To address these issues, various Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) initiatives have been introduced, including Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)—a set of low-cost interventions aimed at accelerating natural recovery and enhancing ecological functionality in degraded forest landscapes. However, implementation of ANR remains limited and largely unsustained in FLR projects, undermining its potential impact. Using case studies and a mixed-method qualitative survey approach, we examined ANR implementation across socio-ecological and policy dimensions in the Philippines by interviewing 22 key informants and conducting 5 focus group discussions with multiple stakeholder groups involved in ANR projects across three regions. Seven categories of key drivers influencing stakeholders to adopt ANR were identified, with socioeconomic incentives, particularly income and livelihood opportunities from project participation, being the strongest. These were followed by environmental motivations, including biodiversity conservation, watershed protection, climate change mitigation, and disaster risk reduction. Top-down institutional mandates and intrinsic values related to biodiversity conservation also play a crucial role. Despite its benefits, sustained ANR implementation faces numerous challenges, which we categorized into eight major themes. The most critical obstacles include short-term and insufficient funding, limited livelihood integration, and environmental threats like forest fires and local community pressures. Moreover, weak policy support, governance gaps, lack of sustainable protection and monitoring plans, and rugged terrain substantially hinder ANR's long-term viability. Restrictions on native tree use further constrain opportunities for integrating natural regeneration into FLR strategies. To enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of ANR in FLR initiatives, we recommend extending project timeframes, securing long-term funding, improving site protection and maintenance, integrating sustainable livelihood programs, strengthening policy support and alignment, and promoting evidence-based advocacy. Governments, restoration agencies, and NGOs must foster long-term financing mechanisms and ensure sustained local benefits to scale up ANR’s role in FLR efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36104,"journal":{"name":"Trees, Forests and People","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100896"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144194708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener index, importance value index, species association tests, Pearson correlation, and principal component analysis, whereas biomass estimates were derived using an allometric model. Results showed that 58.70 % of all cultivated species were native to Kalimantan. Species association analysis revealed positive interactions that facilitated coexistence and resource use efficiency.

This approach, exemplified in Sungai Merdeka Village, optimized financial benefits while supporting conservation.

To disentangle these complex effects, we applied species-level and phylogenetic approaches to a dataset of 14,500 tree individuals from 310 species across eight communities in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, including both undisturbed and selectively logged plots along an elevational gradient. Using rarefaction and ordination analyses, and node-based assessments of species distributions—with and without tree ferns—we investigated how selective logging influences community assembly across elevations and whether its effects vary among evolutionary lineages. Selective logging had a stronger impact on tree communities at lower elevations, suggesting that their species assembly and phylogenetic structure are more susceptible to the same anthropogenic disturbance in montane communities. Regarding clade-based perspective, Cyatheaceae and Magnoliids were over-represented in montane forests and Fabidae and Myrtaceae in submontane forests, yet disturbance markedly reduced Fabidae in submontane areas, decreased Magnoliids in both forest types, and led to a significant decline of Myrtaceae in disturbed montane forests. In general, we underscore that species clades varied in their responses to environmental and anthropogenic filters, highlighting the necessity for clade-specific analyses to enhance our understanding of community assembly processes and improve conservation strategies. By recognizing the differential responses of tree species clades, conservation efforts can be better tailored to address the unique challenges faced by different species and clades.

In this study, an extension to the Cooling Capacity Index (CCIT) to evaluate the cooling capacity of urban trees primarily in terms of their ability to provide shade is proposed. Bayesian Hierarchical Models were employed to comprehensively analyze disparities in access to multiple ecosystem services and exposure to biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted by urban trees by socioeconomic groups in three municipal districts of Málaga. The estimation relies on the municipal urban tree inventory, i-Tree Eco, and aerial LiDAR data. Spatial distribution patterns are intrinsically dependent on the presence of urban trees. However, certain areas with a high supply of specific ecosystem services exhibit lower availability of others, likely due to differences in tree traits. No inequities in exposure to biogenic volatile organic compounds were found between socioeconomic groups. However, inequities were identified based on income levels, the Gini index, ethnicity, and age groups, varying according to the ecosystem service assessed.
