restauration écologique; filtre; référence écologique; trajectoire écologique; indicateur de suivi
Abstract :
[fr] Dans un contexte global de perturbations anthropiques toujours croissantes des écosystèmes naturels et semi-naturels, l’unique conservation de ces écosystèmes ne suffit plus. La restauration écologique peut ainsi se révéler un complément essentiel à la conservation s.l. L’article consiste en une synthèse de la littérature scientifique dédiée aux concepts de la restauration écologique. Nous abordons la notion d’objectifs de la restauration notamment au travers de la référence écologique. Outre la définition d’objectifs clairs de restauration, la référence permet ensuite d’évaluer les efforts de restauration, par le biais d’indicateurs de suivi. Les indicateurs peuvent par ailleurs fournir des informations quant aux attributs de l’écosystème restauré et/ou la trajectoire écologique empruntée. Les éventuelles contraintes rencontrées par les espèces au travers de filtres à la restauration pourront être détectées et des mesures de compensation adéquates pourront être proposées.
