“…Often, this entails restoration of the physical complexity of degraded habitats, based on the assumption that this will enhance biodiversity, promote recolonization by more environmentally sensitive species and habitat specialists, and enhance ecosystem functioning (Palmer et al 1997, Pretty et al 2003, Kail et al 2007, Frainer et al 2017. However, the effectiveness of habitat restoration has been limited in several habitat types, including wetlands (Simenstad andThom 1996, Moreno-Mateos et al 2012), lakes (Boston et al 2016), woodlands (Wilkins et al 2003), and seagrass beds (van der Heide et al 2007).
