Appendix A - Glossary of terms
Note 1: The glossary of terms is based on the 'National Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration in Australia (SERA 2015).
Abiotic - non-living materials that sustain biota within a given ecosystem, including sailor substrate, the atmospheric or aqueous medium, weather and climate, topographic relief and aspect, the nutrient regime, hydrological regime, fire regime and salinity regime.
Approach, restoration - the category of treatment (i.e. natural regeneration, assisted regeneration or reconstruction).
Assisted regeneration - the practice of deliberately removing obstacles and reinstating conditions to foster natural regeneration and recolonization. Interventions may be tailored to improve regeneration niches, trigger resprouting and germination and foster colonization. While this approach generally is typical of sites of low to intermediate degradation, even some very highly degraded sites have proven capable of natural recovery given appropriate treatment and sufficient time frames.
Attributes, of an ecosystem - the biotic and abiotic properties and functions of an ecosystem (including physical conditions, species composition, community structure, ecosystem function, mitigation of threats and external exchanges).
Biotic, biota - the living components of an ecosystem, including animals and plants, fungi, bacteria and other forms of life (large to microscopic).
