land-restoration
Land restoration is the process of returning degraded or damaged ecosystems to a functional state, encompassing approaches such as rewilding, renaturalization, and remediation of polluted soils. For plant science, it is a critical field because plants are both the primary drivers and indicators of ecosystem recovery, with vegetation re-establishment determining the trajectory of soil health, biodiversity, and ecological stability. Research in this area informs which species, planting strategies, and interventions most effectively rebuild plant communities and the broader ecosystems they support.
