Dryland ecosystems represent a significant portion of global land area, support billions of people, and suffer high rates of land degradation. Successfully restoring native vegetation to degraded drylands is a global priority and major challenge—highlighting the need for more efficient and successful restoration strategies. We introduce the concept of “precision restoration,” which targets critical biotic and abiotic barriers to restoration success and applies specific tools or methods based on barrier distribution in space and time. With an example from the sagebrush steppe biome, a North American cold desert, we present a framework for precision restoration in drylands that involves: (1) identifying site‐specific critical barriers to restoration success, (2) understanding the spatial and temporal variability of each barrier, and (3) applying the best available restoration strategies given the specific barrier and its variability, described in the first two steps. This framework aims to enhance restoration success by focusing restoration practices on ameliorating the influential barriers when and where they occur and away from applying singular landscape‐wide approaches.

通过精确的恢复框架提高恢复成功率

旱地生态系统占全球土地面积的很大一部分,为数十亿人口提供支持,并且土地退化率很高。成功地将原生植被恢复到退化的旱地是全球的首要任务和重大挑战,这凸显了对更有效,更成功的恢复策略的需求。我们介绍了“精确修复”的概念,它以成功的关键生物和非生物屏障为目标,并根据屏障在空间和时间上的分布应用特定的工具或方法。以北美寒冷沙漠鼠尾草草原生物群落为例,我们提出了干旱地区精确恢复的框架,其中包括:(1)识别恢复成功所处的特定地点关键性障碍,(2)了解干旱的时空变异性每个障碍,(3)根据前两个步骤中所述的特定障碍及其可变性,应用最佳的可用恢复策略。该框架旨在通过将恢复实践的重点放在减轻有影响的障碍物的发生时间和地点,而不是使用单一的景观方法来增强恢复成功。
