Terrestrial ecosystem restoration increases biodiversity and reduces its variability, but not to reference levels: A global meta‐analysis
Ecological restoration projects often have variable and unpredictable outcomes, and these
can limit the overall impact on biodiversity. Previous syntheses have investigated restoration …
