生态恢复项目传统上侧重于植被作为手段（播种、种植和基质改良）和目的（基于初级生产力和植被多样性的成功）。这种以植被为中心的生态恢复方法源于历史上对美学和成本的重视，但提供了对整个生态系统功能的有限衡量，并且忽视了实现当前和未来恢复目标的替代方法。我们主张将规划转向植物群落之外的规划，转向启动自体恢复所需的物理和生物组成部分，然后通过及时引入顶级捕食者和环境改造（例如土壤改良剂以及动物筑巢和避难所的物理结构）来指导这一过程。
Ecological restoration projects have traditionally focused on vegetation as both a means (seeding, planting, and substrate amendments) and ends (success based upon primary productivity and vegetation diversity). This vegetation-centric approach to ecological restoration stems from an historic emphasis on esthetics and cost but provides a limited measure of total ecosystem functioning and overlooks alternative ways to achieve current and future restoration targets. We advocate a shift to planning beyond the plant community and toward the physical and biological components necessary to initiate autogenic recovery, then guiding this process through the timely introduction of top predators and environmental modifications such as soil amendments and physical structures for animal nesting and refugia.
