What is the primary goal of ecosystem restoration?

  1. To restore degraded ecosystems to their natural state

  2. To create new ecosystems in areas where they previously did not exist

  3. To manage and protect existing ecosystems

  4. To study the effects of human activities on ecosystems


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecosystem restoration aims to bring back degraded ecosystems to their original, healthy condition.

Which of the following is NOT a common method used in ecosystem restoration?

  1. Reforestation

  2. Wetland restoration

  3. Invasive species removal

  4. Habitat fragmentation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Habitat fragmentation is a process that divides a habitat into smaller and isolated patches, which is typically not a goal of ecosystem restoration.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring a degraded habitat to its natural state?

  1. Habitat restoration

  2. Habitat recovery

  3. Habitat rehabilitation

  4. Habitat reclamation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Habitat restoration is the process of bringing a degraded habitat back to its natural state.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of ecosystem restoration?

  1. Improved biodiversity

  2. Increased ecosystem resilience

  3. Enhanced carbon sequestration

  4. Reduced soil erosion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While ecosystem restoration can have many benefits, reduced soil erosion is not typically a direct result of restoration efforts.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, but not necessarily identical?

  1. Ecological restoration

  2. Habitat restoration

  3. Ecosystem rehabilitation

  4. Ecosystem recovery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecological restoration aims to bring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, but not necessarily identical.

Which of the following is NOT a common challenge faced in ecosystem restoration?

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Lack of political support

  3. Lack of scientific knowledge

  4. Lack of public awareness


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

While lack of funding, political support, and public awareness can be challenges, lack of scientific knowledge is not typically a major obstacle in ecosystem restoration.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, but with a focus on specific ecosystem services?

  1. Ecosystem restoration

  2. Habitat restoration

  3. Ecosystem rehabilitation

  4. Ecosystem recovery


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ecosystem rehabilitation aims to bring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, with a focus on specific ecosystem services.

Which of the following is NOT a common tool used in habitat restoration?

  1. Reforestation

  2. Wetland restoration

  3. Invasive species removal

  4. Habitat fragmentation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Habitat fragmentation is a process that divides a habitat into smaller and isolated patches, which is typically not a goal of habitat restoration.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, but with a focus on specific plant and animal species?

  1. Ecosystem restoration

  2. Habitat restoration

  3. Ecosystem rehabilitation

  4. Species recovery


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Species recovery aims to bring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, with a focus on specific plant and animal species.

Which of the following is NOT a common benefit of habitat restoration?

  1. Improved biodiversity

  2. Increased ecosystem resilience

  3. Enhanced carbon sequestration

  4. Reduced soil erosion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While habitat restoration can have many benefits, reduced soil erosion is not typically a direct result of restoration efforts.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, but with a focus on specific ecosystem functions?

  1. Ecosystem restoration

  2. Habitat restoration

  3. Ecosystem rehabilitation

  4. Ecosystem recovery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecosystem restoration aims to bring a degraded ecosystem to a state that is similar to its natural state, with a focus on specific ecosystem functions.

Which of the following is NOT a common challenge faced in habitat restoration?

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Lack of political support

  3. Lack of scientific knowledge

  4. Lack of public awareness


Correct Option: C
