Project description

This research seeks to improve the understanding of drivers of successful forest restoration in the Ecuadorian Andes, along an altitudinal gradient from 1800 to 3000 m asl. Through its results, we will identify main abiotic and biotic drivers of ecological restoration success, and will be able to provide key information to decision-makers as they plan future restoration projects.
