“…Instead, they focus on a limited number of subcomponents within an ecosystem. For instance, breaching a causeway in a coastal estuary to enhance habitat connectivity (Gerwing et al 2019), removing invasive species (Thomson et al 2021), or planting native plants (Kimball et al 2015).…”

“…If contamination of a site exists, it is unlikely that recovery can occur without remediation (Villa et al 2009). However, we posit that remediation is more a management technique, similar to mechanical removal of invasive plants (Thomson et al 2021). Depending on the presence of contamination, remediation may or may not be a part of any Reclamation, Rehabilitation, or Ecological Restoration project.…”

“…Finally, one of the central premises of Ecological Restoration is the benefit of native biota (Gann et al 2019). However, in many cases, invasive species are impossible to remove (Grosholz et al 2011;Shackelford et al 2013;Thomson et al 2021) and have been present for a long time. As such, it is an open question as to how Ecological Restoration should treat some invasive species, especially with regard to restoration targets (Ewel and Putz 2004).…”

As we enter the United Nations Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, the need to engage in restoration activities has never been greater. Included within this need is a requirement for clear communication between researchers, practitioners, policymakers, stakeholders, and community members. To facilitate the discussion and assessment of restorative activities, we propose two decision trees to differentiate between key restoration terms (Reclamation, Rehabilitation, Ecological Restoration, Rewilding, Landscape Restoration, Intra-Ecosystem Restoration, Reference Condition Restoration, and Ecological Reclamation) and to clarify how they relate to each other, based upon project scope and desired/intended project outcomes. Continued use of unclear terminology impedes practitioners or researchers from using the literature efficiently, to find precedents that could assist their current efforts. As such, increasing clarity of communications will ensure restoration is discussed within a framework of well-defined and agreed upon terms. It is our hope that this suggested framework will contribute to the ongoing and much needed terminology debate and help enhance cohesion on the use of key terms within the restoration focused literature. Given the increased focus upon restoration projects of any kind, especially during the UN's decade of ecosystem restoration, it is more important than ever that restoration practitioners speak the same language.
