“…This holistic perspective reflects the core concept of "integral protection, systematic restoration, and comprehensive management" (Suding et al, 2015). Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that government bodies, corporate investors, and the stakeholder are central participants in the ecological restoration process (Toma and Buisson, 2022). Their varying perspectives and requirements will directly impact the effectiveness of restoration planning and project implementation.…”

Ecological restoration holds great significance in addressing environmental degradation and rock desertification in karst areas. Zoning strategy is a fundamental task in understanding the interrelationship between human-environment to foster sustainable development. We explore “social-ecological” system and conduct a case study on the karst region in Guangdong Province, China. An evaluation framework consists of “development pressure”, “sensitivity status”, and “resilience potential” was established. The results show that: regions with high pressure of development are predominantly located in high-density urban areas. The generally distribution of the comprehensive status index exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. Regions with low sensitivity are found on the eastern and western sides of the study area. The comprehensive resilience values are largely influenced by per capita energy-saving and environmental protection expenditures. The restoration zones mainly concentrated in the contiguous regions of the northwestern and southern parts, covering more than half of the total area. The conservation zones are more numerous and primarily situated in the northern and eastern parts. By integrating socio-economic and ecological factors, this study proposes ecological restoration strategies for specific zones. It helps for improve development issues arising from complex interactions between human-environment, facilitating the implementation of restoration practices.

“…Ecological restoration is the key to the improvement of ecosystem services, and the improvement of ecosystem services is one of the goals of ecological restoration [29,30]. Ecological restoration involves the ecological conservation, cultivation, restoration, management, and reconstruction of national land space through protection, improvement, guidance, optimization, reshaping, etc.…”

The loess hilly region is a typical ecologically fragile and sensitive area. It is of great significance when measuring the balance between supply and demand of ecosystem services and clarify the relationship between supply and demand of ecosystem services for scientific ecological restoration zoning and realizing regional ecological security and social and economic sustainable development. We take Yuzhong County in the loess hilly region of Longzhong, China as an example; by constructing the matching and coordinating relationship between ecosystem service supply and demand and following the idea of “problem diagnosis—strategic orientation—key optimization”, this paper delimits the ecological restoration zones and proposes corresponding governance strategies. The results show that: (1) The supply and demand of ecosystem services were mainly at a low and medium level, with significant spatial heterogeneity. Overall, the spatial pattern of ecosystem services showed high supply and low demand in the southwest mountainous areas and showed low supply and high demand in the urban gully areas of Yuzhong. (2) There were four types of spatial matching of ecosystem service supply and demand: HH type, LH type, LL type, and HL type. The local spatial autocorrelation of supply and demand was dominated by high-low or low-high spatial misadjustment. The average degree of coordination between supply and demand of ecosystem services was 0.629, indicating that supply and demand were basically coordinated. (3) The ecological restoration zones in Yuzhong County can be divided into six categories: the ecological core protection area, ecological potential restoration area, key ecological restoration area, soil and water conservation restoration area, ecological agriculture development area, and ecological innovation promotion area. The results of this study can provide ideas for the refined management and targeted restoration practice of regional ecosystem services. It provides a strong guarantee for ecosystem management and decision-making in the loess hilly region.

“…Based on the restoration object, scientists distinguish mountain [24], river [25], soil [26], and plant ecological restoration [27], among other types. There is also the view that ecological restoration needs to be enhanced through social channels [28]. As problems such as ecosystem degradation are caused by unsustainable human activities, as in the case of land degradation caused by slope planting, people who are highly dependent on these activities are urged to make some changes [29].…”

With the deterioration of the global/regional ecological environment, ecological restoration plays an important role in sustainable development. However, due to the differences in research methods, objectives, and perspectives, the research results are highly diverse. This makes it necessary to sort the publications related to ecological restoration, clarify the research status, grasp the research hotspots, and predict the future research trends. Here, 23,755 articles from the core database of Web of Science were retrieved, and bibliometric analysis was carried out to understand the global ecological restoration research progress from 1990 to 2022 from a macro perspective, with the aim to determine the future development direction. The results are as follows. (1) From 1990 to 2022, the number of publications in the field of ecological restoration constantly increased, and the fluctuation of the average annual citations increased. The most important articles were published in high-ranking journals. (2) Ecological restoration covers a wide range of research areas, including biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change, land use, and ecological restoration theories and technologies. The four main hotspots in this field are heavy metal removal, soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen concentrations, grassland ecological restoration, and evaluation framework and modeling of ecological restoration’s effects. Currently, studies focus on river basin remediation, heavy metal removal, and forest restoration. (3) Future ecological restoration research should strengthen the multi-object aspect and multi-scale ecological restoration research, improve the ecological restoration effect evaluation system, and incorporate social and economic issues. This study identified current research hotspots and predicted potential future research directions, providing a scientific reference for future studies in the field of ecological restoration.
