Restoration Ecology Group
Centre for Ecological Research, Hungary
Welcome to the homepage of the Restoration Ecology
Research Group of the Institute of Ecology and Botany, Centre for Ecological Research.
Restoration ecology combines ecological theory and practical applications leading to restoration of disturbed, degraded or completely damaged ecosystems (see more at Society for Ecological Restoration).
We investigate the spontaneous regeneration capacity and the restoration possibility of Pannonian sand grasslands. The group also aims to disseminate the ideas of restoration ecology and to positively influence the national and international policy.

The presence and spread of invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to biodiversity, as well as affecting the economy and human well-being. For this reason, there is a need to develop effective strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of IAS and promote the resilience of native communities. Studies suggest that seeding with native species...
A short update on the current state of play with the adoption of the Nature Restoration Law (status on 17 May) for the RestoreNature NGO coalition mainly to inform the NGO action in the next weeks, especially in the run up to important votes in the European Parliament.
The group had the opportunity to present our restoration experiment at the National Botanical Garden's "Kert a köbön" invasive species event series. The event included two guided tours to the restoration experiment. At first we gave a brief introduction of the National Botanical Garden and the Ecological and Botanical Institute, and then we gave...

Saving the EU Nature Restoration Law: the Legal Working Group of SER Europe debunks 6 myths and misconceptions. Read the policy briefing on why the Law is essential for legal certainty in biodiversity and climate policies: EU Nature Restoration Law essential for legal certainty.
Invasion of alien species is one of the main drivers of land degradation threatening both natural and managed ecosystems. Ecological restoration is crucial in controlling invasion to improve biotic resistance and avoid further land degradation. We investigated the possibility of controlling the establishment of invasive alien species (IAS) by...
From 31 March to 1 April 2023, the Restoration Ecology Group attended in the 23rd Biology Days in Kolozsvár/Cluj-Napoca. Thank you for the quality organisation!
The purpose of academic work is to test whether long-term changes in weather conditions – especially drought events –influence vegetation development to an extent that modifies the results of restoration trials. Attempts to eliminate black locust stands and restore sandy grassland in Hungary have already started in the 1990s. In 1995, three sites...
