In an effort to support restoration programmes, specialists are developing supplies of seeds and seedlings, maintaining gene banks and sequencing the genomes of indigenous trees and other crops. Their work deals with one of the problems that could block major restoration efforts in different parts of the world.
“Where’s the planting material going to come from? That’s one big bottleneck,” says genetic-resources specialist Ramni Jamnadass.
Asia is arguably the region most neglected by global efforts to increase diversity in restoration and to study native species. Christopher Kettle, Bioversity International’s director for forest genetic resources and restoration in Rome, says that the need for infrastructure — things such as mechanisms for collecting and storing seeds, and nurseries to raise seedlings—might be most desperate here because many trees are ‘masting’ species, which don’t produce seeds every year. People need to be ready. “Otherwise, you miss the boat, you lose all the seed and you’ve got to wait another seven years,” says Kettle. “This is a really, really critical issue for restoration in Southeast Asia, because many of the most important timber species and tree species —the ones that will lock up the most carbon—they’re all masting species.”
Climate change is a driving factor in the push to restore forests, but it also raises questions, such as where trees can thrive in the future. Climate change is also expected to alter relationships between trees, insects, diseases and other forest species. “Insects that today are a minor problem may become a major problem if they can produce three or four generations in a year,” says forest ecologist John Stanturf. This remains a significant knowledge gap. “We know enough to know that this is a concern, but we don’t know enough about how to respond to it yet. That’s a great area to be doing research.” So is soil, says Cindy Prescott, a forest ecologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. “If you don’t look at the soil at the start, you can spend a lot of money and time putting in species that aren’t going to survive there.”
With so much research left to do, leaders in the field have been doing some soul-searching, and acknowledging that restoration can be motivated by — and designed to meet—different needs. “When you talk about conservation or restoration, the first question has to be restoration by whom, for whom?” says Daniel Janzen, a biologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
The question can have more than one answer. Much of the global funding for restoration is dedicated to developing it as a tool to mitigate climate change, notes restoration ecologist Pedro Brancalion. “But if you ask a farmer in Brazil if he or she is concerned about climate change, they would say, ‘No, I am concerned about water, ’” he says. Their interests as stewards of the land need to be better integrated with those who have the money to support restoration.
That has been the strongest lesson of all for Robin Chazdon, a forest ecologist at the University of Connecticut. Restoration is about more than what gets planted in the ground, she says. “Yes, it’s about forests, but it’s really about people. They are the agents of restoration.”
Right column:
A. People must pay attention to the fact that some kinds of trees do not produce seeds annually.
B. Soil is an important element to be taken into account in forest restoration.
C. The purpose of restoration efforts may be different from the real needs of the people involved.
D. Human factors, as well as trees planted, should be emphasised in forest restoration.
E. The supply of seeds is a tough problem that has to be dealt with.
F. When it comes to restoration, we have to start with an awareness of whose interests to serve.
G. Some creatures in the forest that multiply fast can become a great threat to forest restoration.
41Ramni Jamnadass
答案E
解析Jamnadass指出“Where’s the planting material going to come from? That’s one big bottleneck”,强调种植材料(种子、幼苗)来源是修复的重大瓶颈。E项“种子供应是必须应对的棘手问题”与此直接对应。A项说的是结实周期,属Kettle观点;G项谈昆虫威胁,属Stanturf;其余项分别对应土壤、动机差异、以人为本等他人论述,均非其核心。
42Christopher Kettle
答案A
解析Kettle强调许多树木是masting物种,“don’t produce seeds every year”,若不及时收集就会“miss the boat…wait another seven years”。A项“须注意有些树并非每年产种”准确概括这一点。E项虽也谈种子,但侧重供应短缺这一总瓶颈,属Jamnadass;G、B等分别对应虫害与土壤,与其“结实间歇”信息不符。
43John Stanturf
答案G
解析Stanturf指出气候变化下“Insects that today are a minor problem may become a major problem if they can produce three or four generations in a year”,即繁殖加快的生物可构成严重威胁。G项与此吻合。A、E谈种子与结实,B谈土壤,均非其关注点;C、D、F侧重修复目的与人的因素,与昆虫威胁无关。
44Pedro Brancalion
答案C
解析Brancalion对比全球资金多用于气候减缓,而巴西农民却说“I am concerned about water”,说明资助目的与当地真实需求可能错位。C项“修复目的可能不同于当事者实际需要”据此成立。F项更接近Janzen“为谁修复”的提问方式;D项强调人作为修复主体,属Chazdon;A、E、G、B均未涉及其资金—需求落差。
45Robin Chazdon
答案D
解析Chazdon总结“it’s about forests, but it’s really about people. They are the agents of restoration”,即修复既关树木更关人。D项“须同时强调人的因素与所栽树木”与此一致。F项侧重一开始就要明确服务谁的利益,更贴近Janzen;C项谈目的与需求差异,属Brancalion;其余项分别对应种子、土壤、虫害,均非其落脚点。
