          Abstract

          Resumen: La ecología de la restauración es una disciplina científica que a partir de la teoría ecológica desarrolla principios para guiar la práctica de la restauración de los ecosistemas. El objetivo de esta revisión es exponer una síntesis de la situación actual y las perspectivas de la ecología de la restauración en México, así como los retos de la investigación ante el escenario ambiental de nuestro país. Se realizó una revisión de diversos indicadores, como publicaciones, congresos, instituciones, investigadores y oferta de formación de recursos humanos. La revisión arrojó un total de 206 artículos (1995-2016), de los cuales el 78% correspondió a artículos de investigación, el 18% a artículos de opinión y propuestas metodológicas y el 4% fueron metaanálisis. En el 82% de las publicaciones, el primer autor tuvo su adscripción en una institución mexicana, y de ellos el 57% correspondió a hombres y el 43% a mujeres. Los estudios sobre ecosistemas forestales representaron el 71%, abordando principalmente la recuperación de especies de árboles y arbustos. La evaluación mostró que algunos indicadores tuvieron incrementos pero otros se mantuvieron constantes. También se hizo evidente que la oferta académica no ha sido suficiente, y se discute la necesidad de una política científica nacional de restauración así como fuentes de financiamiento a largo plazo.

          Abstract: Restoration ecology is a scientific discipline which develops principles to guide the restoration of ecosystems based in ecological theory. The objective of this review is to synthetize the current situation and the perspective of the restoration ecology in Mexico and the challenge of this area of research given the environmental conditions in our country. A review of different indicators as scientific publications, meetings, institutions, researchers and the offer of academic programs was carried out. This review resulted in a total of 206 articles from which 78% were research articles (1995-2016), 18% opinions or methodological proposals and 4% were meta-analyses. In 82% of the publications, the first authors were working at a Mexican institution and from them, 57% were men and 43% women. The studies on forest ecosystems represented 71% and the principal topic was the recovery of woody species. The evaluation showed that some indicators increased whereas other stayed constant. The results showed that the academic offer was not enough; the need of a national scientific policy of restoration and long-term sources of funding is discussed.

          Restoration of ecosystem services and biodiversity: conflicts and opportunities.

          Ecological restoration is becoming regarded as a major strategy for increasing the provision of ecosystem services as well as reversing biodiversity losses. Here, we show that restoration projects can be effective in enhancing both, but that conflicts can arise, especially if single services are targeted in isolation. Furthermore, recovery of biodiversity and services can be slow and incomplete. Despite this uncertainty, new methods of ecosystem service valuation are suggesting that the economic benefits of restoration can outweigh costs. Payment for Ecosystem Service schemes could therefore provide incentives for restoration, but require development to ensure biodiversity and multiple services are enhanced and the needs of different stakeholders are met. Such approaches must be implemented widely if new global restoration targets are to be achieved. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
