We study patterns and mechanisms that shape the recovery of ecosystems after anthropogenic disturbance over long periods of time (centuries to millennia). Our findings strive to improve current efforts and strategies to restore degraded ecosystems and conserve “undisturbed” ones and to increase the complexity of ecological design and engineering. We combine observations and experimental research with analytical reviews in ecosystems in all impacted biomes, from the arctic to the tropics.
