rehabilitation, meaning the restoration of desired species, structures or processes to an existing ecosystem; reconstruction, meaning restoration of native plants on land which is in another use; reclamation, meaning restoration of severely degraded land devoid of vegetation; most radically replacement, in which species maladapted for a given location and unable to migrate are replaced with introduced species as climates change rapidly,
the process of returning an ecosystem to a natural pre-disturbance structure and function; the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed; the process of intentionally altering a site to establish a defined, indigenous ecosystem. The goal of this process is to emulate the structure, function, diversity and dynamics of the specified ecosystem; human intervention … designed to accelerate the recovery of damaged habitats, or to bring ecosystems back to as close an approximation as possible of their pre-disturbance states,
