Trees and Restoration
We have embarked on the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, 2021-2030. Global agreements on biodiversity conservation, climate change, combat to desertification, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development have ecosystem restoration as a common key instrument to mitigate, adapt, halt or even revert the ongoing local and global socioecological challenges. And forest restoration relies on Trees... This is an open call by Trees Structure and Function for original articles, short communications and review papers that address structure, function and ecology of trees and other woody plants in sites undergoing ecosystem restoration. Please follow our general submission guidelines and submit online.
