What is the primary goal of ecological restoration?

  1. To restore ecosystems to their original state

  2. To enhance the aesthetic value of an area

  3. To increase the economic value of a property

  4. To reduce the risk of natural disasters


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecological restoration aims to restore degraded or damaged ecosystems to their original state, or to a state that is as close as possible to their original condition.

Which of the following is NOT a common approach used in ecological restoration?

  1. Reforestation

  2. Wetland restoration

  3. Invasive species removal

  4. Fertilization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fertilization is not a common approach used in ecological restoration, as it can disrupt the natural nutrient balance of an ecosystem and lead to unintended consequences.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring an ecosystem to a state that is similar to, but not identical to, its original condition?

  1. Ecological restoration

  2. Ecological rehabilitation

  3. Ecological recovery

  4. Ecological reconstruction


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ecological rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring an ecosystem to a state that is similar to, but not identical to, its original condition.

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

  1. Improved biodiversity

  2. Enhanced ecosystem services

  3. Increased carbon sequestration

  4. Reduced risk of natural disasters


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ecological restoration does not directly lead to increased carbon sequestration. However, it can contribute to carbon sequestration by restoring natural ecosystems that absorb and store carbon.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring an ecosystem to its original state, or to a state that is as close as possible to its original condition?

  1. Ecological restoration

  2. Ecological rehabilitation

  3. Ecological recovery

  4. Ecological reconstruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ecological restoration refers to the process of restoring an ecosystem to its original state, or to a state that is as close as possible to its original condition.

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

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Limited scientific knowledge

  3. Public opposition

  4. Climate change


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change is not a common challenge faced in ecological restoration, as it is a global phenomenon that affects all ecosystems.

What is the term used to describe the process of restoring an ecosystem to a state that is different from its original condition, but still provides similar ecological functions?

  1. Ecological restoration

  2. Ecological rehabilitation

  3. Ecological recovery

  4. Ecological reconstruction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ecological reconstruction refers to the process of restoring an ecosystem to a state that is different from its original condition, but still provides similar ecological functions.

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

  1. Reforestation

  2. Wetland restoration

  3. Invasive species removal

  4. Bioremediation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bioremediation is not a common tool used in ecological restoration, as it is a process that uses microorganisms to clean up contaminated sites.
