Dryland soil restoration meta-analysis
About the project
Soil-based restoration techniques may be critical to improving restoration outcomes in degraded dryland systems where soil resources have been depleted. Currently, we are compiling a global database of published dryland soil restoration studies. The database will be used to evaluate methods and outcomes of soil-based restoration across dryland ecosystems via meta-analysis.
Major questions
Question 1
What are the most common soil-based restoration strategies across the globe?
Question 2
How does soil-based restoration affect soil health and plant recruitment?
Question 3
Which soil-based restoration strategies are most successful and where?
