Optimal restoration: Accounting for space, time and uncertainty
TLDR
A restoration prioritization decision support tool is developed to identify the combination of restoration sites and the schedule for their implementation most likely to deliver the greatest utility for a fixed budget and operational constraints and determines the relative priority for restoring each site and develops a restoration schedule over 20 years.

A Review of Stream Restoration Techniques and a Hierarchical Strategy for Prioritizing Restoration in Pacific Northwest Watersheds
TLDR
The effectiveness of various restoration techniques at improving fish habitat is reviewed, and a hierarchical strategy for prioritizing them is developed, based on principles of watershed processes, protecting existing high-quality habitats, and current knowledge of the effectiveness of specific techniques.
Defining the Limits of Restoration: The Need for Realistic Goals
TLDR
The diverse roots of restoration ecology are discussed, and it is suggested that restoration ecology would be better served by recognizing that the diversity of conditions requiring restoration demands much flexibility in goal setting.
