Ecosystem recovery refers to the process by which natural ecosystems regain their ecological functions and structures after being disturbed or degraded by human activities, such as deforestation, pollution, or climate change. This process can occur naturally over time, but it can also be facilitated and accelerated through various restoration and conservation efforts. Ecosystem recovery often involves restoring key species, habitats, and ecological processes to help rebuild the resilience and biodiversity of the ecosystem. This can include reintroducing native plants and animals, controlling invasive species, restoring natural water flow patterns, and improving soil health. Research in ecosystem recovery focuses on understanding the mechanisms and drivers of ecosystem degradation, as well as the effectiveness of different restoration strategies and techniques. By studying how ecosystems recover from disturbances, researchers can better inform conservation and management efforts to protect and restore the health and functioning of natural environments.
