“…[ 7 ] and Wei et al. [ 8 ] support our idea that ecological restoration might soon be one of the most promissory research lines. Ecotechnologies such as bioremediation and phytoremediation can restore degraded ecosystems and increase their resilience.…”

“…This kind of analysis has also been used to study specific topics related to ECT. For example, some authors analyze the literature on ecotechnological solutions related to algae [ 4 , 5 ], the research related to sustainable technology in the sustainability field [ 6 ], the scientific production on ecological restoration [ 7 , 8 ], and the state of research on the relationship between water management and constructed wetlands [ 9 ]. Except for Haddaway, McConville, and Piniewski [ 3 ], none of the previous articles analyzed ECT as a particular field of knowledge.…”

“…One important result has been the higher level of specialization in ECT research observed in low-income countries. In previous reports, the geographical analysis was limited to identifying the leadership of the USA and China as the most productive countries [ 3 , 8 , 9 ]. In this study, the use of relative bibliometric measures (e.g., National share or CNCI) and their combination with other size-independent indicators has been fundamental.…”

“…Forests contribute to global sustainable development [1,2], and questions on how to sustainably manage forests, restore degraded forest ecosystems, and increase forest area coverage globally are among the current major issues pursued by the international community [3][4][5]. Accurate evaluation of degraded forest ecosystems is the first step to solving these problems, and it is also the prerequisite and foundation for forest ecosystem restoration [6,7].…”

To study the effect of ecological function restoration in degraded natural forests in Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China, we set up 90 plots of degraded natural forests of different types and ages in the Xinqing Group Branch of Yichun Forestry Industry Group in Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China. Moreover, 43 evaluation indexes, including litter characteristics, species diversity, soil physical properties, soil chemical properties, and canopy structural parameters, were selected to determine the effect of ecological function restoration in the degraded natural forests in the study area. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to comprehensively evaluate the ecological function of the degraded forests. The results of the study showed that, based on the forest type scores, mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests, mixed coniferous forests, and broadleaf forests had higher scores, while the scores of pure Betula platyphylla forests, pure Larix gmelinii forests, and the three low-quality forests were lower. This showed that the ecological restoration effect for mixed forests in the Xinqing Group Branch of Yichun Sengyong Group of Xinjiangqing Group, Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China, was better than that for pure forests and low-quality forests. Based on forest age, the scores of near-mature forests and mature forests were generally higher than those of young forests and over-mature forests, indicating that the ecological restoration effect for near-mature forests and mature forests in Xinqing Group Branch of Yichun Forestry Industry Group in Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China, was better than that for young forests and over-mature forests. These evaluation results can provide a theoretical basis for subsequent research on the ecological restoration effect in degraded natural forests in Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China.

“…Ecological risk represents the risk to the population, ecosystems, and even parts of the landscape that constitute an area [6,7]. Landscape pattern is the result of different natural phenomena and human social activities acting at different scales.…”

Owing to limited land resources and unique ecosystems, islands face more serious ecological risks under the interference of climate change and human activities. In this study, selecting Zhoushan Island as the study area, a landscape ecological risk index model was constructed based on LULC (land use/land cover) data and the landscape ecological risks for Zhoushan Island from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the proportion of forest land and grassland remained above 70%, built-up land expanded from 52.67 km2 to 123.52 km2, and the beach area and ocean on the north side of the island decreased by 23.24 km2 and 24.87 km2, respectively; this was mainly converted into built-up land. (2) The number of landscape patches in Zhoushan Island decreased as the landscape ecological risk index decreased. The landscape ecological risk showed distinct spatial autocorrelation, with lowest-risk and medium-risk areas collectively accounting for 80% and higher-risk and highest-risk areas showing a decline. (3) The landscape ecological risks exhibited distinct spatiotemporal differences. Before 2010, the higher-risk and highest-risk areas were mainly distributed in the mudflat and ocean areas on the northern coast. After 2010, the higher-risk and highest-risk areas are mainly distributed in the central region, which comprises woodland, grassland, and built-up land.
