Efforts in the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (2006, background): “Restoring vegetative cover usually will provide favorable conditions for native biota, but this assumption rarely is tested (Block et al. 2001).”
A comparison of statistical approaches to analyzing community convergence between natural and constructed oyster reefs (2006, background): “, 1986), questions about the cost, value, and success of efforts remain widespread (Moy and Levin, 1991; Zedler, 1993; Weinstein et al., 1997; Craft et al., 1999; Block et al., 2001; Peterson and Lipcius, 2003; Luckenbach et al., 2005).”
Habitat Restoration—Do We Know What We’re Doing? (2007, background): “To be truly effective, such a program must focus on the most direct measure of the status of the target species population dynamics (Block et al. 2001).”
