“…Therefore, data obtained from these plots are beneficial for comparing the erosion rates [ 19 , 43 ] calculated from the RUSLE model. Three replicate plots of dimension 6 × 3 m 2 were constructed in each land-use setting in both watersheds [ 44 ]. Manual funnel-type rain gauges were placed on each plot to measure rainfall.…”

“…A considerable amount of forest hydrology research has been carried out at the scale of hillside plots (as opposed to catchments). Such studies are very useful in exploring hydrological processes (such as infiltration, overland flow, sediment transport and subsurface water flow) and local-level interactions among climate, soil, vegetation, topography and management practices [ 110 ]. However, plot-level parameters measured in situ cannot be expected to produce accurate predictions at all scales [ 111 ], and there are uncertainties when extrapolating findings from plot to catchment scales, or from small to large catchments [ 112 ].…”

There has never been a more pressing and opportune time for science and practice to collaborate towards restoration of the world's forests. Multiple uncertainties remain for achieving successful, long-term forest landscape restoration (FLR). In this article, we use expert knowledge and literature review to identify knowledge gaps that need closing to advance restoration practice, as an introduction to a landmark theme issue on FLR and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Aligned with an Adaptive Management Cycle for FLR, we identify 15 essential science advances required to facilitate FLR success for nature and people. They highlight that the greatest science challenges lie in the conceptualization, planning and assessment stages of restoration, which require an evidence base for why, where and how to restore, at realistic scales. FLR and underlying sciences are complex, requiring spatially explicit approaches across disciplines and sectors, considering multiple objectives, drivers and trade-offs critical for decision-making and financing. The developing tropics are a priority region, where scientists must work with stakeholders across the Adaptive Management Cycle. Clearly communicated scientific evidence for action at the outset of restoration planning will enable donors, decision makers and implementers to develop informed objectives, realistic targets and processes for accountability. This article paves the way for 19 further articles in this theme issue, with author contributions from across the world. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Understanding forest landscape restoration: reinforcing scientific foundations for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration’.
