Quantifying soil restoration with a simple metric.

This one has been a looong time in the works! #Restoration isn't just about putting the primary vegetation in place; for long term #resilience and delivery of #ecosystemservices it's the whole complex web of life that needs to recover. We're using changes in the soil's biological community 🪱🦠🍄 to quantify progress towards #restoration goals, yielding simple top-line reporting metrics 📈 that can be disaggregated to inform #adaptivemanagement and restoration strategy on the ground🔧🚜🌳. So much work has gone into this by our ecologists (principally Bastian Egeter, James Whiting & George Muscatt, PhD) to incorporate ecological & statistical rigour at the same time as aligning with emerging principles and frameworks for corporate #biodiversity disclosures.

Water abstraction can have a profound impact on aquatic life, but innovation can help us make more informed decisions. APEM Group’s Hydro-Ecology Toolkit is a game changer, offering insights into how current and future water abstraction practices could affect ecosystems.    By predicting ecological impacts, we can balance human needs with environmental preservation.

Your first task during a site assessment should be to perform a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA). This appraisal offers a thorough examination of the site, providing valuable insights into its ecological status. It covers details about current habitats, the existence of protected species, and other significant ecological elements that could influence your projects.

The Ecosystem Restoration Design course starts on February 10th! If you're still not sure whether or not you should embark on this restoration journey, you can now try a preview of the course for free. 🔗 Visit the link and register to receive access: https://lnkd.in/e_MzJ6fk 🎁 There are more than 1 hour of classes available completely for free so you can meet the teachers and get a taste of what your learning journey will be like with the course. The Ecosystem Restoration Design course is a partnership between Ecosystem Restoration Communities and Gaia Education. Our main goal is to make environmental restoration knowledge and techniques accessible to anyone, creating a large global community of restorers. This way we can contribute to accelerating the recovery of degraded ecosystems around the world. . . . . #GaiaEducation #EcosystemRestorationCommunities #ERDCourse #EcosystemRestoration #RestorationEducation #RestoreThePlanet #EnvironmentalEducation #SustainableLiving #NatureRestoration #EcoFriendly #LearnAndRestore #GlobalRestoration #SpecialOffer #EcoCourse #ConservationEducation #GreenLiving #RegenerateEcosystems #EnvironmentalSolutions #RestorationCommunity #EcoDesign #Agroecology #agroforestry

A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA), should be your first step in evaluating a site. An Ecological appraisal will give you an overview of a site, which can help you understand the ecological conditions. This can include details of any habitats present, the presence of any protected species, or any other key ecological constraints which could affect your projects.

Youth talk. Topic: Environmental Forest Science, Sustainable Forest Technology. Shubhashis Bhattarai Mozakkir Azad Environmental Forest Science and Sustainable Forest Technology are pivotal in preserving our planet's green lungs. These fields focus on understanding ecosystems, tree biology, and sustainable management practices. By studying forest ecology and harnessing innovative technologies, they aim to mitigate deforestation, combat climate change, and promote biodiversity. Techniques like selective logging, reforestation, and precision forestry ensure resource replenishment while minimizing ecological impact. Integrating modern tools such as remote sensing and AI aids in monitoring and managing forests efficiently. Through these disciplines, we strive to strike a balance between human needs and the conservation of our invaluable forests for future generations. #ForestConservation #SustainableForestry #EcoFriendlyLogging #GreenForests #BiodiversityConservation #ForestRestoration #TimberTech #CarbonSequestration #ForestEcology #RenewableWood
