TL;DR: It is suggested that these novel systems will require significant revision of conservation and restoration norms and practices away from the traditional place-based focus on existing or historical assemblages.

TL;DR: In this article, the implications of climate change for the broader practice of ecological restoration must be considered, and the usefulness of historical ecosystem conditions as targets and references must be set against the likelihood that restoring these historic ecosystems is unlikely to be easy, or even possible, in the changed biophysical conditions of the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, a landscape management framework that incorporates all systems, across the spectrum of degrees of alteration, provides a fuller set of options for how and when to intervene, uses limited resources more effectively, and increases the chances of achieving management goals.

TL;DR: The New York Declaration on Forests underscored restoration of degraded ecosystems as an auspicious solution to climate change and parties committed to restore a staggering 350 million hectares by 2030.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that good restoration requires an ex- panded view that includes historical, social, cultural, political, aesthetic, and moral aspects, which is a necessary but not a sufficient condition of good restoration.
