Dear All,
I am currently looking for documents/literature published or not on case studies in ecological restoration (whether they actually worked or not) in order to write a meta-analysis on the subject. I need any database (I would need ... hundreds, so all the database sent will be taken into account) offering lists of species at T0 (degraded state), T "post restoration", and if possible for the reference ecosystem (the one which one seeks to achieve, i.e. the ecosystem before degradation, or a similar ecosystem, geographically close) I would need databases on "plants" as well as "insects" and "birds" ( even small mammals optionally) The purpose of the study is to investigate on relevant indicators that would ensure the success (or not) of an ecological restoration operation, based on the work of R.Jaunatre (New synthetic indicators for Assessment to community resilience and restoration success, Ecological Engineering, 2013). Thank you very much in advance to everyone who will send me the data.

Please look at the reference to a relevant geodatabase in the attached.
Let me know when you encounter access issues.

You could try contacting the guys at CERU (http://www.ceru.up.ac.za/) about their Richards Bay Minerals Project. Some of my publications from my PhD might give you effect sizes (but this was carried out mostly using a chronosequence approach) - see the publications list on the CERU webpage. Getting raw data to do this would be amazing - good luck with it.
Many thanx Matthew !! I'll contact these guys asap !! Best regards ! Lilian
Hi Lilian Marchand, depending of the objective of your Meta-analysis you could also try to review the literature this paper: Crouzeilles R, Curran M, Ferreira MS, Lindenmayer DB, Grelle CEV, and Rey Benayas JM (2016) A global meta-analysis on the ecological drivers of forest restoration success. Nature Communications 7 paper. http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms11666
Dear Lilian, Renato Crouzeilles, Michael Curran and I created a database on forest restoration success. It was published this year at Ecology. The first paper we published is the one Moises Mendez-Toribio talked above.
Database: Forest restoration: a global dataset for biodiversity and vegetation structure 10.1002/ecy.1474
Hi Lilian,
Are you interested in restoration processes after infrastructure projects implementation?
Hi Lilian,
You had an excellent initiative and I am looking forward to see some results of your work. I think the most extended study (at least on forest - my expertise) is the previous paper mentioned by Moises - the recent study from Nature (2016) : A global meta-analysis on the ecological drivers of forest restoration success.
The paper can be downloaded from:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303346329_A_global_meta-analysis_on_the_ecological_drivers_of_forest_restoration_success
and the metadata was published in Ecology:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303559863_Forest_restoration_a_global_dataset_for_biodiversity_and_vegetation_structure_-_metadata
Other data I think would be available from SER - http://www.ser.org/

Thanks for the suggestion Ciprian Palaghianu. Lilian Marchand, my published dataset in Ecology can help you a lot and save most of your time.
Cheers, Renato Crouzeilles
Thanx a lot to all of you, I'll contact you one by one by private message.
