Conclusion
Ecological restoration in multiuse landscapes requires successful ecological planning
and socioeconomic coordination. With the likelihood of climatic changes, restoration
planners must make decisions that consider when, how much, and in what way cli-
matic conditions will change during the life of a restoration project and beyond. Un-
derstanding the implications of climate change on society and the costs of meeting so-
ciety's demands on restorationists requires a systematic approach. First, restorationists
must understand the biophysical implications of climate change. Next, they need to
understand how these effects influence restoration planning. Concurrently, they will
need to recognize how people think about the types of challenges presented by cli-
mate change. Finally, restoration planners will have to identify techniques that re-
main appropriate as well as develop new restoration approaches that meet new cli-
matic, social, and economic conditions.
