SUMMARY:

Ecological restoration plays an important role in re-establishing the structural and functional capacity
of previously degraded and/or disturbed areas, but the implementation of techniques alone does not
guarantee the restoration of ecological processes. In this context, the aim of this study is to assess the
self-sustainability potential of an area undergoing ecological restoration, based on three different
stages of succession as reference areas. This is based on the principle that the success of restoration
is associated with the set of ecological indicators that play a fundamental role in the functioning of
the area, as well as the development time and the different succession paths. A comparison will be
made of a set of ecological indicators from an area undergoing restoration with areas in three different
stages of succession. The guiding hypothesis is that the set of scores for the ecological indicators of
the area undergoing restoration will be higher when compared to the initial stage of succession. To
this end, at least two ecological indicators were chosen for each attribute related to soil conditions,
external flows, composition, structure and functionality of the shrub-arboreal community. The data
will be analysed using the 5-star Wheel of Recovery system, which is a method that quantifies and
classifies the ecological indicators of an area undergoing restoration in relation to the reference area.
