Summary
Deforestation and forest degradation have not only resulted in the gradual loss of biodiversity, but also in the diminution of the ability of these forest ecosystems to provide essential ecological services. When ecosystem processes and functions are drastically perturbed, various consequences with significant socio-economic impact follow. Restoring or rehabilitating degraded landscapes through an ecosystem services approach, therefore, has received greater traction in the past years from different research fields and sectors of the society.
