  1. Ecological restoration of riparian forest corridors at the landscape scale can facilitate recruitment of certain flora and fauna, thus possibly helping to maintain viable wildlife populations.
  2. We evaluated ecological restoration of three corridors between two protected Andean forests. Soil ants and eight environmental variables focused on edaphic conditions were monitored for 8 years following restoration activity. Soil ants were collected in pitfall traps and by leaf litter extraction on 21 plots classified into five types of habitat: large forest patches, riparian forests, two types of restoration corridors on former timber and pasture land (R‐Forestry and R‐Pasture, respectively), and Pasture.
  3. A total of 132 ant species belonging to 40 genera were found. Among these, 112 species were found in Forests, 105 in Riparian, 80 in R‐Forestry, 79 in R‐Pasture and 63 in Pasture. Composition analyses (canonical correspondence analysis and NMDS) showed that the ant community in restoration corridors and pastures is far from resembling that of the forests. Yet, there is biological progress with respect to the Pasture.
  4. Gnamptogenys bisulca and Pheidole pygmaea were indicator species for advanced restoration progress because of their close association to forests, while Linepithema piliferum indicated a reversal of restoration progress due to its preference for open habitats.
  5. Since both ant richness and composition in restored areas do not yet resemble the reference forest ecosystem, we suggest that other interventions such as restoring wider corridors and changing to wild‐friendly agriculture around the reserves might improve restoration efforts in Andean landscapes.

河岸森林走廊的修复:八年监测安第斯乡村景观中土壤蚂蚁的多样性

  1. 在景观尺度上对河岸森林走廊进行生态恢复可以促进某些动植物的募集,从而有可能帮助维持野生动植物种群。
  2. 我们评估了两个受保护的安第斯森林之间的三个走廊的生态修复。恢复活动后的8年中,监测了土壤蚂蚁和8个环境条件变量,重点关注土壤条件。在坑洼陷阱中收集土壤蚂蚁,并在21个样地上通过落叶提取,将其分为五类栖息地:大型森林斑块,河岸森林,原木和牧场上的两种恢复走廊(分别为R-Forestry和R-Pasture) )和牧场。
  3. 总共发现了132个蚂蚁物种,属于40属。其中,在森林中发现了112种,在河岸发现了105种,在R-林业中发现了80种,在R-Pasture发现了79种,在牧场发现了63种。成分分析(规范对应分析和NMDS)表明,恢复走廊和牧场中的蚂蚁群落与森林的相似。然而,牧场方面有生物学上的进步。
  4. Gnamptogenys bisulca大头蚁矮了先进的恢复进度指示物种,因为他们密切相关的森林,而Linepithema piliferum表示的恢复进度逆转,它更喜欢开放的栖息地。
  5. 由于恢复区的蚂蚁丰富度和组成都还不像参考森林生态系统,我们建议采取其他干预措施,例如恢复更宽的走廊和在保护区周围改用野生友好型农业,可能会改善安第斯景观的恢复工作。
