Initiating my mastodon posts by sharing my new publication with Anand Osuri in Restoration Ecology 
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/rec.13828
Scientific research has tended to broadly compartmentalise restoration efforts into "passive" or "active" strategies, which can be misleading and often undermines its usefulness for on-ground practitioners
Scientists now recommend viewing restoration interventions as a continuum along a gradient of cost or effort. To aid this shift, we recommend that research compares between methods along the continuum, (instead of just passive vs. active), to understand how restoration success is related to effort
We also reiterate in the paper that research distinguishes between goals for restoration, and importantly, avoids conflating ecological with economic goals under "active" restoration
Finally, we propose a minimum reporting checklist that restoration research can follow to aid practitioners other scientists identify where restoration efforts lie along the intervention continuum
