鉴于人类在全球范围内土地利用和土地覆盖变化的程度，保护工作越来越注重恢复退化的生态系统，以提供生态系统服务和生物多样性。然而，热带地区和其他地方的许多例子表明，一些生态系统在没有人类干预的情况下迅速恢复，这就引出了一个问题：在什么情况下以及在多大程度上人类应该积极努力促进生态系统恢复。我们建议所有土地管理者在选择恢复方法之前考虑一系列生态和人文因素。土地管理者应首先考虑基于自然生态系统恢复力、过去土地利用历史和周围景观矩阵的被动恢复（自然更新）方法可能产生的结果。他们还应该确定项目的具体目标并评估可用资源。在选择恢复方法之前进行这些分析应该能够更有效地利用项目内部和项目之间的恢复资源，并最大限度地提高恢复工作的成功率。 (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Given the extent of land use and land cover change by humans on a global scale, conservation efforts have increasingly focused on restoring degraded ecosystems to provide ecosystem services and biodiversity. Many examples in the tropics and elsewhere, however, show that some ecosystems recover rapidly without human intervention which begs the question of in which cases and to what extent humans should actively work to facilitate ecosystem recovery. We recommend that all land managers consider a suite of ecological and human factors before selecting a restoration approach. Land managers should first consider what the likely outcome of a passive restoration (natural regeneration) approach would be based on the natural ecosystem resilience, past land-use history, and the surrounding landscape matrix. They should also identify the specific goals of the project and assess the resources available. Conducting these analyses prior to selecting restoration approaches should result in a more efficient use of restoration resources both within and among projects and should maximize the success of restoration efforts.
