Restoration Success: How Is It Being Measured? (2005, background): “SEPTEMBER 2005 Restoration Ecology 573 correlation between vegetation structure (e.g., height, foliage layers, and basal area) and the recovery of birds (Tilghman 1987; George & Zack 2001).”
Habitat Restoration—Do We Know What We’re Doing? (2007, background): “Standing dead trees, for example, may serve as suitable nesting and feeding sites for snag-dependent species over several years, providing the trees are of an appropriate size and decay status, and occur at the proper density (George & Zack 2001).”
Vegetation structure, species diversity, and ecosystem processes as measures of restoration success (2005, background): “These pioneer species (e.g., Cecropia shreberiana, Roystonea borinquena, and Thespesia grandiflora, planted; Delonix regiaand Senna siammea, colonizers) quickly accumulate biomass (Guariguata and Ostertag, 2002), and provide a diverse vertical structure and canopy cover necessary for arboreal faunal”
Stretch Goals and Backcasting: Approaches for Overcoming Barriers to Large‐Scale Ecological Restoration (2006, background): “The Long-Term and Open-Ended Nature of Large-Scale Restoration Ecosystems are complex and ever changing (George & Zack 2001; Hobbs & Harris 2001; Soulé et al. 2003); therefore, there is often no definable static end point for restoration.”
