One restoration list is not enough. Negreiros et al showed that Brazil’s campo rupestre has extremely high species turnover, requiring habitat-specific “Blue Lists” for restoration.

Serpentine forests may be more resilient than expected. Garnica Díaz et al found that nutrient-poor soils selected for traits linked to stronger post-hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico.

Even small trails can shape rainforest biodiversity. Cottet et al found that bryophyte diversity and functional traits changed with trail proximity and substrate type in Patagonian rainforest.
