Feuchter Winter, trockener Sommer – das sorgt in vielen Regionen für Umweltstress. Mit welchen Pflanzen sich Ökosysteme hier renaturieren lassen, haben Forschende wie im Strategiespiel getestet. Fazit: Ähnliche Ökosysteme reagieren verschieden. www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html...

How to repair damaged ecosystems around the world?

Researchers found that when restoring nature even ecosystems that look similar on the surface can respond very differently to the same fix: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...

🌱🌿 An international research team led by our faculty and the @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social found that ecosystems that initially look similar can respond very differently to the same restoration methods.

Trade-offs among restored ecosystem functions are context-dependent in Mediterranean-type regions vist.ly/3n45hnw #EcosystemFunctioning #EcosystemRestoration

In @ecography.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecog... we show, using the ModEST model, that one size doesn’t fit all when restoring Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Site-specific plant assemblages are key to maximizing ecosystem functions & trade-offs & synergies vary with soil & climate

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean-type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration a....

One-size-fits-all doesn't work in restoration! Trade-offs between carbon gain, water use & nitrogen use shift with abiotic context in Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Match plant traits to place! nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
