#EcosystemIntegrity
What does ecosystem #integrity mean in a rapidly changing #Anthropocene biosphere? I argue for a shift from static reference states toward 1) the ecological processes that sustain biodiversity & 2) evolutionary heritage➡️ doi.org/10.1111/rec....

🌍 At #WBF2026, “ecosystem integrity” is frequently mentioned.
Important: we need to redefine it for an Anthropocene biosphere; not as resemblance to static states but wrt biodiversity-maintaining processes & persistence of long-resident lineages: Integrity should anchor biodiverse futures 🌿➡️

Ecosystem integrity is a central concept in #conservation & #restoration. I argue for shifting from pattern-focused views to ecological processes & evolutionary lineages. Happy to see it accepted in @restorationecology.bsky.social🌿It'll become available at DOI: 10.1111/rec.70390 #ecosystemintegrity

Much talk about ecosystem integrity at #ECCB2026 - imo #ecosystemintegrity should be redefined to not focus on fixed reference states BUT rather on general functionality for species diversity + large-scale persistence of long-resident lineages🌿🐎

Nice feature by @jdtonkin.bsky.social on my proposal to rethink #ecosystemintegrity from a focus on match to static references to functionality for biodiversity and regional persistence of long-resident lineages - to allow to work more constructively with our Anthropocene biosphere 🌿♨️🌍 #restoration
What does a “restored” ecosystem mean?
If the climate is different...
If species have moved...
If habitats have changed...
…what are we restoring to?
If we keep measuring success against a world that no longer exists, we’re chasing ghosts.
Featuring @jcsvenning.bsky.social
Is restoration chasing ghosts?
Restoration is often trying to recreate ecosystems that no longer exist — or can’t

Traits such as spines & water storage vessels allow #cacti to thrive in #aridecosystems. These traits are also useful indicators of #ecosystemintegrity. Paredes Cubas & colleagues from @universidadjaen explore 12 standardised measures of functional traits in #Cactaceae 🌵🔗https://buff.ly/Rc1J5K4

🌍 mapping study refines reforestation potential. Only ~195 Mha remain viable; 71–92% less than prior estimates. Variability in protection levels and objectives means no one-size-fits-all. Up to 2.2 billion tons of CO₂ could be removed each year.

Addressing critiques refines global estimates of reforestation potential for climate change mitigation - Nature Communications
Reforestation is a key climate change mitigation strategy, but global maps of its potential are widely criticized. This study shows that addressing those critiques substantially refines estimates of t...
