We knew academics and managers had the potential to share research and perspectives to set the stage for the UN Decade on Restoration. And the greater than 170 papers that were published in that special feature truly did deliver in helping to set the stage and accomplish the lofty goals for the Decade on Restoration.</p><p>The studies published spanned all continents save Antarctica, and included diverse topics such as how to ensure restoration is inclusive and equitable, emerging cutting edge technologies, how to ensure restoration is enshrined in international law, and how to prioritize restoration efforts to maximize gains. While we cannot cover each paper, below are some highlights of themes that emerged from this Special Feature.</p><p>Many studies identified core challenges of restoration, and many more highlighted how to overcome specific challenges and highlighted lessons learned. Cortina-Segarra et al. (<span>2021</span>) used expert opinion surveys to identify the barriers to restoration in Europe while Meli et al. (<span>2023</span>) used a literature review to identify information gaps on barriers, pathways and types of restoration pursued globally that should be filled to truly fulfil the promise of the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Barragán et al. (<span>2023</span>) pointed out the imperative that trees planted to meet international reforestation goals be resilient to the climates they are likely to face given global change and Mansourian et al. (<span>2021</span>) and Stanturf (<span>2021</span>) highlighted the lessons learned from the Forest Landscape Restoration initiative that are applicable to the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.</p><p>In a world of rising autocracy, growing wealth inequality and attacks on the rights of the most marginalized communities, we were heartened to see the growing groundswell of support for making restoration more inclusive. From providing recommendations for making restoration more friendly to the LGBTQ+ community (Toone et al., <span>2023</span>) rules to centre people and social dimensions in restoration (Elias et al., <span>2022</span>), #GenerationRestoration came out in force for this special issue to underscore today's restoration is not the restoration of yesteryear. The importance of increasing gender inclusion (de Siqueira et al., <span>2021</span>), ensuring stakeholder engagement is inclusive (Gutierrez et al., <span>2023</span>), incorporating traditional knowledge (Sena et al., <span>2022</span>) and incorporating equity into restoration (Wells et al., <span>2021</span>) were emphasized by authors as ways to maximize restoration inclusivity and gains.

However, owing to their long commercial lifespan, oil palm plantations can support relatively high levels of vegetation complexity compared to annual crops. There is therefore potential for the implementation of management strategies to increase vegetation complexity and associated within‐plantation habitat heterogeneity, enhancing species richness and associated ecosystem functioning within productive oil palm landscapes. This study focusses on two species of asassin bugs Cosmolestes picticeps and Sycanus dichotomus, which are important agents of pest control within oil palm systems. Using a Before‐After Control‐Impact experimental manipulation in Sumatra, Indonesia, we tested the effect of three alternative herbicide spraying regimes and associated vegetation complexity treatments on assassin bug numbers. Our treatments encompass a range of current understory vegetation management practices used in oil palm plantations and include removing vegetation only in areas key to harvesting (“Normal”), removing all understory vegetation (“Reduced”), and allowing native vegetation to regrow naturally (“Enhanced”). We assessed both the long‐term (18 months) and short‐term (within 2 weeks) effects of our treatments following herbicide spraying. Pre‐treatment, we found high numbers of assassin bugs of both species in all plots. Long‐term post‐treatment, the abundance of both C. picticeps and S. dichotomus declined in reduced understory plots, although this decline was only significant for C. picticeps (98%). In contrast, there were no significant differences in the post‐treatment abundance of either species in the short‐term. These results suggest that the long‐term decline in assassin bug abundance was likely to be caused by loss of vegetation, rather than any immediate effects of the herbicide spraying. Our findings have clear management implications as they demonstrate that maintaining vegetation in oil palm understories can benefit an important pest control agent.","PeriodicalId":100388,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Solutions and Evidence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2688-8319.12293","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134806441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
