Ecological Restoration
A basic assessment of progress towards our ecological goals can be made by examining two questions:
- Is our work resulting in a net increase in biodiversity over time?
- Are we seeing a net increase in soil fertility
Other goals are:
- to maximize biomass production and carbon uptake
- to maximize carbon sequestration
- to minimize use of energy, especially non-renewable forms
- to increase water retention capability of landscapes; in soils, biomass and in surface features.
