The economic and ecological aspects of river restoration were the prime focus of major studies, whereas social benefits have been least addressed. The results identified the research gaps and future opportunitie

“Forests around rivers are key places to target for restoration because they provide huge benefits with very little impediment to productive land,” said study lead author Kelley Langhans, a PhD student in biology at Stanford University affiliated with the Natural Capital Project. “A small inve...
Ecological restorationWetlands in urban and urbanizing areas are often smaller, more degraded, and subject to more stressors than those in undeveloped locations. Their restored level of functioning may never equal that of a site in an undisturbed landscape. Yet, the social benefits from restoring ...
Ecological water replenishment initiatives in areas such as the Yellow River Delta and Ulansuhai Nur have significantly contributed to the restoration of the Yellow River’s ecosystem. The bird species count in the Yellow River ...
Ecological water replenishment initiatives in areas such as the Yellow River Delta and Ulansuhai Nur have significantly contributed to the restoration of the Yellow River’s ecosystem. The bird species count in the Yellow River Delta has doubled from 187 in 1992 to 373 at present, rejuvenating ...
, three scenarios were developed to identify priority restoration areas. In Beijing, restoring 30% of the degraded area (1531 km2) in priority areas by 2050 could increase the annual ecological benefit by more than 5 billion yuan, or approximately 787 million USD, and could decrease the ...

Reintroduce ecological dynamics such as fire, grazing by livestock or wildlife, river restoration and dispersal and promote high-quality nature-human experiences (f) Improve physical access through design that targets access, use and safety by improving visual access and surveillance while circumventing...
However, the spatial existence of ecological and economic co-benefit has not been well assessed in landscape restoration research. Taking the landscape restoration on the large basin—the Yellow River Basin as an example, we aim to identify the ecological and economic co-benefit place that had ...
