Lecciones de cuatro meta-análisis globales sobre la restauración de la biodiversidad y los servicios ecosistémicos

The document reports that ecological restoration significantly increases biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) compared to degraded states, although they often remain below reference levels. While agroecosystems and certain forest services show high recovery, wetlands and forest biodiversity lag behind reference benchmarks. A positive correlation exists between biodiversity and ES recovery, but quantitative data on cultural ES is lacking.

• Global ecological restoration increased biodiversity by 58% and ecosystem services (ES) by 99% compared to degraded states, though both remained below reference levels by 10% and 8% respectively.
• Recovery outcomes vary by ecosystem: restored wetlands showed higher biodiversity (19%) and ES (43%) than degraded ones but ES remained 13% below reference; agroecosystems saw increases in biodiversity (68%), support ES (42%), and regulation ES (120%) reaching levels similar to reference ecosystems; forests achieved complete recovery for all ES, but biodiversity, despite a 106% increase, remained 21% below reference levels.
• There is a lack of quantitative scientific literature regarding the evaluation of cultural ecosystem services in restored ecosystems, although a positive correlation was found between the recovery of biodiversity and ecosystem services across all analyzed meta-analyses.
