A New Approach for Tracking Vegetation Change after Restoration: A Case Study with Peatlands

Developing objective tools for tracking progress of restored sites is of general concern. Here, we present an innovative approach based on principal response curves (PRC) and species classification according to their preferential habitats to monitor changes in community composition. Following large‐...
