In winter 2025, Professor Karen Holl published two articles with collaborator Pedro Brancalion (University of Sao Paulo) on scaling up forest restoration globally.
The article “Upscaling ecological restoration by integrating with agriculture” in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment highlights the steps necessary to use common small-scale ecological restoration approaches to restore large areas of land.
Along with three other researchers, Holl and Brancalion authored “Moving biodiversity from an afterthought to a key outcome of forest restoration” for Nature Reviews Biodiversity, which makes recommendations for planning, financing, and monitoring biodiversity-centered forest restoration.
