Barak Taking the Long View: Integrating Recorded, Archeological, Paleoecological, and Evolutionary Data into Ecological Restoration 2016.0 13 .pdf application/pdf 11482 1042 43 Historical information spanning different temporal scales (from tens to millions of years) can influence restoration practice by providing ecological context for better understanding of contemporary ecosystems. Ecological history provides clues about the assembly, structure, and dynamic nature of ecosystems, and this information can improve forecasting of how restored systems will respond to changes in climate, disturbance regimes, Paleoecology pushes these baselines back hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years, offering insights into how past species assemblages have responded to changing disturbance regimes and climate. Some disturbances impacting modern ecosystems have analogs in the historical ecological record that provide useful direction to contemporary restoration (Swetnam et al. Contemporary reference sites provide information on environmental conditions, community composition, and ecosystem functions at sites similar to those being restored that have Finally, as restoration ecologists increasingly plan for novel climatic conditions and human influences, they can look to the past to understand factors that impart resilience to communities and ecosystems. ./cache/work_zn464vn3mrhilepxszn2pqldiu.pdf ./txt/work_zn464vn3mrhilepxszn2pqldiu.txt
