United Nations declared 2021-2030 as the decade for The United Nations (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration “Prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide” (https://www.decadeonrestoration.org/). This is a great challenge ahead, crucial to achieving sustainable development goals (SDG's). The rate of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation is unprecedented, decreasing the quantity and quality of ecosystem services provisioning. Ecosystems degradation affects all SDG’s, but may affect especially No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Clean Water, and Sanitation, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Climate Action, Life Below Water and Life on Land. There is no more time to wait. The current degradation is the cause of a massive extinction rate, that approximately 3.2 billion people especially indigenous people. Restoration is the key that can revert this process. Restoration plays an essential role in increasing soil conservation and water quality. Therefore, it is vital to assess soil and water's response to restoration measures in a global context and how it will improve well-being and contribute to achieving UN SDG's.
This special issue will mainly address the following scientific issues:
1) Ecosystem restoration in, but not limited to warfare affected areas, urban, industrial, mining and agricultural
2) Techniques applied for restoration
3) Implications of restoration on soil and water ecosystem services.
