Species Traits as Practical Tools for Ecological Restoration of Marly Eroded Lands

Abstract: International audiencePlant functional traits are increasingly used in restoration ecology because they have the potential to guide restoration practices at a broad scale. This article presents a trait-based multi-criteria framework to evaluate and predict the performance of 17 plant seedlings to improve ecological restoration of marly eroded areas in the French Southern Alps. The suitability of these species to limit soil erosion was assessed by studying both their response to erosive forces and their effect … Show more

“…Four species were tested only in the first experiment -Quercus pubescens Willd., Pinus nigra Arnold, Robinia pseudo acacia L. and Salix caprea L. -and three species only in the second experiment -Dorycnium pentaphyllum Scop., Anthyllis vulneraria L. and Ononis natrix L. This set consists of ligneous and semi-ligneous species, mainly shrubs that commonly grow in eroded marly lands around the two experimental sites (except Alnus cordata). The choice of the species and the method of vegetation installation (young plants or seeds) depended on the plant material availabilities in the local tree nurseries and accorded with results of previous local studies (mentioned above, especially Burylo et al, 2014).…”

“…To meet the objective of revegetation, these species must also show performance for erosion control. Thanks to the synthesis work of Burylo et al (2014), we have information on the response and effect traits of these species related to erosion dynamics in the same ecological conditions. The combined analysis of the two information sources allows us to improve the choice of appropriate plant species.…”

“…However, most of these techniques are focused only on seedling protection, and do not involve a holistic view of the environment. Therefore, in the short and medium terms, these techniques are not effective in improving soil quality or reducing soil loss (Rey, 2009;Burylo et al, 2014). In addition, the use of these techniques significantly increases the cost of afforestation.…”
