McIver, J., & Starr, L. (2001). Restoration of degraded lands in the interior Columbia River basin: passive vs. active approaches. Forest Ecology and Management, 153, 15-28. Summary: Active and passive methods exist for every restoration project; each approach has its benefits and drawbacks. It is up the the plan implementers to determine which approach is appropriate for the situation at hand with the best approach being determined by the goals of the restoration project as well as the extent and type of degradation. Research Goals:
Researchers conducted a literature review to better understand the relative merits and benefits of active vs passive restoration practices. Approaches are discussed for three specific examples where either active or passive approaches are best. However, the researchers concluded the paper by admitting that each restoration project needs to be assessed for its unique characteristics before choosing an approach to restore the degraded ecosystem.
