Forging a New Alliance Between Succession and Restoration
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Succession and restoration are intrinsically linked because succession comprises species and substrate change over time and restoration is the purposeful manipulation of that change. 2. During succession both orderly and unpredictable patterns emerge but some general rules offer theoretical and practical insights for restoration activities. These insights are not often utilized due to inadequate communication and a misconception that because restoration is focused on shorter temporal scales and is more goal-oriented, then concepts from succession may not apply. 3. Restoration potentially offers succession practical insights into how communities assemble, but a dearth of scientific protocols in the conduct of restoration has hindered this linkage.

Precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such as improved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time of the gear. An important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the process successfully and design the forging tools. In this research, a new kinematically admiss...
متن کاملAn historical perspective on forest succession and its relevance to ecosystem restoration and conservation practice in North America
Eugene Odum’s 1969 paper, The Strategy of Ecosystem Development, marks a watershed moment in approaches to the study of succession, ecosystem change caused by discrete disturbances. He argued that succession is unique from other kinds of change with regard to mechanisms (modification of the physical environment by the community), trajectory (orderly, directional and predictable), and endpoint (...
متن کاملLessons from primary succession for restoration of severely damaged habitats
Questions: How can studies of primary plant succession increase the effectiveness of restoration activities? Can restoration methods be improved to contribute to our understanding of succession? Results: Successional studies benefit restoration in six areas: site amelioration, development of community structure, nutrient dynamics, species life history traits, species interactions, and modeling ...
متن کاملEcosystem service delivery in restoration projects: the effect of ecological succession on the benefits of tidal marsh restoration
Long-term assessment of ecosystem restoration projects is complex because of ecological processes such as succession, particularly in highly dynamic ecosystems such as estuaries. Restoration of intertidal flats and marshes on formerly embanked land, often called managed coastal realignment (MR), became popular in estuarine management. In our study, biophysical and monetary data were collected t...
متن کاملResolution Process of Therapeutic Alliance Ruptures: A Review of the Literature
Adolescents living in youth centers often comply with therapeutic treatment against their will. We think that this forced environment ruptures the therapeutic alliance between adolescents and their therapists and, as such, influences the therapeutic results. It has been reported, however, that therapies evoking rupture of the alliance with its later restoration are more effective than therapies...
