landscape restoration  

Definition

  • In the past two decades, landscape restoration has increasingly become a field of research and applied science addressing the multifaceted nature of environmental problems, and it has developed an integrated theoretical framework. Whereas maintenance denotes some regular and relatively slight work directed at conserving a humanized environment, restoration consists of a set of actions designed to improve a degraded or simplified environment.
