92nd ESA ANNUAL MEETING - Held jointly with SER International
Ecology-based restoration in a changing world: How do we set goals for ecological restoration, and how can we assess its success? New scientific insights call for more sophisticated consideration of the goals and standards of restoration and, perhaps, of conservation of natural systems generally. What ecosystem attributes are to be restored, conserved, or preserved? How should these priorities be informed by ecological research? How can we assess the effectiveness of restoration? http://www.esa.org/sanjose
