Explore our published papers and project deliverables to learn about how rewilding science is developing in Europe.
Image: Where could climate-smart rewilding be located in Europe? Little is known about suitable locations for climate-smart rewilding in Europe.
Image: Balancing conservation and human access to nature: the impact of a constructed causeway on water levels and sedimentation, North Bull Island, Ireland Coastal populations are rising at three times the global average. This population increase is marked in urban areas, including Dublin Bay, Ireland.
Image: Defining marine rewilding can helpguide theory and practice in marine conservation Public concern over global climate change and biodiversity loss has accelerated efforts to restore natural ecosystems through nature-based solutions.
Image: Camera traps unable to determine whether plasticine models of caterpillars reliably measure bird predation In this study, we focus on avian predation of lepidopteran larvae models, which is one of the most extensively studied predator-prey interactions acr
Image: Quantifying the impacts of rewilding on ecosystem resilience to disturbances: A global meta-analysis We conducted a meta-analysis to explore whether rewilding interventions aimed at increasing biodiversity increase ecosystem resilience.
Image: Editorial: Coastal rewilding as a nature-based solution Drawing from terrestrial ecology, the concept of rewilding to degraded coastal and marine ecosystems has potential.
Image: Assessing ecosystem services in protected areas: trade-offs and hotspots in Friuli Venezia Giulia region (northeastern Italy) Protected areas are expected to provide multiple ecosystem services, but quantitative assessments on their effectiveness in maintaining ES are lacking
Image: Sharing or sparing? An analysis of the forest owners’ opportunity costs in cultural ecosystem services accounting for the Via Transilvanica outdoor recreational trail Outdoor recreation is one of the most relevant cultural ecosystem services provided by the Romanian forests.
Image: An assessment of future rewilding potential in the United Kingdom We explored the potential area available for rewilding in Great Britain until the year 2080 with a multisectoral land-use model.
Image: Recent tree diversity increase in NE Iberian forests following intense management release: A task for animal-dispersed and drought-tolerant species Climate change, together with the release of past intensive human land use, may influence the ability of forests to recover after disturbances.
Image: Can natural forest expansion contribute to Europe's restoration policy agenda? An interdisciplinary assessment This paper assesses the challenges and opportunities of natural forest expansion in view of contributing to European forest and ecosystem restoration
Image: Disentangling the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic seed dispersal factors in forest restoration success: a global review We reviewed 157 articles to identify the most relevant intrinsic and extrinic factors which mediate the seed dispersal process.
