Globally, ecosystems are in decline and a capacity to track this decline and the progress of ecosystem restoration at this scale is critical. The IUCN Red List for Ecosystems (RLE) is the accepted standard for global ecosystem risk assessments and potentially could be used to track progress of ecosystem restoration. Ecosystem restoration progress to date has been assessed by a diversity of techniques that do not provide a coherent link to risk identified in RLE assessments. This study assesses the potential of the RLE as a benchmark for tracking recovery for an ecosystem. This is demonstrated using a case study ecosystem with complex and challenging restoration requirements. Box Gum Woodlands (BGW) in eastern Australia are critically endangered but occur across a large geographic area, often as small remnants on private land. RLE assessments were used to assess the extent of restoration required and if key altered ecological processes relating to soil properties, fragmentation and climate change must also be mitigated. This assessment clarified the scale of work required, the importance of private land conservation and a range of other factors (soil status; fragmentation pattern; climate change) critical to successful restoration. It is concluded that the RLE can provide a powerful benchmark for restoration goals, but an important aspect of its use is a capacity to manage uncertainty.

将恢复与 IUCN 生态系统红色名录联系起来:关于我们如何追踪地球生态系统的案例研究

在全球范围内,生态系统正在衰退,追踪这种衰退的能力以及这种规模的生态系统恢复进展至关重要。IUCN 生态系统红色名录 (RLE) 是公认的全球生态系统风险评估标准,可用于跟踪生态系统恢复的进展。迄今为止,已通过多种技术评估了生态系统恢复进展,这些技术并未提供与 RLE 评估中确定的风险的连贯联系。本研究评估了 RLE 作为跟踪生态系统恢复基准的潜力。使用具有复杂且具有挑战性的恢复要求的案例研究生态系统来证明这一点。澳大利亚东部的 Box Gum Woodlands (BGW) 处于极度濒危状态,但分布在广阔的地理区域,通常是私人土地上的小残留物。RLE 评估用于评估所需的恢复程度,以及是否还必须减轻与土壤特性、破碎化和气候变化相关的关键生态变化过程。该评估阐明了所需的工作规模、私人土地保护的重要性以及对成功恢复至关重要的一系列其他因素(土壤状况;破碎模式;气候变化)。得出的结论是,RLE 可以为恢复目标提供强大的基准,但其使用的一个重要方面是管理不确定性的能力。私人土地保护的重要性以及对成功恢复至关重要的一系列其他因素(土壤状况;破碎模式;气候变化)。得出的结论是,RLE 可以为恢复目标提供强大的基准,但其使用的一个重要方面是管理不确定性的能力。私人土地保护的重要性以及对成功恢复至关重要的一系列其他因素(土壤状况;破碎模式;气候变化)。得出的结论是,RLE 可以为恢复目标提供强大的基准,但其使用的一个重要方面是管理不确定性的能力。
