Abstract/Summary:
In this article, we first review how restoration ecology is being applied in different types of ecosystems. For each ecosystem, we consider how global change is expected to affect species and communities and how restoration ecology might address problems that emerge. We focus on climate change, rather than other aspects of global change, because changes in climate are expected to affect virtually all ecosystems, and because prevention measures that might reduce impacts of changing climate have not been widely adopted.
