To determine global trends in ecological restoration (ER) research, we conducted a geographically-explicit English-language literature review. We assessed a representative sample (n=603) of publications that use the ER concept (n=8,678). Only 19.2% (n=118) were explicit ER studies, and these were evaluated to determine geographic location, research framework, ER paradigm, journal disciplinary orientation, article type, disturbance factor studied, and ER-response measurements. The Global North produced 2x more studies than the South, and ecological research frameworks predominated overall. However, significantly more Southern studies operated under a postmodern paradigm (i.e., addressing ecosystem processes, functions and health) than in the North, where more studies sought to reconstitute pre-disturbance biotic assemblages (i.e., classical paradigm). Both regions published mostly in natural science journals, but significantly more in the North; in the South, there were significantly more publications in engineering journals. An incipient socio-ecological research framework was detected in the North (23.1%) and South (32.5%), but social science studies were only found in the North (11.5%). Plus, the North had significantly more conceptual publications. Opportunities exist in both regions to enhance a holistic ER perspective. Southern scientists and practitioners could pay attention to context-specific concepts and approaches. Understanding global and regional ER research trends can contribute to improving theoretical, practical and ethical outcomes.

南方和北方全球生态恢复研究促进知识对话的回顾

为了确定生态修复(ER)研究的全球趋势,我们进行了地理明确的英语文献综述。我们评估了使用ER概念(n = 8,678)的出版物的代表性样本(n = 603)。只有19.2%(n = 118)是显式的ER研究,并对这些评估进行了评估以确定地理位置,研究框架,ER范式,期刊学科方向,文章类型,研究的干扰因子和ER反应测量。全球北部的研究量是南部的两倍多,而生态研究框架总体上占主导地位。但是,在后现代范式下(即解决生态系统过程,功能和健康问题)进行的南方研究要比北部地区多得多,在北部地区,更多的研究试图重建干扰前的生物组合(即 古典范式)。这两个地区主要在自然科学期刊上发表文章,但在北部地区则更多。在南方,工程期刊上的出版物明显增多。在北部(23.1%)和南部(32.5%)发现了初期的社会生态研究框架,但仅在北部(11.5%)发现了社会科学研究。另外,北方有更多的概念性出版物。在这两个地区都存在机会,以增强整体ER观点。南方的科学家和从业人员可以注意因地制宜的概念和方法。了解全球和区域ER研究趋势可有助于改善理论,实践和道德成果。工程期刊上的出版物明显更多。在北部(23.1%)和南部(32.5%)发现了初期的社会生态研究框架,但仅在北部(11.5%)发现了社会科学研究。另外,北方有更多的概念性出版物。在这两个地区都存在机会,以增强整体的ER视角。南方的科学家和从业人员可以注意因地制宜的概念和方法。了解全球和区域ER研究趋势可有助于改善理论,实践和道德成果。工程期刊上的出版物明显更多。在北部(23.1%)和南部(32.5%)发现了初期的社会生态研究框架,但仅在北部(11.5%)发现了社会科学研究。另外,北方有更多的概念性出版物。在这两个地区都存在机会,以增强整体的ER视角。南方的科学家和从业人员可以注意因地制宜的概念和方法。了解全球和区域ER研究趋势可有助于改善理论,实践和道德成果。北方有更多的概念出版物。在这两个地区都存在机会,以增强整体的ER视角。南方的科学家和从业人员可以注意因地制宜的概念和方法。了解全球和区域ER研究趋势可有助于改善理论,实践和道德成果。北方有更多的概念出版物。在这两个地区都存在机会,以增强整体的ER视角。南方的科学家和从业人员可以注意因地制宜的概念和方法。了解全球和区域ER研究趋势可有助于改善理论,实践和道德成果。
