Abstract:
Ecological restoration is a growing field in many parts of the world. Although it started as a field of practitioners in the Midwest of the USA, restoration is currently growing rapidly as an academic discipline. In this paper the development of ecological restoration is discussed by relating it to the propagated Mode 2 for the dynamics of science and research in contemporary societies, that is, the shift from traditional discipline- based research (Mode 1) to a problem-solving and transdisciplinary form of science (Mode 2). It is argued that ecological restoration as understood here at times includes the elements that have been claimed to indicate a Mode 2 form of science, but the historical extrapolation of the development of restoration discloses a social shifting of boundaries back-and-forth on an ongoing recursive loop between the two forms of science. This suggests a recursive interdependence between the two Modes, including phases of ‘re-traditionalization’ back to Mode 1, rather than a general replacement of discipline-based research.

Abstract:
Aiming at the destruction of the ecological environment of the comprehensive geological structure, the traditional restoration countermeasures have the problems of high input cost and low economic benefits. For this reason, the ecological environment destruction process and restoration countermeasures of the comprehensive geological structure were proposed. The common geological structure characteristics and the impact of activities on the ecological environment in the mining area were analyzed. Based on the analysis results, an evaluation system for the degree of damage to the ecological environment by mining activities was constructed. According to the expert scoring method, a rating standard was developed to measure the degree of damage to the ecological environment. Depending on the degree of damage, appropriate recovery measures were formulated. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional restoration countermeasures, considering the destruction of the ecological environment during the mining process of comprehensive geological structures, the proposed restoration countermeasures have the advantages of low cost and high economic benefits.

Abstract:
The Three-River Headwaters Region (TRHR) is an important part of the ecological security barrier of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China. Twenty years after the implementation of the TRHR ecological protection and construction project, the restoration degree and restoration potential of its major ecosystem services still lack clear quantification. In this paper, taking the core area of the nature reserve as the climax background of the TRHR zonal ecosystem, based on the multiple regression analysis (MLR) and model parameter control method based on the eco-geographical area, ecosystem types, and climate factors; the climax background, restoration degree, and restoration potential of TRHR’s water retention (WR), soil retention (SR), and windbreak and sand fixation (WD) services were quantitatively researched. The main conclusions were as follows: (1) The evaluation method of climax background, restoration degree, and restoration potential based on fractional vegetation cover (FVC) can accurately quantify the regional differences of the restoration degree and restoration potential of TRHR’s key ecosystem-regulating services. The restoration degree and restoration potential of WR and SR services showed a spatial pattern of high in the southeast and low in the northwest, and the restoration degree and restoration potential of WD services showed a spatial pattern of high in the west and low in the east, which was closely related to natural conditions such as precipitation and wind speed. (2) The proportion of restoration potential to climax background for WR, SR, and WD services were 48.38%, 62.15%, and 56.37%, respectively. (3) The implementation of the TRHR ecological project in the future should focus on the vicinity of the 400 mm dry and wet zone dividing line, as well as in the southeastern mountains, hills, and river valleys, to carry out degraded vegetation restoration and soil and water conservation measures to improve ecosystem services. Near-natural restoration measures should be considered in Zhiduo and Geermu in the western part of the TRHR, where wind erosion is high, and the restoration goals of ecological projects should be formulated in combination with local climatic conditions and restoration potential.

Abstract:
Vegetation and soil restoration are the key to ecological reconstruction in the damaged areas of open-pit coal mining areas. Ecological stability is an important indicator of the degree of ecological restoration. In this study, the ecological stability and the process of plant and soil restoration were investigated at different refuse dumps in three coal mines, namely, the Wulanhada (WLHD) coal mine, the Liulingou (LLG) coal mine, and the Jinzhengtai (JZT) coal mine, in Jungar Banner. Results show that organic matter, total N, available N, and available K increased with the increase in restoration age at the two coal mines of WLHD and LLG. In the JZT coal mine, organic matter, total N, and available K firstly increased, and then slightly decreased with the increase in restoration age. The redundancy analysis indicates that most reclaimed mine soil properties (including soil moisture content, organic matter, total N, and available K) are positively correlated with plant species diversity in the three coal mines, while soil pH and soil bulk density showed a negative correlation with plant species diversity. Plant parameters increased with the years since revegetation, except the Pielou index for the WLHD coal mine, and the Pielou and Margalef indexes for the JZT coal mine. The Euclidean distance between the restoration areas and the natural reference areas decreased with the increase in restoration age. Our findings suggest that, in the three coal mines, the change law of ecological stability conformed to the logistic succession model. The same degree of ecological stability in different refuse dumps may correspond to different degrees of vegetation and soil development. This study emphasizes that ecological restoration in mining areas could benefit the structure of the plant community and the recovery of soil properties, which would eventually improve the ecological stability of coal mining areas.

Abstract:
Previous research on ecological restoration mainly includes three fields: water ecology, soil ecology, and atmospheric ecology, and the most abundant is in the field of soil ecology, among which the most abundant is in dryland ecological restoration. Research on dryland ecological restoration is very important in ensuring national food security, ecological security, and preventing a return to poverty. However, the previous research results do not clearly present the interconnection between the huge number of existing dryland ecological restoration studies and do not provide a three-dimensional understanding of the whole picture of dryland ecological restoration research from a broader perspective. Research on dryland ecological restoration has received wide attention from scholars at home and abroad, revealing the international research trends in the current field, which will provide a reference for the theory and practice of future dryland ecological restoration research. Using the SCI-E and SSCI databases of the “Web of Science Core Collection” as sample data sources and using CiteSpace optical measurement software, the 2254 literature in the field of international dryland ecological restoration research were systematically analyzed to track the situation and impact of research in this field by countries around the world, scientific research institutions and significant authors, and to analyze the interdisciplinary and research hotspots in this field, which is of great significance for the follow-up research of dryland ecological restoration. The research results show that: (1) The number of publications in international dryland ecological restoration has increased significantly with years and has strong development potential. (2) Journals representing the research frontier have an intense concentration with various journals. (3) The study of dryland ecological restoration belongs to a highly interdisciplinary discipline, while the two disciplines of ecology and environmental science are the pivot nodes of multidisciplinary disciplines. (4) China’s posts and total citations are among the best, but the average citation is low. (5) Dryland ecological restoration and protection is a hot research field at present, and special attention is paid to the dynamic changes and key driving factors of dryland ecological restoration and the full use of machine learning and extensive data mining to solve complex social-ecological problems. The study recommends that related disciplines must strengthen cooperation in the field of dryland ecological restoration, especially the two disciplines of ecology and environmental science, in order to promote the progress of dryland ecological restoration research theory and practice. China should continue to strengthen the investment of scientific research forces to improve the international influence of research in the field of dryland ecological restoration.

Abstract:
Over the past decade a shift can be noticed from ecological restoration to ecological design, where ecological design stands for a technocratic approach that courts hubris and mastery rather than humility and self-restraint. Following Eric Higgs, this shift can be seen as a “hyperactive and heedless response“ to global environmental change, especially climate change. The new technocratic approach may be best characterized as enlightened (or prudential) anthropocentrism, where nature is only allowed that degree of agency which is required to deliver the services that are essential for human well-being. It is not only questionable if we have the scientific and technical abilities to purposeful design ecosystems that will serve our needs, but also if the new approach will be sufficient to protect biodiversity in the long run.

Abstract:
Based on the vegetation ecological quality index retrieved by satellite remote sensing in the karst areas of Guangxi in 2000–2019, the status of the ecological restoration of the vegetation and the influencing factors of the ecological restoration potential of the vegetation were analyzed. Then, habitats with a similar ecological restoration potential were categorized and the maximum ecological restoration potential of the vegetation was estimated. Finally, realization and prediction models of the ecological restoration potential of the vegetation were constructed to evaluate the realization degree and provide predictions. The quality of the ecological restoration was good in the study region, and the vegetation ecological quality index showed a fluctuating increasing trend. In the study region, 96.25%, 92.92%, 97.14%, and 99.07% of the total area was shown to have good ecological quality of the vegetation in 2000–2004, 2005–2009, 2010–2014, and 2015–2019, respectively. Terrain, soil, vegetation types, and climatic conditions had significant impacts on the ecological restoration of the vegetation. With the increase in the soil sand content, the changes in the vegetation ecological quality indexes were significant at altitudes of 200 m, 400 m, and 800 m and slopes of 15°, 25°, and 35°. The ecological restoration potential was the highest for forests, peaking at 87.5, followed by shrubs and grasses (87.4), and farmland (85.4). The partial and multiple correlations of the temperature, precipitation, and vegetation ecological quality index were significant, and the climate driving zones were divided into the strong driving zone of temperature and precipitation, temperature-dominated driving zone, precipitation-dominated driving zone, weak driving zone of temperature and precipitation, and non-climate driving zone. There was a high realization of the ecological restoration potential of the vegetation. The vegetation ecological quality in 97.95% of the area was restored, of which regions classified as maintaining growth, having slow growth, and having rapid growth accounted for 79.73%, 18.09%, and 0.13%, respectively, indicating that projects of rocky desertification control and ecological poverty alleviation were well implemented. In the future, the ecological restoration potential of the vegetation is predicted to be mainly low and medium. The areas with low potential are predicted to be mainly distributed in the north and southeast of Hechi, the northwest of Baise, and the west of Chongzuo, where the vegetation ecological quality and ecological restoration of the vegetation are predicted to be good, thus the restoration gap is predicted to be small. The areas with medium potential are predicted to be mainly distributed in the south of Hechi, the south of Baise, and the north of Chongzuo, where the vegetation ecological quality was restored well but further restoration could be beneficial. This research can provide technical support for future evaluations of the ecological restoration of vegetation, as well as construction, in the karst areas in the future.

Abstract:
Most studies in the field of ecological restoration have only focused on repairing damaged land and have made no attempt to account for the impact of high-intensity land use on future landscape patterns. The purpose of this study was to propose a framework for evaluating the expected effects of ecological restoration based on land-use change and the ecological security pattern. Therefore, we integrated the PLUS model with the ecological security pattern and used Hefei City as a case study to conduct research. The results showed that from 2020 to 2030, land-use changes would occur primarily in the main urban area of Hefei and along the eastern shore of the Chaohu Lake watershed. Under the ecological protection scenario, arable land would be converted to construction land and woodland. Additionally, there would be an increase in ecological sources and pinch points in the area, and the number and area of the barriers would show a certain degree of reduction. The ecosystem quality, ecological integrity, and landscape connectivity of Hefei would be improved. This study offers a novel perspective for evaluating the expected effects of regional ecological restoration and provides an important reference for the dynamic formulation of multilevel ecological restoration policies.

Abstract:
Abstract During the last two decades, the interrelationship between water and energy has become recognized. Likewise, the couplings to food and agriculture are getting increasingly obvious and alarming. In the last year, a record number of extreme weather events have been reported from most parts of the world. This is a visible demonstration how consequences of climate change must be understood and alleviated. The impacts of economics, lifestyle, and alarming inequalities are becoming increasingly recognisable. If the wealthy part of the world is not willing not make radical changes it does not matter what the less wealthy half of the global population will do to meet the climate and resource crisis. The purpose of the book is to demonstrate and describe how climate change, water, energy, food, and lifestyle are closely depending on each other. It is not sufficient to handle one discipline isolated from the others. This is the traditional “component view”. The book defines and describes a systems view. The communications and relationships between the “components” have to be described and recognized. Consequently, the development of one discipline must be approached from a systems perspective. At the same time, the success of the systems perspective depends on the degree of knowledge of the individual parts or disciplines. The catchphrase of systems thinking has been caught in the phrase, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts”. The idea is not new: the origin of this phrase is to be found already in Aristotle's Metaphysics more than 2300 years ago. The text may serve as an academic text (in engineering, economics, and environmental science) to introduce senior undergraduate and graduate students into systems thinking. Too often education encourages a “silo” thinking. Current global challenges can't be solved in isolation; they depend on each other. For example, water professionals should have a basic understanding of energy issues. Energy professionals ought to understand the dependency on water. Economic students should learn more how economy depends on natural resources like energy and water. Economics must include the environmental impact and ecological ceiling of economic activities.

As the second largest ethnic group in Malaysia, CIM is diverse in its dialectic subculture, education, generation, geography, and degree of assimilation to the mainstream culture. The chapter introduces the ecological characteristics of CIM and how they shape the unique psychological challenges. Though CIM are known for their multilingual ability, strong work ethics, emphasis on education, and family piety, the clashes between tradition and modern values, the marginalized position in the Malaysian political arena, the stereotype of overachiever in education, and the “brain drain” movement of young elite CIM, have all caused a strain in CIM families as well as individuals. Moreover, they face both external and internal barriers in getting quality mental health care. It is therefore imperative to promote a mental health discipline that is open to serve CIM, as well as being sensitive to its cultural and historical backdrop.

Abstract:
The regularities of our planet’s climate determine a large part of the form and function of Earth’s ecosystems. The frequently nonlinear operation of the atmosphere gives rise to a rich complexity of variability superimposed on the fundamental regularities. A traditional definition of climate is “the long-term state of the atmosphere encompassing the aggregate effect of weather phenomena—the extremes as well as the mean values” (Barry and Chorley 1987). Ecosystems share some of the same properties as the climate system. At one level their operation is fairly straightforward. Ecologists, to a certain extent, understand the flows of energy and matter through these systems. A good deal of ecosystem operation over time is characterized by some degree of homeostasis. On the other hand, nonlinear change and multiple variables have placed uncertainty and surprise at the forefront of much ecological research. In both the climate and the ecosystem the only certainty often appears to be change. The task of this book is to focus on some of this change at the interface between the climate and the ecosystem and by doing so gain insights into the operation of both systems. Millennial-scale (1000-year) climate variability has driven large changes of vegetation and fauna at almost all of the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites. Decadal climate variability at some sites has seen dramatic changes in fish catches and has altered tree species composition. During the first two decades of study, LTER sites have been affected by two super El Niño events and several more “normal” El Niños and La Niñas. Major droughts have affected species diversity and killed some trees. Severe storms and floods have damaged stream restoration structures. Coastal sites have measured a rise in sea level. Antarctic sites have documented the decrease of some penguin populations and a rise in other populations as a result of climatic warming over 50 or more years. Climate variability has constantly been on investigators’ minds. It is little wonder that ecologists clearly recognize climate as a driver of biotic systems. Parmesan and her coworkers describe how climate affects individual fitness, population dynamics, and the distribution and abundance of species, as well as ecosystem structure and function (Parmesan et al. 2000).

Abstract:
Climate change will challenge the human community in many ways for centuries to come. Human influence on the climate is now the primary driver of the shift to a less stable and more dynamic global environmental system—the Anthropocene. In this chapter we explore some profound implications of this new age. First, what we mean by “the environment” is now itself ever-changing, with human actions affecting the very makeup, functioning, and evolution of global and local ecosystems, pushing them in new directions that can be difficult to predict. Second, this new reality has consequences for the founding principles of environmental management, conservation, ecosystem restoration, and action on the environment in general. The use of the past as a baseline natural world to be restored or mimicked is no longer possible, and so the era of preservation as the basis of environmental management is over. Climate change is pushing ecological systems out of their Holocene comfort zone (the last 10,000 years of unusual climatic stability). Our conceptions of a “natural” world and how people relate to it will have to change as well. Scientific controversies, environmental politics, and ecological management begin to look very different as a result. While most environmental scientists warn of the profound difficulties of navigating the Anthropocene, some technological optimists envisage a brave new future where humanity progresses through continued advances in biotechnology, information technology, and nanotechnology (Silver, 1997; Kurzweil, 2005). In this light, climate change and the transition to the Anthropocene are just a bump in the path of human progress. This kind of thinking extends to geo-engineering the planet to both avoid the worst of climate change and even push human development in new directions. While some climate scientists are beginning to explore the possibilities and consequences of geo-engineering, others are concerned that such bold action will exacerbate environmental uncertainties. These tensions among scientists represent competing visions of the degree to which governance informed by science can really understand and constructively guide Earth processes. If humanity survives into the long run, there may be ways that the Anthropocene can be organized to provide for both ecosystem and human functioning.

Abstract:
Earthquakes have a great destructive effect on the geo-ecological environment of mountain towns, and the restoration of the geo-ecological environment after the disaster is of great significance to the sustainable development of mountain towns. This paper applies the improved ecological footprint method to build a geo-ecological restoration footprint evaluation model from the aspects of factors affecting the geological ecology. Moreover, Comprehensive evaluation of geo-ecology were selected to analyse the dynamic change process of geological ecology before and after the Lushan earthquake in 2010-2017. The results show that earthquake disasters have a long-term and dual impact on the geo-ecological environment of mountainous towns. Earthquake disasters can change the geo-ecological footprint by reducing the output of ecological products, changing the population composition, diet structure and even the fuel ratio, thereby affecting the geo-ecological restoration process for a long time. On the one hand, the effect of sustainable restoration of the ecology after the disaster in Lushan County has achieved initial results, the geo-ecological deficit has been reduced by more than 43%. But on the other hand, the comprehensive evaluation of ecological restoration in Lushan County is in an unsustainable state and the geo-ecological environment is facing tremendous pressure. Based on this, this article considers the degree of geoecological restoration in Lushan County, and proposes a countermeasure for future geological and ecological restoration in Lushan County.
